Hire DevOps Engineers — CimpleO
Reading time: 2 minutes.
DevOps Engineering
DevOps is how modern engineering teams ship reliably and frequently. It’s not a role description — it’s a set of practices that automate the repetitive, standardise the unpredictable, and remove the bottlenecks between writing code and running it in production.
CimpleO implements DevOps practices for product teams that need to move faster without breaking things. We work with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform — the tools that give you a deployment process you can trust at any hour.
What We Implement
Continuous Integration Every commit triggers automated builds, tests, and static analysis. Bugs are caught in the pipeline, not in production. Developers get fast feedback — under 5 minutes for a typical pipeline — so they can fix issues while context is fresh.
Continuous Delivery Every successful build produces a deployment-ready artefact. The path to production is a single command or an automatic trigger on merge. Staging always reflects a tested, deployable state.
Containerisation & Microservices Docker for consistent environments from dev to production. Kubernetes for workloads that need to scale horizontally, recover automatically from failures, and deploy without downtime. We’ve containerised monoliths, microservice architectures, and everything in between.
Monitoring & Logging You can’t fix what you can’t see. We instrument your services with Prometheus metrics, structured logging with Grafana/Loki or ELK, and distributed tracing. Alerts that fire when something actually needs attention — not noise.
Infrastructure as Code Terraform for cloud infrastructure: VPCs, subnets, security groups, compute, databases, CDN — all version-controlled. Infrastructure is reproducible, reviewable, and auditable. New environments provision in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DevOps and what does a DevOps engineer do?
DevOps engineers bridge development and operations — they build the automated pipelines that take code from a developer's commit to running in production reliably. In practice: CI/CD pipelines, containerisation with Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, and monitoring that tells you when something breaks before users notice.
What CI/CD tools do you use?
GitLab CI is our primary tool — we use it on our own infrastructure and have extensive experience with its pipeline YAML, runners, and registry. We also work with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and CircleCI depending on client stack. For GitOps-style deployments: ArgoCD and Flux.
Do you work with Docker and Kubernetes?
Yes. Docker containerisation and Kubernetes orchestration are core to most of our DevOps engagements. We design Kubernetes clusters on EKS, GKE, or AKS — with autoscaling, namespaced environments, and GitOps-managed deployments. For simpler needs, Docker Compose or Docker Swarm.
What does 'infrastructure as code' mean in practice?
Your servers, networks, and cloud services defined in Terraform files stored in git — the same way your application code is stored. Every infrastructure change is a pull request, reviewed and applied automatically. You get a full history of what changed, when, and why. Disaster recovery means running `terraform apply`, not rebuilding from memory.
