Make delivery repeatable
Create a controlled path from source code to a running service, including the application changes needed to support it.
- Docker and environments
- GitLab CI/CD
- Database migrations
- Release and rollback paths
Deployments your team can repeat.
I work on deployment pipelines, AWS infrastructure, monitoring, and recovery for production applications.
We start with your current setup and agree on the changes, ownership, and ongoing support.
AWS services and deployment pipelines
I have worked on container pipelines, Terraform infrastructure, database migrations, workers, queues, scaling, and production monitoring.
- Delivery
- GitLab CI/CD · Docker
- Infrastructure
- Terraform · AWS
- Runtime
- ECS · Lambda · SQS
- Visibility
- CloudWatch · run diagnostics
Problems I help solve
Repeatable deployment
Replace manual or person-dependent releases with a visible delivery path across environments.
Production visibility
Add logs, metrics, alerts, and run information that help the team see and diagnose real failures.
Backup and recovery boundaries
Make data protection, restoration, ownership, and response expectations explicit before an incident.
Cloud reliability and cost review
Inspect an existing AWS or container setup for avoidable risk, unclear ownership, and unnecessary operating cost.
What the work covers
Make production visible
Connect the signals that matter to the people who must understand and act on them.
- Logs and metrics
- Health and queue monitoring
- Alerts and runbooks
- Backup verification
Keep the boundary clear
Document ownership, access, change procedures, support, and operating costs.
- Infrastructure as code
- Access and secrets review
- Cost-aware architecture
- Handover or care plan
How the work starts
Review your current setup
I review the application, environments, deployments, failure modes, and access. We identify the operating problems to address first.
Result: Prioritised deployment and reliability plan
Improve deployment and recovery
I make the agreed changes to deployment, monitoring, and recovery.
Result: Deployment, monitoring, and recovery improvements
Maintain the platform
I provide the agreed maintenance, reviews, and improvements during business hours, with clear responsibilities and response expectations.
Result: Ongoing platform maintenance
Is this a fit?
A good fit
- A production application already exists or is close to launch.
- Deployment, visibility, recovery, or cloud ownership is slowing the team.
- The required support boundary can be defined clearly.
Outside this service
- Unrestricted 24/7 incident response from a single-person studio.
- A compliance certification engagement that requires an accredited auditor.
- Infrastructure expansion with no identified product or reliability outcome.
Questions before we start
Do you provide 24/7 support?
I do not offer unrestricted 24/7 on-call support. We agree on business hours, response expectations, responsibilities, and escalation before ongoing work begins.
Can you work with our existing AWS setup?
Yes. The review starts from the running architecture, accounts, deployment process, application constraints, and existing infrastructure code before proposing changes.
Will this require a full platform rebuild?
Usually not. The preferred approach is to address the highest-value delivery and reliability gaps first, then replace components only when the current design cannot support the required outcome.
What does ongoing care include?
It can include agreed maintenance, deployment support, monitoring review, backup checks, incident follow-up, cost review, and incremental reliability improvements. The exact boundary is written into the engagement.
