Who it’s for
Teams whose deploys are slow, flaky, or scary. The symptom is usually social before it is technical: one person is trusted to release, releases cluster right before the weekend, and nobody wants to be the one who ships ahead of a long one.
That is not a discipline problem. It is a system that makes the safe thing expensive.
What’s included
| pipelines | Hardened GitHub Actions — pinned actions, least-privilege tokens, reproducible runners |
|---|---|
| infrastructure | Terraform for everything that exists. No ClickOps, no console drift |
| environments | Ephemeral previews per pull request, torn down on merge |
| secrets | Managed, rotated, and never resident in a pipeline log |
| deploys | Audit-trailed end to end: who, what, when, from which commit |
| safety | Rollback path and an observability baseline that exists before you need it |
The outcome
Safe deploys in under fifteen minutes. Any developer on the team can ship, including the one who joined last month.
And a bonus you will want later: because a machine now does every step, the machine can also keep the receipts. Each deploy records who approved it, what changed, and which security checks it passed. When an auditor or an enterprise customer asks for proof, it already exists — you don’t have to reconstruct it. That record is what the Compliance Retainer builds on.
Built once, runs anywhere
Everything we build is defined in code (Terraform), so the same setup runs the same way on commercial cloud, on government cloud, or on servers with no internet connection at all.
That matters because every separate environment with its own hand-built process is one more thing to audit. One process for all of them means one audit story, from a startup’s first SOC 2 up to Department of Defense Impact Level 5.
What it costs, and how it starts
| 1. fit check | Free, 30 minutes. A short demo of real work, then your setup and your deadline. You leave knowing whether this is the right next step |
|---|---|
| 2. infra review | $1,500 fixed fee, one week. A map of what you have today and a scoping document for what it takes. You keep it whether or not you hire us |
| 3. foundation | Starts at $18,000, typically $18,000–$35,000, quoted against the review — not a guess |

Ten minutes of us showing you something real we built or fixed. Twenty minutes on your pipeline and your compliance deadline — and a straight answer on what you need, including when the answer is nothing from us.
