DevOps Services .
iSkylar implements DevOps across engineering teams that are ready to stop doing deployments manually, stop firefighting production incidents, and start shipping reliably. We build CI/CD pipelines, containerise applications, provision infrastructure as code, and instrument everything, so your team spends time on product work, not operational overhead.
What We Build
CI/CD Pipeline Implementation
We design and build continuous integration and delivery pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins — from commit to production with automated testing, security scanning, and environment promotion gates that match your release process.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
We codify your cloud infrastructure in Terraform or Pulumi — reproducible, version-controlled environments that can be provisioned in minutes, reviewed in pull requests, and destroyed without drama.
Containerisation & Kubernetes
We containerise your applications with Docker and orchestrate them on Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed) — with Helm charts, resource management, and horizontal autoscaling configured for real production workloads.
Monitoring, Logging & Alerting
We instrument your applications and infrastructure with Prometheus, Grafana, the ELK stack, or Datadog — giving your team visibility into what is happening in production before your users tell you something is wrong.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
We establish SLOs, error budgets, and on-call runbooks — and help your team build the operational culture that turns reactive firefighting into proactive reliability management.
DevOps Audit & Roadmap
We assess your current deployment practices, tooling, and incident response processes — and deliver a prioritised roadmap of improvements with effort estimates and expected impact for each initiative.
Delivered faster with AI tooling
We don't just write code; we orchestrate intelligence. By integrating Copilot-assisted generation and AI-driven automated testing, we reduce time-to-market by up to 40%.
LLM-backed development to eliminate boilerplate delays.
Anticipating edge cases before they enter production.
The iSkylar Tech Stack
Our Development Journey
A streamlined, transparent path from vision to launch.
DevOps Audit & Discovery
1–2 weeks
We assess your current CI/CD maturity, deployment frequency, incident response process, and infrastructure state — and produce a prioritised improvement roadmap before any tooling work begins.
Pipeline Design & IaC Setup
2–4 weeks
CI/CD pipeline architecture designed and implemented, infrastructure codified in Terraform, environments (dev, staging, production) provisioned and consistent, and secrets management configured.
Containerisation & Orchestration
2–6 weeks
Applications containerised with Docker, Kubernetes cluster provisioned (or existing cluster configured), Helm charts written, and resource requests and limits tuned for your actual workloads.
Monitoring & Observability
1–3 weeks
Application and infrastructure metrics, logs, and traces wired into your chosen observability stack — with dashboards, alert rules, and on-call runbooks live before any other work goes to production.
Testing Integration
1–2 weeks
Automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests wired into the pipeline with coverage gates, security scanning (SAST, dependency audit), and quality checks that block bad releases automatically.
Handover & Team Enablement
1 week
Pipeline documentation written, runbooks completed, your team trained on every system we have built, and a 30-day post-handover support window to catch anything that needs adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a DevOps transformation actually involve?+
It means replacing manual, error-prone deployment and infrastructure processes with automated, version-controlled, and observable systems. Practically: CI/CD pipelines that test and deploy on every commit, infrastructure defined in code, applications running in containers, and monitoring that tells your team what is broken before users do.
How long does DevOps implementation take?+
A focused pipeline implementation is typically 4–8 weeks. A full transformation covering CI/CD, IaC, Kubernetes, and observability runs 10–16 weeks. We start with an audit to scope accurately.
What does DevOps development cost?+
Audits start from $3,500. Full transformation engagements from $15,000. Retainers are priced based on team size and infrastructure scope. Fixed-scope quote after the audit phase.
Do you work with AWS, GCP, and Azure?+
Yes. We are cloud-agnostic — we implement the same practices and tooling (Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions) across all three major providers. We advise on cloud choice only when you do not have a strong existing preference.
What if our team does not know how to use the tools after you leave?+
Knowledge transfer is built into every engagement. We write runbook documentation as we build, train your team on every system before handover, and include a 30-day post-handover support window. We also offer retainer arrangements for teams that want ongoing DevOps engineering support.
How do you measure the success of a DevOps engagement?+
We track DORA metrics — deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery — before and after the engagement. These are the industry-standard measures of DevOps maturity.
Can you improve our existing CI/CD without rebuilding everything?+
Yes. We start with an audit, identify the highest-impact improvements, and implement them incrementally. We never recommend a full rebuild when targeted improvements will get you 80% of the value.
Do you provide on-call support after the engagement?+
Yes, on retainer engagements. We define response SLAs at contract stage and integrate with your existing on-call tooling (PagerDuty, Opsgenie) or implement it if you do not have one.
