Deploy, monitor and keep it running
CI, deployment, backups and monitoring, so a release is routine and not an event.
What you get
- A pipeline that builds, checks and deploys on every merge.
- Staging and production kept separate, with secrets stored outside the code.
- Backups that have been restored at least once in a test.
- Monitoring and alerts that reach a person.
- A short runbook for the things that go wrong.
Who it is for
- Teams that deploy by hand and are afraid of it.
- Products moving from a prototype host to a server they control.
- Owners who need a clear answer to what happens if the server dies.
How it works
- InventoryWhat runs where, who has access, and what is not backed up.
- PipelineAutomated build, tests and deploy, with a way to roll back.
- Safety netsBackups, a restore test, uptime checks and error alerts.
- DocumentA runbook and a walkthrough with your team.
A small first step
A short infrastructure review with a prioritised list of gaps. No changes are made until you approve them.

Questions
Where does it run?
Managed hosting for sites, and a server of your own for apps that need one. Either way the accounts are yours.
Can every change be tested and deployed automatically?
Yes. Automatic build, test and deploy on every change is the default.
Who owns the servers and accounts?
You. I get the access I need, and it can be removed at any time.
Do you provide on-call support?
Not as a standing service. Alerts can reach your team, and I can be retained for fixes.
Can you move us between hosts?
Yes. The plan covers how to cut over and how to go back.
