Services
Engineering for the systems behind your product.
Seven areas of work. Most engagements combine two or three.
DevOps Engineering
Build reliable delivery pipelines and development workflows.
Discuss this workThe problem
Releases are manual, inconsistent and depend on one person being available. Nobody is confident about what is running in production.
What we do
We design the path from commit to production — environments, pipelines, review gates and rollback — so releasing is routine instead of risky.
Typically includes
- Delivery pipeline design and implementation
- Environment strategy for development, staging and production
- Automated build, test and release workflows
- Release and rollback procedures your team can run
- Documentation and handover to your engineers
Outcome
Any engineer on the team can ship safely, and you can say exactly what is running in production.
Technologies we may use
- GitHub Actions
- GitLab CI
- ArgoCD
- Docker
Cloud Engineering
Design and migrate infrastructure for modern production environments.
Discuss this workThe problem
Workloads run on infrastructure that grew by accident — ageing servers, an unplanned cloud account, capacity and recovery handled by hand.
What we do
We plan the target environment workload by workload, build it as code, and migrate with a tested cutover and a rollback path at every step.
Typically includes
- Architecture and cost modelling before anything moves
- Workload inventory and dependency mapping
- Network, DNS and certificate planning
- Database migration with tested cutover and rollback
- Post-migration tuning and cost review
Outcome
Infrastructure you can rebuild, scale and recover — with a cost you can predict.
Technologies we may use
- AWS
- Google Cloud
- Azure
- Hetzner
- On-premise
Infrastructure Automation
Replace repetitive manual operations with reproducible infrastructure.
Discuss this workThe problem
Servers are configured by hand. Environments drift apart. Rebuilding anything means remembering what someone did months ago.
What we do
We describe your infrastructure as code, put it under version control, and make every environment reproducible from a repository.
Typically includes
- Infrastructure as code for all environments
- Configuration management and provisioning
- Automated certificate, patch and dependency workflows
- Reproducible staging that matches production
- Change review through pull requests, not SSH sessions
Outcome
Environments can be rebuilt from scratch, and changes are reviewed before they reach production.
Technologies we may use
- Terraform
- Ansible
- Pulumi
- Packer
Kubernetes & Containers
Run containerized workloads with the right orchestration strategy.
Discuss this workThe problem
Containers work locally but production is a single host — or a cluster was installed and nobody is confident operating it.
What we do
We containerise properly, then build or repair a cluster with sane defaults: ingress, TLS, autoscaling, resource limits, health checks and rollout strategy. If you do not need Kubernetes, we will say so.
Typically includes
- Production-grade container images
- Managed or self-hosted cluster setup
- Ingress, TLS, secrets and configuration management
- Autoscaling, resource limits and health checks
- Zero-downtime rollouts and rollbacks
Outcome
Workloads that scale horizontally, recover on their own, and deploy without downtime.
Technologies we may use
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Helm
- ArgoCD
Observability
Understand system health before your users tell you something is wrong.
Discuss this workThe problem
When something breaks, the investigation starts with SSH and guesswork. There is no history to look at and no alert that fired.
What we do
We instrument systems with metrics, logs and alerts tied to real user impact — signal, not noise that everyone learns to ignore.
Typically includes
- Metrics, dashboards and service-level indicators
- Centralised logging and retention
- Uptime and certificate expiry checks
- Alert routing with clear ownership
- Runbooks written for your systems
Outcome
You find out about problems before your customers do, and you can explain what happened afterwards.
Technologies we may use
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- Loki
- OpenTelemetry
Infrastructure Security
Reduce operational risk through secure architecture, access control, hardening and monitoring.
Discuss this workThe problem
Services are exposed that should not be, credentials are shared, secrets live in Git, and access is never reviewed.
What we do
We reduce the attack surface, bring secrets and access under control, and make secure configuration part of the design rather than a later task.
Typically includes
- Network segmentation and closing exposed services
- Secrets management and credential rotation
- Least-privilege access and SSH key hygiene
- TLS, WAF and hardened defaults
- Backup, restore testing and recovery planning
Outcome
Fewer ways in, no shared credentials, and a recovery plan that has actually been tested.
Technologies we may use
- Vault
- Cloudflare
- OIDC / SSO
- CIS baselines
Managed DevOps
Keep infrastructure healthy after deployment through ongoing monitoring, maintenance and improvement.
Discuss this workThe problem
Infrastructure needs continuous attention, but a full-time DevOps hire is not justified — or not findable — yet.
What we do
We take ongoing responsibility for your environment on an agreed monthly scope: monitoring, patching, deployments, cost review and steady improvement.
Typically includes
- Monitoring and alert response
- Deployment support and release management
- Patching, upgrades and certificate renewal
- Backup verification and restore drills
- Monthly infrastructure and cost review
Outcome
Infrastructure that is looked after every month, by an engineer who already knows your systems.
Technologies we may use
- Runbooks
- On-call rotation
- Monthly review
Technology follows the requirement, never the other way round. These are tools, not the offer.
How we work
A short path from first call to running infrastructure.
You know what happens next, what it costs, and what you get at the end of each step.
- 01
Assessment
A call and a review of your current setup. You get written findings ranked by risk and effort.
Week 1
Findings report
- 02
Scope
We agree the architecture, the sequence of work and a fixed price before anything starts.
Week 1–2
Plan and fixed quote
- 03
Build
Infrastructure as code, pipelines, monitoring and security controls — in your accounts, in the open.
Weeks 2–8
Working environment
- 04
Operate
We keep it healthy on a monthly scope, or hand it over to your team with runbooks and training.
Ongoing
Operations or clean handover
Infrastructure assessment
Know where your infrastructure stands.
We review your current setup and identify the highest-impact improvements across reliability, security, deployment, monitoring and backup.
No sales deck. No obligation. Written findings you keep.
What we review
- Reliability and single points of failure
- Deployment process and release risk
- Security, access control and exposure
- Monitoring, alerting and visibility
- Backup and tested recovery
- Infrastructure cost and scalability
Next step
