Long-exposure light trails tracing a switchback mountain road at dusk

Merge to multi-region production in under twelve minutes.

Every deploy and rollback traces back to a commit, with an audit trail a regulator would accept.

What you get

Pipelines your team can debug at 2am.

All of it in your repo and your AWS account.

Example, shaped to your repos and environments.
Deliverables
  • Pipeline code versioned in your repo
  • IaC modules for preview, staging, production
  • Dashboards and alerts that page only when needed
  • On-call runbooks, with three real incidents walked through before we leave
  • Security baseline: scanning, signing and policy-as-code on every merge
The work

Four stages, from pipeline design to security controls.

  • 01Pipeline architectureBranch strategy, build stages and promotion rules, designed around your product cadence. Monorepo or polyrepo, trunk-based or Git-flow: the shape of your team, not a template.
  • 02Infrastructure as codeTerraform, CloudFormation or CDK, your choice, versioned in your repo. Environments can be rebuilt from zero, and drift detection is on before anything reaches production.
  • 03Observability and alertingMetrics, logs, traces and dashboards from day one. We don’t ship a pipeline without the telemetry that tells you when it breaks and who to wake up.
  • 04Security and compliance controlsBuilt into the first commit, not bolted on before a SOC 2 audit, so the audit trail a regulator would accept already exists.

Fit

Not a fit if you…

  • Want a managed service, 24/7 incident response, or a pipeline we run forever. We build, hand over and leave, and we recommend firms that specialize in running it.
  • Are a two-person startup. A single GitHub Actions file is fine, so don’t hire us yet.
  • Want a pre-packaged Jenkins template. We design pipelines around your specific product, not a starter.
Questions

Questions about your existing setup.

How much does a CI/CD engagement cost?

A CI/CD platform from scratch runs $40–90k: pipelines, environments, security scanning, monitoring and runbooks, handed over to your team. Rebuilds of existing systems: $70–180k, depending on scope and compliance. You get the architecture plan and budget in the first 48 hours.

Can you work with our existing Jenkins, GitLab or GitHub Actions setup?

Yes. Most engagements are rebuilds or consolidations, and we tell you honestly what is worth keeping and what isn’t.

Do you handle Kubernetes too?

Yes, EKS is where we work, and we have run multi-tenant clusters for Fortune 500 environments. We use Helm, Kustomize or ArgoCD, whichever fits your team.

What is your approach to observability?

Dashboards that show what is breaking, and alerts that page only when a human needs to act. We use DataDog, Grafana or CloudWatch, whatever your team already has.

Will you help with SOC 2 or PCI audits?

Yes. We build the evidence trail into the pipeline from day one, so "who deployed this commit?" is one query.

Tell us what you're building.

We reply within one business day.

First call: 30 minutes, on a Tuesday or Thursday, with two engineers, not a sales rep. If we’re the wrong fit, we’ll say so and name a firm that is.
