# DevOps Consulting Services CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and deployment automation — so your team ships faster with fewer incidents. ## What DevOps services does Code and Trust provide? Code and Trust provides full DevOps implementation: CI/CD pipeline design and build, cloud infrastructure setup on AWS and Google Cloud, Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, automated testing gates, infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, and monitoring with alerting. Clients typically reduce deployment time from hours to under 8 minutes and eliminate manual release processes within 6 weeks. ## Who needs DevOps modernization? The clearest signal is time: if your engineering team is spending more than 2 hours per week on deployment-related tasks, or if a single deployment requires more than two people, your process is costing you more than automation would. Manual releases are also the single largest source of production incidents. - Engineering teams deploying manually via FTP, SSH, or a deployment checklist - Startups that outgrew their original Heroku or shared-hosting setup - Companies with no automated testing or staging environments - Teams spending more than 2 hours per week on deployment-related tasks ## What does a Code and Trust DevOps engagement include? A SaaS client eliminated a 4-hour manual weekly release process and replaced it with automated CI/CD. The first automated deploy ran in 7 minutes. Zero deployment-related incidents occurred in the 6 months following implementation. The same scope covered containerization, staging/production parity, and monitoring. - CI/CD pipeline design and build (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab CI) - Docker containerization of existing applications - Kubernetes cluster setup and management - Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform - Cloud infrastructure on AWS (ECS, RDS, CloudFront, S3) and Google Cloud - Monitoring and alerting with Datadog, Grafana, and CloudWatch - Zero-downtime deployment strategies (blue/green, canary) - Database migration automation as part of the release pipeline ## DevOps technologies we implement GitHub Actions is our default CI/CD platform — it's free for most projects, deeply integrated with pull requests, and sufficient for 90% of pipelines. For larger Kubernetes deployments we use Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and Datadog or Grafana for observability, ensuring every deployment is auditable and every anomaly is detected before users notice. - GitHub Actions - Docker - Kubernetes - Terraform - AWS (ECS, EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route53) - Google Cloud (GKE, Cloud SQL, Cloud Run) - Vercel - Neon - Datadog - Grafana ## Frequently asked questions The most common questions before a DevOps engagement: how long pipeline setup takes, whether we can improve what already exists without starting over, how we approach environment parity, security hardening, and what happens after the initial 90-day support window ends. ### How long does setting up a CI/CD pipeline take? A well-designed pipeline for a typical web app (build, test, staging deploy, production deploy with manual approval) takes 2–3 weeks to implement correctly. This includes test suite integration, environment variables management, and rollback procedures. ### Do you work with our existing cloud setup? Yes. We audit what you have, document it in Terraform (infrastructure-as-code) if it's not already, then improve it. We don't require you to start over. ### Can you set up staging and production environments that match? Yes — environment parity is a core practice. Staging should be identical to production in architecture; only data and secrets differ. ### Do you handle security hardening? Yes. Every infrastructure setup includes: least-privilege IAM roles, secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager or similar), network isolation (VPCs, security groups), and automated vulnerability scanning on Docker images. ### What's included in post-setup support? 90 days of pipeline maintenance, on-call response for deployment failures, monitoring threshold adjustments as your traffic grows, and documentation for your team. ## Ready to automate your releases? We start with an infrastructure audit to identify exactly what's slowing your team down — no commitment to continue.
