DevOps Engineering

Infrastructure your team can run with confidence.

Your workloads move between cloud and on-premise, your CI/CD pipelines ship without drama, your apps containerize with Docker or Kubernetes, and your production stays quiet on SRE and observability practices we put in place, all handled by one team.

  • Migration between cloud and on-premise, with reversible cutovers
  • CI/CD pipelines that take a commit to production in minutes
  • Docker when it's enough, Kubernetes when it pays off
  • SRE and observability that page the right person

How we work

Five disciplines, one DevOps team.

Each of these areas ties to a measurable result you can point to. They're the parts of DevOps that make a real difference to how your systems run.

Migration

Cloud ↔ on-premise

Move off AWS, GCP, or Azure when you want to reclaim margin, meet data residency rules, or run AI workloads closer to your GPUs. Or go the other way and lift on-prem systems into the cloud when elasticity matters more than a fixed bill.

  • Workload assessment and TCO modelling before anything moves
  • Phased cutovers, each one with a rollback gate
  • A plan for network, identity, storage, and replication
  • Capacity sizing for bare-metal, hypervisor, or Kubernetes

Delivery

CI/CD pipeline engineering

Get from a commit to production in minutes instead of days. Your delivery pipelines come automated, with quality gates, security scans, and gradual rollouts wired in from the start.

  • GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, or Jenkins
  • Trunk-based or GitFlow, with promotion gates between stages
  • Automated testing, SAST/DAST scans, and image signing
  • Blue/green and canary deployments with a rollback path
Discover more
Containerization

Docker and Kubernetes

Most teams don't need Kubernetes on day one. Some can't function without it by day 100. You get the tier that fits where you are right now, on a path we design to scale once you outgrow it.

  • Simple tier: Dockerize legacy apps and ship them with Compose
  • Advanced tier: production K8s on EKS, GKE, AKS, or bare metal
  • Helm, GitOps, autoscaling, secrets, and RBAC built in
  • Stateful workloads handled properly, not avoided
Discover more
Reliability

Site reliability engineering

Reliability you can put a number on rather than just hope for. You get SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets that reflect how your business actually feels downtime, plus the runbooks and on-call process that turn a 2 a.m. page into a ten-minute fix.

  • SLI and SLO design grounded in real user journeys
  • Error budget policies that balance shipping speed against reliability
  • On-call setup, paging, and incident command training
  • A postmortem habit and runbooks that stop outages repeating
Discover more
Observability

Observability engineering

Logs, metrics, and traces pulled into one clear picture. Your systems get instrumented so the next outage tells you what broke and where it broke, instead of just hinting that something somewhere is wrong.

  • OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo
  • Dashboards built around the journeys your users actually take
  • Alert routing tuned so the noise drops and signal stays
  • Distributed tracing across your microservices
Discover more
Containerization

Pick the tier that matches your team.

Kubernetes is capable, but it's overkill for most teams that ask for it. You get the tier that matches where your team actually is today, whether that's a straightforward Docker setup or a full Kubernetes platform, with an honest read either way.

Simple tierMost teams start here

Docker

Dependable deployments without the operator overhead.

Best for

Startups, internal tools, single-region apps, monoliths, and AI inference services.

What's included

  • Multi-stage Dockerfiles tuned for image size and caching
  • Docker Compose so local dev matches production
  • Container registry, image signing, and vulnerability scanning
  • A managed runtime (ECS, Cloud Run, App Runner) or a VPS
  • CI/CD that builds, scans, and deploys on every merge
Start with Docker
Advanced tierScale-up ready

Kubernetes

Multi-service, multi-region infrastructure that heals itself.

Best for

Scale-ups, multi-tenant SaaS, regulated industries, GPU workloads, and microservices.

What's included

  • Production EKS, GKE, or AKS, or self-managed bare metal
  • Helm charts, Kustomize, and GitOps via ArgoCD or Flux
  • Autoscaling at the pod, node, and cluster level
  • Service mesh, ingress, cert-manager, and external-secrets
  • Observability, policy enforcement, and disaster recovery

Migration paths

Cloud and on-premise are tools, not religions.

Your workloads move in whichever direction makes sense for your unit economics, your regulatory situation, and your AI plans. Whatever we move, we make sure it can be moved back.

CloudOn-premise

Move back to your own data center

Bring predictable, steady-state workloads back in-house to reclaim margin. Run AI training and inference next to your GPU fleet. Meet data residency and sovereignty rules while keeping the tooling your team is used to.

  • Bare-metal Kubernetes or hypervisor deployments
  • Object storage, backup, and DR that feel as easy as the cloud
  • GPU scheduling and AI inference pipelines
On-premiseCloud

Trade fixed capacity for elasticity

Swap home-grown plumbing for managed services. Reach customers in new regions without building data centers to do it, and get your team out of rack-and-stack work for good.

  • Lift-and-shift, replatform, or refactor, decided per workload
  • Multi-region designs with cost guardrails set from day one
  • Landing zone, IAM, networking, and FinOps built in
Engagement

A five-step engagement that ends with you in control.

You can run the system without us by the time the work is finished. Every engagement is built around that handoff, starting from day one.

01

Assess

We audit your stack, map the dependencies, and find the risk areas. You get a written report inside a week.

02

Plan

We design the target architecture, agree on what success looks like, and break the work into phases you can reverse.

03

Build

We implement infrastructure as code, pipelines, and observability, working alongside your team rather than in a silo.

04

Migrate

We cut over in phases using traffic mirroring, dual-running, or canary patterns. Every phase has a rollback we've tested.

05

Hand off

Runbooks, dashboards, and on-call training. We consider the job done when your team can run the system without us.

FAQ

Common questions before you hire us.

How long does a typical migration take?

Most migrations run 6 to 16 weeks, from assessment through to the final cutover. The exact timeline depends on how many workloads you have, how much data is involved, and how many stateful dependencies are in the mix. We always begin with a one to two week assessment, so you have a real estimate before you commit to anything.

Should we start with Docker or jump straight to Kubernetes?

If you have fewer than ten services and a small ops team, Docker usually wins on simplicity and cost. Kubernetes starts to pay off once you need multi-tenancy, multiple regions, advanced autoscaling, or GPU scheduling. We'll give you a straight answer on which one fits, even when that means recommending the smaller engagement.

Do you operate the infrastructure long-term, or just hand it off?

Either works. Most clients go with a hand-off model and keep optional retainer support on the side. Some prefer us to run ops fully, which we'll do with clear SLAs and an exit clause so you can bring it in-house whenever you want.

How do you handle observability without locking us into a vendor?

Our default is OpenTelemetry for instrumentation, with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo on the backend. That stack is open source and portable. If you'd rather use Datadog or another vendor, we'll wire it up, but at the instrumentation layer you stay free to switch.

Will moving to the cloud raise our bill, and how do you control cost?

Cloud is rarely cheaper by default, it gets cheaper when it's sized and governed properly. We model total cost of ownership before anything moves, then build in FinOps guardrails: budgets, autoscaling, right-sizing, and spot or reserved capacity where they fit. You get a monthly cost dashboard so spend never surprises you.

What happens if a migration goes wrong mid-cutover?

Every cutover phase ships with a rollback we have already tested, so we can return to the last known-good state without data loss. We cut over in phases using traffic mirroring, dual-running, or canary patterns, which means only a slice of traffic is exposed at any moment. You sign off on each phase before we move to the next.

Who owns the infrastructure and the code you write?

You do. Everything we build, including infrastructure as code, pipelines, Helm charts, and runbooks, lives in your repositories and your cloud accounts from day one. There is no proprietary layer you have to license from us, and nothing locks you to keeping us on retainer.

Can you set up on-call and SRE practices for a team that has never had them?

Yes, and this is one of the most common requests we get. We design SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets around your real user journeys, then stand up paging, escalation, and incident command with training for your engineers. The goal is that a 2 a.m. page becomes a calm, ten-minute fix rather than a scramble.

Which tools will we end up running, and can we use what we already have?

We default to widely adopted, well-supported tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana) so your team can hire and Google for help. If you already run a stack your engineers know, we build on it rather than forcing a rewrite. We only recommend replacing a tool when it is actively costing you reliability or money.

How do you avoid locking us into a single cloud provider?

We build on open, portable foundations: containers, Terraform, and Kubernetes-native patterns that run on any major cloud or bare metal. We use managed services where they clearly save you time, but we keep the abstractions clean so a future move is an engineering project, not a rewrite. If multi-cloud or an exit is a real requirement for you, we design for it from the start.
