Still Deploying Manually?

Manual deployments are the leading cause of outages, bugs in production and developer burnout. CI/CD solves all three.

🐌

Deployments Take Hours

Manually building, testing and deploying code takes half a day. With CI/CD, every merge to main triggers an automatic deployment in minutes.

💥

Bugs Reach Production

Without automated testing in the pipeline, broken code gets deployed. CI/CD runs your full test suite on every commit before anything reaches production.

😰

Deployments Are Stressful Events

If deploying requires a dedicated engineer on a Friday afternoon with fingers crossed, the process is broken. CI/CD makes deployments boring — which is exactly right.

🔁

No Rollback Mechanism

When something goes wrong in production, rolling back is a manual panic. A proper CI/CD pipeline deploys with automatic rollback on health check failure.

🧪

Testing Is Skipped Under Pressure

When deployment is manual and slow, tests get skipped when there's time pressure. CI/CD makes tests non-negotiable — they run automatically on every commit.

🔒

No Security Scanning

Vulnerabilities introduced in code or container images go undetected until they're exploited. CI/CD includes automatic security scanning at every build.

What You Get in 7 Days

A complete, production-grade CI/CD pipeline — not a template, but a fully configured system for your specific stack.

⚙️

Pipeline Configuration (Pipeline as Code)

Fully version-controlled pipeline configuration in GitHub Actions YAML, GitLab CI .gitlab-ci.yml or Jenkinsfile — no GUI, no snowflakes, everything in Git.

🧪

Automated Test Integration

Unit tests, integration tests and end-to-end tests run on every commit. Test results reported in the PR/MR and deployments blocked on test failure.

🐳

Docker Build & Registry Push

Optimised multi-stage Dockerfile, image tagging strategy (git SHA + semver), push to ECR, GHCR, GAR or Docker Hub — with layer caching to minimise build times.

🔍

Security Scanning

Snyk or Trivy for dependency and container image scanning. SonarQube or CodeQL for SAST. Secret detection with Gitleaks — all integrated as non-blocking or blocking gates.

🌍

Multi-Environment Deployments

Development, staging and production environment deployments with environment-specific configurations, secrets management and promotion approvals between stages.

🚢

Zero-Downtime Production Deployment

Rolling deployments on Kubernetes, blue-green on ECS or canary on App Runner — with health checks and automatic rollback if the new version fails.

💬

Notifications & Reporting

Slack or Teams notifications on deployment success, failure or rollback. Build time tracking, test coverage reports and pipeline analytics in your CI dashboard.

📚

Documentation & Handover

Written documentation of the pipeline design, environment variables, secrets management and runbook for common failure scenarios — everything your team needs to own it.

CI/CD Tools We Work With

We recommend and build on the right tool for your existing stack — no vendor lock-in.

🐙

GitHub Actions

Native GitHub CI/CD with reusable workflows, matrix builds and OIDC-based cloud authentication. Ideal for teams already on GitHub.

🦊

GitLab CI/CD

Full GitLab pipeline with Auto DevOps support, merge request pipelines, environments and GitLab container registry integration.

🔧

Jenkins

Declarative Jenkinsfile pipelines, shared library design, agent configuration and Blue Ocean dashboard for teams on self-hosted Jenkins.

🔵

Azure DevOps Pipelines

YAML pipelines, release pipelines, service connections and integration with Azure Boards for teams in the Microsoft ecosystem.

🔄

ArgoCD / Flux (GitOps CD)

Kubernetes-native continuous delivery — Git as the source of truth for cluster state, with automated sync and rollback on drift detection.

CircleCI

Orb-based pipeline configuration, resource class optimisation and Docker layer caching for teams on CircleCI.

How We Deliver in 7 Days

A structured process that gets your pipeline live without disrupting your team.

01

Discovery (Day 1)

We audit your existing stack — language, framework, cloud target, test suite, current deployment method and any existing CI configuration. We define the pipeline scope and agree the delivery spec.

02

Pipeline Build (Days 2–4)

We write and test the pipeline configuration — CI stages, Docker build, security scanning and staging deployment. We iterate on your test suite to ensure reliable, fast test execution.

03

Production Configuration (Days 5–6)

We configure production deployment with zero-downtime strategy, health checks and automatic rollback. Secrets management and environment-specific configuration are locked down.

04

Handover & Documentation (Day 7)

We walkthrough the pipeline with your team, deliver written documentation and runbooks, and confirm the first production deployment runs cleanly end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does CI/CD pipeline setup take?

Standard pipelines are delivered in 7 business days. Complex multi-service or multi-environment pipelines may take 10–14 days. We agree the scope and timeline before starting.

Which CI/CD tools do you work with?

GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, CircleCI, Bitbucket Pipelines and Azure DevOps. For Kubernetes delivery we add ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps-based continuous deployment.

What is included in the pipeline?

A standard pipeline includes: dependency install, unit and integration tests, Docker build and push, security scanning (Snyk/Trivy), staging deployment with smoke tests and zero-downtime production deployment with automatic rollback.

Can you fix our existing broken pipeline?

Yes. If your existing CI/CD setup is slow, unreliable or partial, we audit and fix it rather than rebuilding from scratch. We stabilise flaky tests, optimise build times and add missing stages — typically in 3–5 days.

Do you work with monorepos?

Yes. We build pipelines for monorepos with path-based change detection so only affected services are rebuilt and tested on each commit — dramatically reducing build times and costs in large repositories.
