DevOps and Kubernetes consulting for production systems

We set up and fix CI/CD, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code and monitoring, and take on the DevOps work your team has no time for. Our engineers have built pipelines, Helm charts and infrastructure for crypto exchanges, banking and payment platforms, including hardening to PCI DSS.

When teams call us about DevOps

  • Deployments are manual, slow, or only one person knows how they work.
  • You are moving to Kubernetes or between clouds and want it done once.
  • The same incidents keep coming back because nobody has time for the root cause.
  • Monitoring exists, but alerts don’t tell you what is wrong.
  • You need senior DevOps capacity without hiring a full-time team.

What we do

Automation
Manual steps turned into pipelines and scripts: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, custom Helm charts and repeatable environments.
Setting up
Infrastructure, monitoring and developer tooling configured and deployed so your team can ship without waiting on ops.
Troubleshooting
Problems in infrastructure and development tools traced to the root cause and fixed for good.
Migrations and ad-hoc work
System and cloud migrations, disaster recovery plan testing and one-off tasks, on demand.
Consultations
Advice on DevOps practices, tooling and architecture before you commit to a direction.
Maintenance
Ongoing system administration that keeps infrastructure healthy and catches issues before they become incidents.

How an engagement runs

  1. Assess

    We look at your current setup, pipelines and pain points with the people who run them.

  2. Agree scope

    A fixed task, a project such as a migration, or ongoing support. You choose what fits.

  3. Build and fix

    We work inside your repositories and workflows, alongside your developers.

  4. Hand over or keep running

    Documented and handed to your team, or maintained by us.

Questions buyers ask us

  • Yes. We integrate with your engineers, workflows and stack rather than replacing them, and we work closely with your developers so changes stick.

  • Yes. A system migration, a disaster recovery test or a specific recurring incident is a normal engagement for us, as is ongoing maintenance.

  • AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Hetzner and other bare-metal providers, private cloud and on-premises; Linux and Windows; Kubernetes, Docker and Helm; CI/CD and infrastructure as code.

  • Yes. On several long-running engagements, including the crypto platform where we ran 40+ nodes, we worked with full access to production and could order infrastructure on the client’s behalf. We agree the access level with you at the start.

  • Our team has built and hardened infrastructure for banking and payment platforms, including work to PCI DSS requirements.
