Development
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
A focused release fix or a wider DevOps setup?
| Option | When it fits | What to settle first |
|---|---|---|
| A focused release fix | One known step prevents an otherwise usable process from working | The cause, the affected environment and how to verify the repair |
| A wider DevOps setup | Releases and infrastructure changes repeatedly depend on manual work | The release path, recovery needs and who will operate the setup |
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.
