Secure Deployment & DevOps

Building the product is half the job. This is the other half — repeatable releases with security checks that run before anything ships, not after something breaks.

Scope

What is included

The pipeline that gets it to production safely, every time. Everything below is part of the engagement unless we agree to cut it.

Docker imagesMinimal base images, running as a non-root user, identical from laptop to production.
CI pipelineEvery commit linted, tested and scanned for known vulnerabilities before it can merge.
CD pipelineA passing build deploys itself, with a rolling update and automatic rollback on failed health checks.
KubernetesHealth checks, resource limits, autoscaling and zero-downtime rollouts — when your scale justifies it.
Hardened AWSLeast-privilege IAM, private subnets, TLS everywhere, encryption at rest.
Secrets managementHeld in a secrets manager and injected at runtime, never committed to the repository.
ObservabilityLogs, metrics, alarms and tested backups, so problems are noticed before customers report them.

How we work

The workflow, step by step

7 stages from first conversation to running system. Each one ends with something you can see and sign off, so progress is never a matter of trust.

  1. 01

    Audit the current release

    How does code reach production today, who can do it, how long does it take and what breaks?

    You get: Current release map and risk list
  2. 02

    Containerise

    The application packaged into a minimal, non-root image that runs the same everywhere.

    You get: Docker image + local parity
  3. 03

    Build the CI pipeline

    Lint, unit tests, integration tests, dependency scan and image scan — all blocking on failure.

    You get: Green pipeline on every commit
  4. 04

    Add the security gates

    Secret scanning, SAST, CVE thresholds and signed images. A failing gate stops the release.

    You get: Gates enforced, exceptions documented
  5. 05

    Automate deployment

    Rolling updates with health checks and an automatic rollback, plus a one-click manual rollback.

    You get: Push-button deploys
  6. 06

    Harden the infrastructure

    IAM tightened, network locked down, secrets moved into a manager, encryption verified.

    You get: Hardening checklist signed off
  7. 07

    Observe and rehearse

    Dashboards and alarms wired up, then we rehearse a rollback and a restore so both are known to work.

    You get: Runbook + rehearsed recovery
Questions

Before you ask

Do we need Kubernetes?

Often not. It is real overhead below a certain scale, and we will tell you when a simpler container platform is the better answer. The pipeline and the security gates matter far more than the orchestrator.

Can you add this to an existing project?

Yes — this is most often retrofitted. We start with containerisation and CI, which give the biggest immediate benefit.

What does "secure" mean here concretely?

Scanning that blocks vulnerable dependencies and images, secrets kept out of the repository, least-privilege access, encryption in transit and at rest, and a rollback we have actually tested.
