DevOps & Hosting

Infrastructure That
Runs Itself.

VPS setup, Docker containerisation, automated CI/CD pipelines, and managed hosting tuned for reliability — we build the infrastructure layer so your team ships features, not tickets to a sysadmin. Every environment is version-controlled, documented, and reproducible.

What We Do

DevOps Capabilities

From your first VPS to fully automated multi-environment pipelines — we cover every layer of the infrastructure stack so your application can ship with confidence every time.

CI/CD Pipelines

Automated test-and-deploy pipelines so every merged pull request goes straight to staging — and every approved release reaches production without a manual step. Built on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Bitbucket Pipelines depending on your repository host.

  • Build, test & deploy on every push
  • Environment-specific secrets management
  • Slack / email notifications on failure

Docker & Containerisation

Dockerising your application means the same image that runs in development runs in production — eliminating "works on my machine" issues permanently. We write Dockerfiles and Compose configurations that are lean, secure, and maintainable.

  • Optimised multi-stage Dockerfile authoring
  • Docker Compose for local dev parity
  • Container registry setup (GHCR, Docker Hub)

VPS & Cloud Setup

Provisioning and hardening VPS instances on DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS EC2, or Hetzner — installed with Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Redis, and SSL, then locked down with firewall rules, SSH key authentication, and automatic security updates.

  • DigitalOcean, AWS, Linode & Hetzner
  • Nginx + PHP-FPM + MariaDB stack
  • Firewall, SSH hardening & Fail2Ban

Managed Hosting & DNS

Domain configuration, Cloudflare DNS management, SSL certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt, and email routing — the complete hosting layer set up correctly from day one, with automated renewal and zero-expiry monitoring in place.

  • Cloudflare DNS & CDN configuration
  • Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal
  • Email routing (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

Monitoring & Alerting

Uptime checks, error tracking, and log aggregation — so you know about a problem before your users report it. We configure monitoring stacks appropriate to the scale of your application, from lightweight UptimeRobot to full Sentry + Datadog setups.

  • Uptime & SSL expiry checks
  • Error tracking via Sentry or Bugsnag
  • Log aggregation & alerting thresholds

Security & Hardening

Security is configured at every layer — OS, web server, application, and network. Unattended security upgrades, rate limiting, DDoS mitigation via Cloudflare, and periodic audit tooling to catch regressions before they become incidents.

  • UFW / iptables firewall rules
  • Fail2Ban brute-force protection
  • Cloudflare WAF & DDoS mitigation
Why Us

What Sets Us Apart

Most DevOps problems are caused by configuration drift, undocumented environments, and setups only one person understands. We design against all three.

Everything Is Infrastructure as Code

We don't configure servers by hand and hope nobody breaks them. Every environment — from local Docker Compose to production VPS — is defined in version-controlled files that can be reviewed, replicated, and re-provisioned from scratch in under an hour.

Security-First by Default

Security configuration is not an afterthought or an add-on at the end. Every server we provision leaves our hands with firewall rules, SSH key auth, automated security updates, and Cloudflare protection already in place.

No Vendor Lock-In

We avoid proprietary platforms that hold your infrastructure hostage. Standard Linux, standard Docker, standard Nginx — tools your own team can support, move, and scale without needing to call us for every change. You own your infrastructure, completely.

Ongoing Ops Coverage

Servers need care after go-live — OS patches, certificate renewals, pipeline updates as dependencies change. We offer managed ops retainers so your infrastructure stays current without distracting your development team.

How We Work

From Brief to Live Infrastructure

Five stages, every engagement — so you get a fully documented, production-ready environment and know exactly how it works.

Discovery & Audit

Review of your current stack, hosting environment, deployment workflow, and any existing CI/CD setup. We identify gaps, bottlenecks, and security risks before writing a single config file.

Architecture Design

A written infrastructure plan — server specs, network topology, environment layout (local / staging / production), pipeline stages, and monitoring strategy — reviewed and approved by you before provisioning starts.

Build & Configure

Servers provisioned and hardened, Docker environments built, CI/CD pipelines written and tested, DNS records configured, SSL certificates issued. All configuration committed to a private repository you own.

Test & Go Live

Full end-to-end pipeline run, uptime monitoring confirmed active, fail-over and rollback procedure documented and tested. DNS cutover on a low-traffic window with us available until the new environment is stable.

Monitor & Support

Post-launch monitoring for 30 days. OS security patches, SSL renewals, and pipeline maintenance on an ongoing retainer when you need continued cover. Full handover documentation delivered at project close.
