CI/CD, DevEx & delivery

Pipelines that finish in minutes, deploys that roll back, and alerting that means something at 3am.

  • GitHub Actions
  • GitLab CI
  • Docker
  • Argo CD
  • Grafana
  • OpenTelemetry
  • Sentry

Every minute of CI is paid for by every engineer, every day, forever. A forty-minute pipeline is not an inconvenience — it is a tax on the number of times anyone is willing to try something.

We cut pipeline time with caching, parallelism and test selection, add preview environments so review means opening the thing rather than reading the diff, and make deploys reversible: staged rollout, health gates, feature flags, and a rollback that a nervous person can run.

On the other side we wire observability that is actually read — metrics, traces and structured logs joined by a request id, and alerts tied to symptoms a user would notice rather than to every CPU spike. An alert nobody acts on trains the team to ignore all of them.

What you get

  • CI with caching, parallelism, test selection and preview environments
  • Deploys with staged rollout, health gates, feature flags and rollback
  • Metrics, traces and structured logs joined by request id
  • Alerting tied to user-visible symptoms, plus the runbooks behind it

Common questions

How quickly would we notice a difference?
Pipeline time usually moves in the first fortnight, because the early wins are caching and parallelism rather than architecture. Deploy safety and observability take longer, since they involve changing habits as well as configuration.
Will you replace our tooling?
Only where it is genuinely the blocker. Migrating CI providers is a real cost with no user-visible benefit, and most slow pipelines are slow for reasons that follow you to the new provider.
Who owns this after you leave?
Your team, which is why the runbooks and a walkthrough are deliverables rather than favours. If a pipeline only we can debug, we have made the situation worse.

Tell us what has to ship, and by when.

One call, no deck. If we are not the right team for it we will say so, and usually point you at who is.
