# DevOps & SRE consulting

> Most delivery problems are not tooling problems. Releases need a hero, alerts page for nothing, and nobody is sure staging matches production. We fix the pipeline, the infrastructure and the on-call practice together, so shipping becomes routine and outages become rare.

Covers: DevOps implementation, Site Reliability Engineering, CI/CD pipeline automation, GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, Monitoring & incident management.

## What the practice covers

- **DevOps implementation**: We remove the manual steps between a laptop and production, and make the fast path the safe one.
- **Site Reliability Engineering**: Service-level objectives and error budgets sized for your team, not for Google's.
- **CI/CD pipeline automation**: Build, test and deploy on every merge, with a rollback that takes one command.
- **GitOps**: Git as the single record of what runs where: every change reviewed, versioned and reversible.
- **Infrastructure as Code**: Environments defined and reviewed as code, so staging finally matches production.
- **Monitoring & incident management**: Alerts tied to what users experience, and blameless reviews that make fixes stick.

## How we run a DevOps engagement.

We measure where you are first, so the improvement is a number rather than an impression.

1. **Delivery assessment**: We trace your path to production and baseline deploy frequency, lead time, change failure rate and time to recover.
2. **Pipeline & platform**: We rank the changes by how much delivery pain each removes, then build CI/CD, infrastructure as code and observability alongside your team.
3. **On-call & incident practice**: Service-level objectives, alert routing, runbooks and a review process your engineers will actually use.
4. **Operate & improve**: We re-measure against the baseline, then stay on for support or hand over cleanly.

## Boring releases. Quiet pagers.

Reliability is mostly habit. We build the pipeline and the tooling, but the lasting change is a team that ships small, ships often, and knows what to do when something breaks.

- **Measured, not asserted**: The four delivery metrics are baselined at the start and reported against at the end.
- **Fitted to your size**: Practice scaled to a ten-person team or a two-hundred-person one, with no ceremony you do not need.
- **Alerts worth waking for**: Every page tied to user impact and a runbook, so on-call stops being a tax.
- **Security in the pipeline**: Dependency, secret and image scanning on every build, not in a quarterly audit.
- **Your team runs it after**: We pair with your engineers throughout, so the practice outlives the engagement.

## Questions and answers

### What does the DevOps & SRE practice do?

We fix the pipeline, the infrastructure and the on-call practice together: CI/CD automation, GitOps, infrastructure as code, service-level objectives, and monitoring and incident management.

### How do you measure whether delivery has improved?

We baseline four delivery metrics at the start (deploy frequency, lead time, change failure rate and time to recover) and report against them at the end.

### Is SRE only for large engineering teams?

No. The practice is scaled to your size, whether a ten-person team or a two-hundred-person one, with service-level objectives and error budgets sized for your team and no ceremony you do not need.

### Is security part of the pipeline?

Yes. Dependency, secret and image scanning run on every build, not in a quarterly audit.

### Do you stay on after the engagement?

Either. We pair with your engineers throughout so your team can run it afterwards, then stay on for support or hand over cleanly.
