Description
What this service covers
Manual releases tend to break at the worst possible time, often when the one person who knows the steps is on leave. We build a pipeline for up to three repositories: every pull request triggers linting and tests, images are built and tagged once code is merged, staging deploys itself, and production waits for approval. Rolling back takes a single workflow run, secrets are placed in environments with limited scope, and caching keeps runs fast enough that the team relies on them.
What you receive
- Linting, unit tests and a build run automatically on every new pull request
- Images built and published to your container registry
- Automatic staging deploys, with production gated behind an approval
- One-step rollback to the previous working release
- Secrets moved into restricted environments with least-privilege access
- Caching tuned so each run finishes in under ten minutes
- Protected branches with mandatory status checks set up
The work in 4 stages
-
01
Stage 1: Current process review
We look at your current build and release routine, manual steps included.
-
02
Stage 2: Branch build
Workflows are developed and proven on a separate branch, away from production.
-
03
Stage 3: Staged switchover
Staging moves first, and production follows once a complete cycle has worked.
-
04
Stage 4: Guide and diagram
You receive a pipeline diagram and short notes on adding another service.
Who it suits, and what we need from you
Ideal for
- Teams still deploying by logging into a server and running a script
- Codebases with tests that never get run
- Businesses that must record every release and its approver
What we need from you
- Admin rights on the repositories and the credentials currently used to deploy
- A description of your current release steps, however informal
- Agreement on who approves releases to production
You share these through the brief on your order page after checkout.
What changes for your team
- Broken code is stopped at review stage, long before users see it
- Anyone on the team can release, so nobody becomes a bottleneck
- Rolling back is a normal step, not a crisis
Questions about this service
We use a different code hosting platform. Does that matter?
Our codebase has no tests. Is this still useful?
Is deployment to a container cluster included?
This is a remote service: nothing is shipped physically, and the work is delivered into systems you control. See delivery and handover and refunds and cancellation for the full terms.
