Cloud Setup and CI/CD
Deploys that are boring: push, build, test, ship - with a way back.
You want deploys that are boring. I set up cloud infrastructure and pipelines so releasing is not a held breath - right-sized for your team, not a Kubernetes cluster you cannot maintain.
Who this is for
Teams shipping from laptops or manual FTP who need staging, production, secrets, and repeatable deploys without hiring a platform team.
Sound familiar?
- Only one person knows how to deploy - and they are on vacation next week.
- Staging does not match production, so bugs show up late.
- Someone proposed EKS for a app with twelve daily users.
What you get
- CI/CD that builds, tests, and deploys on every merge you choose.
- Staging and production environments that match.
- Infrastructure your team can operate after handoff.
Deliverables
- AWS, Docker, Kubernetes / EKS where scale justifies it
- CI/CD pipelines (build, test, deploy, rollback)
- Environment setup (staging, production, secrets handling)
- Database hosting and backups (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- Runbooks sized to your team's skill level
How I work
- Right-size: simplest stack that meets uptime and scale needs.
- Automate deploy first; optimize cost second.
- Document the happy path and the "rollback now" path equally.
