DevOps consulting for teams that ship code
We set up Azure DevOps or GitHub properly, build the pipelines that test and deploy your code and control who can reach it. It suits businesses with their own or contract developers that want routine releases and code that stays in their hands.

Signs your code needs better handling
Most small development teams do not need a DevOps department. They need a few habits and tools set up properly.
Code lives in a contractor's personal account
The repository sits under a login you do not control. If the relationship ends, getting your code back becomes a negotiation.
FixAn Azure DevOps or GitHub organisation owned by your business, with contractors added as members and removed when the work ends.
Releases are manual and nervous
Someone copies files to a server late on a Friday and hopes nothing breaks. Nobody can say exactly what changed.
FixCI/CD pipelines that build, test and deploy the same way every time, with an approval before production.
Passwords and keys sit in the code
Connection strings and API keys are saved in scripts and config files, visible to anyone who can read the repository.
FixSecrets moved into a managed vault such as Azure Key Vault. Scanning flags any that are added later.
Leavers still have access
Former staff and contractors keep accounts on the code platform long after they have gone.
FixSign in through Microsoft Entra ID with MFA, so disabling someone's account removes their access to your code as well.

The foundations of routine releases
We work with the platform you already use where it makes sense. If you have neither, we help you choose.
Azure DevOps or GitHub
An organisation in your business's name, with projects, repositories and permissions that match your teams.
CI/CD pipelines
Continuous integration and delivery that builds and tests every change, then deploys it the same way each time.
Automated testing
Tests that run on every change, so problems show up before release rather than after a customer finds them.
Infrastructure as code
Azure resources defined in code and deployed by pipeline, so every environment is built the same way.
Branch rules and code review
Protected main branches, required reviews and a clear record of who approved each change.
Pipelines for integrations
Integration code, scripts and automation changes tested and deployed through the same pipelines as your apps.
How we measure delivery
DORA defines five software delivery metrics. We use them to show whether your releases are getting faster and safer.
| Metric | What it measures | What improves it |
|---|---|---|
| Change lead time | The time from a change being committed to version control to running in production | Smaller changes with automated builds and tests |
| Deployment frequency | How often you deploy or the time between deployments | Pipelines that make each release routine |
| Change fail rate | The share of deployments that need immediate intervention afterwards | Automated tests and review before production |
| Failed deployment recovery time | How long it takes to recover from a deployment that fails | Repeatable deployments and a tested way to roll back |
| Deployment rework rate | The share of deployments that are unplanned and happen because of an incident in production | Fewer production incidents through testing and monitoring |
Metric names and definitions from DORA at September 2026. We report the ones your platform can measure.
From health check to routine releases
We start with one repository, prove the approach with your developers, then roll it out to the rest.
- 01
DevOps health check
We review your repositories, access, MFA, secrets, branch rules and how code reaches production.
- 02
Plan and fixed quote
You get the findings in order of risk, a plan and a fixed quote to fix them.
- 03
Build pipelines and controls
We set up pipelines, sign in and branch rules on one repository first, working alongside your developers.
- 04
Hand over and look after
Documentation for your team, then ongoing administration of accounts, pipelines and access if you want it.
DevOps in the bigger picture
Pipelines are one part of running software well. These services cover the rest.

Azure DevOps or GitHub: which suits us?
Both are Microsoft products and both handle code, pipelines and reviews well. Azure DevOps suits teams that want planning boards, repositories and pipelines in one place. GitHub suits teams that want a large range of developer tools and integrations. If you already use one, we usually improve it rather than move you.
What does it cost to set up pipelines?
It depends on how many repositories and environments you have. The health check ends with a fixed quote for the work. Ongoing administration is quoted separately if you want us to look after it.
Who owns our code and accounts?
You do. We set up the organisation in your business's name, with your people as owners and contractors as members who can be removed. Access runs through your own Microsoft Entra ID, so it follows your joiner and leaver process.
How do you measure whether it is working?
We use DORA's software delivery metrics, such as change lead time, deployment frequency and change fail rate. We report them so you can see whether releases are getting faster and safer.
Will this slow our developers down or disrupt releases?
It should do the opposite once it is running. We start with one repository, agree the rules with your developers and change one thing at a time, so releases keep going while the new setup beds in.
We use a contractor or have one developer. Where do you fit?
That is a common setup for smaller businesses. Your developer writes the code. We make sure your business owns it, access is controlled and releases follow a repeatable process.
Own your code,
then ship it calmly.
