Ship, watch, repeat

Hire DevOps engineers

Environments, deployments and monitoring, so releasing an update is routine and does not depend on one person's laptop.

Hiring model that usually fits

Project based

Setting up a pipeline and environments has a clear finished state. Ongoing operations suit monthly.

If deploying means someone copying files to a server by hand, every release is a risk. DevOps work makes it repeatable: the same steps every time, tested before they reach customers.

A DevOps engineer sets up the pipeline from code to production, the separate environments for testing, and the monitoring that tells you something is wrong before your customers do.

Hire one when

Releases are manual, slow or frightening
Only one person knows how to deploy
Downtime is discovered by customers first

What they do day to day

Set up automated build and deploy pipelines
Create staging and production environments
Containerise apps with Docker
Add monitoring, alerts and log collection
Automate backups and recovery
Keep servers patched and access locked down

What you get

One-command or automatic deployments
A staging environment that matches production
Alerts that reach the right person
Written steps for recovering from failure

Technologies they work in

The stack depends on what you already run and who will maintain it. Open any one to see what that developer builds.

Common questions

Do we need Kubernetes?

Usually not at first. Many products run well on simpler setups. Kubernetes is worth it when you run many services or need to scale them independently.

Can you work with our current host?

Yes. We improve what you have before suggesting a move.

What happens if something breaks at night?

Monitoring and alerts are set up to reach whoever you choose. Ongoing on-call cover is agreed separately.
