DevOps Services — CI/CD, Infrastructure & Automation
Reading time: 2 minutes.
Ship Faster. Break Less. Fix Faster.
Manual deployments, inconsistent environments, and slow feedback loops are engineering tax — they don’t build product, they just slow it down. CimpleO implements DevOps practices that automate the repetitive, standardise the unpredictable, and give your team a deployment process you can trust to run at 10pm on a Friday.
CI/CD Pipeline Implementation
We design and implement continuous integration and delivery pipelines on GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins. Every commit triggers automated builds, test runs, and security scans. Deployments to staging and production become a single command — or fully automatic on merge. Rollback in under 60 seconds.
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure defined in Terraform and managed through version control — not a collection of manual steps documented in a Confluence page nobody reads. Reproducible environments from dev to production, disaster recovery that actually works, and onboarding a new developer that takes minutes, not days.
Monitoring & Observability
You can’t fix what you can’t see. We set up structured logging, distributed tracing, and metrics dashboards with Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack. Alert routing to Slack, PagerDuty, or your on-call system. Mean time to resolution drops when engineers can see exactly what broke and when.
Container Orchestration
Docker containerisation and Kubernetes orchestration for services that need to scale reliably. We design the cluster architecture, configure horizontal pod autoscaling, manage secrets, and set up namespaced environments for dev, staging, and production. Workloads on AWS EKS, GKE, or bare metal.
What a Mature DevOps Practice Gives You
- Faster releases — deploy multiple times per day instead of once per sprint
- Lower deployment risk — automated testing and staged rollouts catch problems before users do
- Consistent environments — “works on my machine” becomes a thing of the past
- Reduced toil — engineers spend time on product work, not babysitting infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a DevOps engagement with CimpleO include?
Typically: CI/CD pipeline setup (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), Docker containerisation, Kubernetes cluster configuration (EKS, GKE, or bare metal), Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, monitoring and alerting setup (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), and documentation for your team. Scope is defined in a pre-engagement assessment.
How long does it take to set up a CI/CD pipeline?
A basic pipeline for a single service (build, test, deploy to staging + production) takes 1–2 weeks. A comprehensive pipeline across multiple services with environment promotion, rollback automation, and integration test stages: 4–8 weeks. The longer timeline is usually driven by test suite maturity, not the pipeline tooling itself.
Can you work with our existing cloud provider?
Yes — AWS, Azure, and GCP. We don't have platform partnerships, so we work with whatever you're already on. If you're greenfield and choosing, we'll advise based on your team's existing skills and workload characteristics.
Do you do DevOps consulting as a one-time project, or ongoing?
Both. Many clients start with a focused engagement (pipeline setup, Kubernetes migration, or Terraform implementation) and then keep us on a part-time retainer for ongoing infrastructure work. We don't require long-term commitments upfront.
We have a DevOps backlog but no in-house expertise — can you help?
Yes. A common engagement pattern: we assess your current state, prioritise the backlog, execute the highest-value improvements, and upskill your developers alongside. By the end, your team can maintain what we've built.
