CI/CD Pipeline Setup
We design and build your CI/CD pipeline end to end — GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, self-hosted or managed runners, staged environments, and a deploy path that goes from a green pipeline to production without anyone running a manual command.
What you get
- ✓Pipeline config for GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, written into your repo (not a black box you can't edit)
- ✓Separate build, test, and deploy stages, with test failures blocking deploy
- ✓Runner setup — self-hosted for cost/control, or managed if you'd rather not administer them
- ✓One-command rollback to the last known-good deploy
- ✓Secrets handled via the platform's native secret store, never committed to the repo
- ✓A runbook explaining exactly how the pipeline works, so your team isn't dependent on us to change it
Who it's for
Teams shipping to production by hand today — SSH-and-pray deploys, or a pipeline nobody fully understands anymore.
Typical engagement
One to two weeks for a single application; longer for a multi-service estate. We work in your repos, with daily updates.
How we approach this
We start by mapping how code moves today — branch strategy, environments, and every manual step between a commit and it reaching production — before writing a single pipeline stage. The pipeline itself is built incrementally: build and test first, gated deploy second, so you're never left without a working deploy path mid-migration.
Security & reliability
Secrets live in your CI platform's native secret store — GitLab CI variables or GitHub Actions secrets — never in a Dockerfile, environment file, or commit history. Deploy credentials are scoped per environment, so a compromised staging token can't touch production.
Monitoring & incident response
Every pipeline run reports pass/fail status back to the merge request, and failed deploys trigger the same alerting channel your team already watches — we don't add a new dashboard nobody checks.

Frequently asked questions
Do you use GitLab CI or GitHub Actions?
Whichever your repo already lives on. We won't make you migrate platforms just to get CI/CD working.
What happens to our existing deploy scripts?
We read them first. Most of the time the logic they encode is correct and just needs to move into pipeline stages — we don't throw away working knowledge to start from a template.
Will this slow our team down while it's being built?
No — we build alongside your existing deploy process, not instead of it, and only cut over once the new pipeline has been proven on a real deploy.
What if we already have partial CI/CD in place?
We extend what's already correct rather than replacing it — most partial setups just need the missing stages (usually gated deploy and rollback), not a rebuild.
