CI/CD Pipeline Setup and Deployment Services
If deploying your application is something only one person knows how to do, you have an availability problem disguised as a process. This work turns deployment into a repeatable, reversible, boring event.
Discuss your projectWhat you get
A pipeline
Push to a branch, and tests, type checks, linting, and a build run automatically. A merge to the main branch deploys. No one runs a build on their laptop and uploads the result, which is how environments drift apart in the first place.
Separate environments
Production, staging, and ephemeral preview environments per pull request where the platform supports it. Staging holds data shaped like production's, so a migration that will fail does so before it matters.
One-command rollback
A bad release is reverted by promoting the previous build, not by hot-fixing production under pressure. We test the rollback path during setup, because an untested rollback is a hope rather than a plan.
Secrets handling
Credentials in the platform's secret store or a dedicated manager, injected at runtime, never committed. Separate values per environment, so a staging key cannot reach your production database.
Database migrations
Migrations run as a defined pipeline step with a backup taken first, rather than by someone connecting to production and pasting SQL.
A written runbook
Plain prose covering deploying, rolling back, restoring a backup, rotating a credential, and what to check when the application is down. Written for whoever is on call at 2am, not for us.
Platforms
We work with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI for pipelines, and deploy to AWS, Google Cloud, Vercel, Render, Fly.io, or plain Docker on a virtual machine. We have no preference to defend.
The choice should follow what your team can operate after we leave. A Kubernetes setup is the right answer for some workloads and an expensive liability for a team of three with no platform engineer. If a managed platform costs more per month and saves you an engineer's attention, that is usually the cheaper option overall, and we will say so even though it is less work for us.
Where you already have infrastructure, we work within it rather than proposing a migration. Replatforming is a separate decision with its own business case, and it should not arrive bundled inside a request for a deployment pipeline.
How the engagement runs
- 01
Audit what happens today
How a change currently reaches production, who can do it, what is manual, and where the single points of failure are. Usually there is at least one step that exists only in someone's memory.
- 02
Pipeline on a branch
We build the pipeline against a non-production environment first, so a broken pipeline never blocks your releases while it is being built.
- 03
Cut over
Production moves onto the pipeline, with the old path kept available until the new one has survived a few real releases.
- 04
Handover
Your team performs a deploy, a rollback, and a backup restore themselves while we watch and answer questions. Reading a runbook is not the same as having used it once.
