DevOps services

We make releases routine: the same checked path from a code change to your servers, every time. We start with how you deploy today and where it breaks down. Then we plan the automation and operating changes your developers can use.

A repeatable release path: from a code change to a checked deployment.

Changes you can trace: infrastructure definitions and release settings under your control.

A usable handover: instructions for releases, alerts and recovery.

What you get

At handover you have:

  • A map of the current build and deployment process, including manual steps.
  • A CI/CD (continuous integration and delivery) pipeline: every change is built, checked automatically and delivered to your servers the same way, for the application and environments in the estimate.
  • Infrastructure as code, describing servers and settings in files that can be reviewed and reapplied, where repeatable setup is needed.
  • Release checks and a recovery route for failed changes.
  • Monitoring with alerts sent to a named person or channel.
  • Operating instructions your developers try before handover.

We work with whoever maintains the application. The plan lists release work separately from code changes the application itself needs. Tool choices follow the current setup and the problem to solve.

What the cost depends on

We estimate from the release path and the environments it touches.

  • How the application is built and deployed today.
  • The differences between test and production environments.
  • Existing scripts and whether infrastructure can be recreated from them.
  • Release approvals and access restrictions.
  • Monitoring gaps and the incidents you need to detect.
  • Database changes and what recovery requires.
  • The handover and any ongoing response duties.

Cloud bills and software subscriptions come from your providers, and application feature work gets its own estimate. If the initial review finds a dependency that changes the plan, you get the revised estimate before implementation.

We answer every inquiry within one working day. The schedule depends on access to the environments and the availability of the people who maintain the application.

Your repositories and infrastructure accounts stay yours. Access is limited to the work and reviewed at handover. We document who approves releases and who responds to alerts. CyberLab answers for the result, whether the work is done by our specialists or by contractors we have worked with.

What is included and what is not

Included

  • Reviewing the release process and setting a change plan.
  • Pipeline and infrastructure changes in the estimate.
  • Running the deployment checks and the recovery steps once with your developers.
  • Configuring the monitoring and alert routes in the estimate.
  • Documentation and a handover with your developers.

Not included

  • New application features and unrelated bug fixes.
  • Cloud resources and paid monitoring tools.
  • Moving workloads to another cloud provider.
  • Round-the-clock monitoring or incident response: not part of this service.
  • Responsibility for releases after the handover, unless support is agreed as separate work.

An alert goes to the person or channel you name. Before you rely on it, we agree who responds and when.

When you need this

  • Deployments depend on one person's manual commands.
  • The test environment behaves differently from production.
  • A failed release leaves developers guessing how to recover.
  • Server settings change without a record of why.
  • Alerts arrive too late or nobody knows who should act.

How the work goes

What you have after each step

  1. Step 1. Trace a real release

    You get a map of the current process and its failure points. Your developers show the build, deployment settings and recent release problems.

  2. Step 2. Choose the changes

    You get a plan for automation, access and monitoring. You confirm environments, release approvals and the people responsible for incidents.

  3. Step 3. Implement and rehearse

    You get the pipeline and infrastructure changes in a test environment first. Where you have a test environment, we run a release and a failure scenario there with your developers first, then apply the production changes you approve.

  4. Step 4. Hand over the process

    You get configuration files, check results and operating instructions. Your developers follow the instructions themselves. We close remaining access and record any separate support duties.

How we can work together

Pick the form that fits the task. We suggest one after the first conversation.

  • Consultation or audit

    For when you want a second opinion on a plan, a system or a quote before you commit. You get a written review with recommendations and an estimate of the next step.

  • Fixed-scope project

    This works when the requirements can be written down before work starts. You get the agreed scope for the agreed price. Anything new goes through an updated estimate first.

  • Time and materials

    For when the scope will change as you learn, as with research or a new product. You pay for the time spent, and we review the plan with you as the work goes.

  • Support after launch

    Your system is already live and needs updates, fixes and monitoring. We agree a monthly arrangement and a list of what it covers.

Need developers who work on your product every month? See the dedicated development team.

Platforms and tools we work with

Docker for containers and Jenkins for build and release pipelines. Servers on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Hetzner.

We choose the platform from the task, and the list shows what we use most often.

Who this is for, and when it is too early

This is for an application that changes regularly, has people on your side responsible for its code and repeats the same risky manual steps at every release.

If one deployment setting is broken, a focused repair may be enough. A simple site with occasional edits may not need a continuing DevOps engagement. If the main issue is whether to move to Amazon Web Services (AWS), start with AWS consulting.

Working with clients in other countries

  • Contract and NDA. You sign a contract with CyberLab.Team OÜ, a company registered in Estonia, before work starts. If you need an NDA, we sign it before you share confidential data.
  • Invoices in euros. We invoice in euros from an EU company with a VAT number.
  • Languages. We work in English, Ukrainian, Russian and Polish.
  • Calls and replies. We hold calls at hours agreed with you and reply to messages within one working day.

Frequently asked questions

Starting with your developers

Who keeps control of releases?
Your team does. We define approval rights with you and build around them. Your developers review the process and try the handover instructions before the work is closed.
What should a release review look at first?
A real change moving from the repository to production. That reveals manual steps, missing checks and dependencies that a diagram alone may hide.
Can we improve deployment without changing cloud providers?
Yes. A provider move is a separate decision. The first round can focus on the build, release checks and environment settings you already use.

Automation and access

What does CI/CD cover in this service?
The build, automated checks and delivery path in your estimate. Deployment can run automatically or wait for a person to approve it.
When does infrastructure as code help?
When you need to recreate environments or review infrastructure changes before applying them. We first check the existing resources and bring them under the new definition without recreating them.
How do you handle credentials in release automation?
We define which job needs which permission and use the credential controls available in the chosen setup. Secrets stay out of the source code and handover documents.

Failed releases and alerts

What happens if a deployment fails halfway?
The release plan defines when to stop and how to recover. We test the relevant failure path rather than assuming that running the previous release will always restore service.
Can a database change always be rolled back?
No. Some changes need a forward fix or a data restore. We examine the application's migration process and document a recovery route before the production release.
Who receives monitoring alerts?
A person or channel you name. The handover describes what each alert means and who acts on it. Ongoing response coverage is not part of this service.

Handover and support

How do we know the release process is usable?
Your developers run a release using the instructions, with the checks and permissions intended for everyday use. Any gaps go back into the work before handover.
Does the setup include round-the-clock incident response?
Not as part of this service. Alerts go to the people you name, and the handover says who responds and when.
Can we begin with one application?
Yes. A single application can improve that application's release path first. Other applications or environments get their own review before the same approach is extended to them.
