Infrastructure

DevOps and CI/CD.

Build, test and release without anyone babysitting it

DevOps and CI/CD. Pipelines that build, test and release your work automatically, so shipping is a routine event rather than a risk. We set up the workflow, wire in the tests and checks that matter, and show your team how to run and change it themselves.

What we do here.

When releasing is a manual event, it gets postponed. Changes pile up, each release carries more risk than the last, and eventually nobody wants to touch it. The problem compounds quietly until a small fix takes a fortnight.

Pipelines build and test the work automatically, so shipping becomes routine. Small releases, often, with the tests catching the obvious mistakes before a person has to.

This matters more for small teams than large ones, because they have the least time for manual process and no cover when the one person who knows the steps is away. We build on the tools you already pay for, and where there are no tests we start with the pipeline and add coverage where it protects the things that would hurt most.

How we deliver it.

  • Discover and scope. We review your processes, systems and goals, then agree the scope, budget and timeline with you.
  • Build and ship. We build and test your system in planned stages, with progress reviews at each agreed milestone.
  • Train and hand over. We deploy, document and train your staff, then provide ongoing support once the system is live.
  • Get you running and keep you running. We handle the whole project, from planning and building your systems to getting them live. After launch we stay on to support, maintain and update everything, so your team never manages the technology.
  • Work with your team. You know the problem but not the technical solution. We validate the idea, build the system and train the people who will run it. After launch, we step back or provide continued support where needed.
  • Join your team. You have staff and a roadmap, but a skills gap is slowing down your progress. We place one of our experienced engineers within your team to close it, for an agreed fixed period or on an ongoing basis.

FAQs

What changes for us day to day?
Releasing stops being an event. Work is built and tested automatically, so shipping a change is routine instead of something everybody postpones until it piles up.
We are a small team. Is it overkill?
Usually the opposite. Small teams have the least time to spend on manual releases and the least cover when the person who knows the process is away.
Will it work with our existing tools?
Yes. GitHub, GitLab and the rest all support this, and we build on what you already pay for rather than moving you.
What if we have no tests?
Then we start with the pipeline and add tests where they protect the things that would hurt most. Waiting for full coverage means never starting.
