Cloud and DevOps
Hosting, pipelines, backups and monitoring set up so deployments are boring.
A deployment should be a non-event: push code, pipeline runs, it's live, and if something's wrong you know within minutes, not from a user complaint days later. We set up infrastructure with that as the goal - hosting sized correctly for actual load, CI/CD pipelines that run tests before anything reaches production, and monitoring that actually gets watched.
Backups are configured, scheduled and periodically tested for restore, not just switched on and assumed to work. Access is controlled properly - no shared root credentials, no single point of failure if one person is unavailable. Secrets are managed outside the codebase, never hardcoded into a config file that ends up in version control.
Where it fits the project, that means containerised deployments and infrastructure that's reproducible rather than hand-configured once and never documented. The goal throughout is the same: nobody should need to remember tribal knowledge to keep the system running.
What this covers
- Hosting and infrastructure Sized for actual load rather than a guess.
- CI/CD pipelines Tests run before anything reaches production.
- Monitoring and alerts You hear about a problem in minutes, not from a user days later.
- Backups and restores Scheduled, and periodically tested by actually restoring them.
- Access and secrets No shared root credentials, no secrets in the codebase.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical project take?
Most projects run 4 to 16 weeks depending on scope, agreed and written down before work starts so there are no surprises partway through.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope - fixed-price for a defined build, or a retained monthly arrangement for ongoing work. See the pricing section on our services page for the general shape of each option.
Do we own the code and assets at the end?
Yes. Every engagement ends with full source code handover, documentation, and a support window - nothing is held back to keep you dependent on us.
