DevOps & Infrastructure

What a team needs is not a job title but a repeatable deployment process. In small teams the biggest time sink is manual deploys and differences between environments. An automated build, test and deploy pipeline pays for itself from the first month.

Yes. Before migrating we map the current load and dependencies and plan the steps that require downtime. Migrations are usually staged, and we do not start one without a rollback plan.

Most environments carry unused resources, wrongly sized instances and forgotten test environments. We start by making it visible where the spend actually goes, then reduce it through right-sizing, scaling policies and commitment options.

Not every team does. For a team running a handful of services, managed container services carry far less operational overhead. Kubernetes starts to pay off as the number of services, teams and deployments grows.

Monitoring and alerting exist to catch problems before your users report them. For critical systems we define a support plan with on-call cover and a response time, and share a root cause analysis after the incident.
