Fix your engineering
bottlenecks fast.
Deployments are slow, pipelines break, infrastructure is a black box. We come in, assess what’s broken, and fix it with senior DevOps engineers who’ve seen these problems before at dozens of startups.
What DevOps consulting looks like with us
We don’t write strategy decks. We come in as engineers, run a focused audit of your stack, and deliver a prioritised list of what to fix then either hand it off to your team or implement it ourselves.
DevOps audit
We review your CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, deployment process, and monitoring. You get a clear picture of what’s working and what’s not.
Pipeline modernisation
From broken Jenkins jobs to fast, reliable GitHub Actions pipelines. We migrate and modernise your CI/CD without stopping your team.
Cloud cost optimisation
We audit your AWS/GCP/Azure spend, identify waste, and implement right-sizing, reserved instances, and architecture changes that cut your bill.
Security hardening
IAM, secrets management, network policies, container scanning. We baseline your security posture and close the obvious gaps.
Platform engineering
Internal developer platforms, self-service infrastructure, golden paths. We help your team deploy faster without depending on a DevOps bottleneck.
Migration projects
Monolith to microservices, VM to Kubernetes, on-prem to cloud. We plan and execute migrations that don’t end in a 3am rollback.
Startups that know their infrastructure is a mess but don’t know where to start. Engineering leaders who need an outside opinion before making a big infrastructure decision. Companies that want to move faster and need someone to clear the bottlenecks.
How we work
What Good DevOps Consulting Looks Like in Practice
DevOps consulting is only useful if it results in measurable change. We don’t deliver strategy decks. Every DevOps consulting engagement we run ends with working pipelines, documented runbooks, and engineers who know how to operate and extend what we built.
A typical DevOps consulting engagement starts with a two-week audit of your current CI/CD setup, infrastructure code, deployment process, and incident patterns. We identify the three or four highest-impact improvements, agree on a delivery plan, and execute usually within 4-8 weeks depending on scope.
The most common things we fix through DevOps consulting: slow build pipelines reduced from 30 minutes to under 10, manual deployment steps that introduce risk, cloud infrastructure with no IaC and uncontrolled costs, and monitoring setups that alert on everything and catch nothing useful.
When Startups Should Hire a DevOps Consulting Partner
DevOps consulting makes sense when your team is growing faster than your infrastructure practices. Signs you need it: deployments happen less than once a week, your cloud bill is growing faster than your team, incidents take more than an hour to resolve, or your engineers are spending more time on ops than on product features.
Series A and Series B startups are the most common entry point for DevOps consulting. You’ve validated the product, you’re scaling the team, and now the gaps in your infrastructure are starting to hurt velocity. A focused DevOps consulting engagement pays for itself in weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a DevOps consulting engagement typically last?
Most DevOps consulting projects run between 4 and 12 weeks. Shorter engagements focus on a single area like pipeline modernisation or Kubernetes migration. Longer ones cover the full platform: IaC, CI/CD, observability, and on-call setup.
Do you work with our existing team or replace them?
Our DevOps consulting is always collaborative. We work alongside your engineers, transferring knowledge throughout the engagement so your team owns the outcome. We aim to leave your team more capable than we found it.
What’s your typical DevOps consulting stack?
Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for pipelines, Kubernetes for container orchestration, Prometheus and Grafana for observability, and ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps delivery. We work with your existing tooling where possible and introduce new tools only when they solve a specific, justified problem.
For a reference on infrastructure-as-code best practices, HashiCorp’s Terraform documentation is the authoritative starting point for any DevOps consulting engagement.
