Services
DevOps consulting services
CI/CD automation, infrastructure as code, observability and release engineering. Shorter lead times, fewer failed deployments, and releases that stop being a source of stress.
In short
Stralya's DevOps consulting practice covers CI/CD pipelines, release engineering, infrastructure as code, observability and orchestration. Engineers, not slide-writers, build the pipelines with your team so you ship faster, deploy with fewer failures and keep everything they built after they leave.
2/wk → 15/day
Deployment frequency
A fintech scale-up, in six weeks, with an on-call rotation that stopped being a punishment.
4 weeks
Focused CI/CD project
Value delivered in four weeks. A full transformation covers IaC, observability and orchestration in 3 to 6 months.
30 days
Post-handover support
Documentation, internal training and DORA metrics confirming that the improvement holds.
DevOps services
Our DevOps consulting services
Each service has its own page with the method, the deliverables and the guides that support it.
CI/CD pipelines
Every commit turned into a verified, deployable artifact: version-controlled pipelines, deterministic builds, parallel tests, security gates, and DORA metrics your leadership actually cares about.
Release engineering
Blue-green, canary and progressive delivery. Feature flags so incomplete work ships safely, rollback baked in from day one. Deployments frequent, reversible and boring.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi or CloudFormation, chosen for what your team can maintain. Every environment version-controlled, peer-reviewed and applied through pipelines, with policy-as-code guardrails.
Observability
Metrics, logs and traces with Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry. SLOs tied to user impact, dashboards engineers actually read, and alerts connected to runbooks instead of 3am guesswork.
Container orchestration
Kubernetes or simpler schedulers matched to your scale: namespaces, quotas, network policies, secrets with Vault, and promotion workflows that move artifacts across environments without rebuilds.
When to call us
Signs you need a DevOps consultant
- 01
Releases are a source of stress
Deployments are rare, long and need a war room, so teams batch changes and the risk of each release keeps growing.
- 02
Environments drift and nobody knows why
Manual changes and snowflake servers make every incident harder to reproduce and every audit longer.
- 03
Alerts are noise and outages are surprises
Without SLOs tied to user impact, teams learn about problems from their customers instead of their dashboards.
- 04
Pipelines are owned by one person
A black-box pipeline is a risk. We build them with your team so the knowledge stays inside the company.
How it works
Structured process value from week one
PHASE 01
Discovery & assessment
Pipeline diagnostics, engineer interviews, tooling audit and baseline DORA metrics. The output: a written maturity assessment with prioritized recommendations, so you know what to fix first and why.
PHASE 02
Pilot & quick wins
One or two high-impact fixes in parallel with the assessment, like parallelizing a slow test suite or repairing a flaky deployment script. Value proven early, momentum built with the team.
PHASE 03
Implementation
Sprints alongside your engineers, pairing as the default. No black-box pipelines: we build them with your team so they own the result, documented and shipped through the pipelines we improve.
PHASE 04
Handover & enablement
Documentation, internal training and a 30-day support window. Post-engagement DORA metrics confirm the improvement holds, with a roadmap your team continues independently.
Why us
Engineers not slide-writers
Tooling without dogma
What your team can maintain
Production experience across Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform, Pulumi and Kubernetes. We recommend what fits your context, not what is fashionable.
Measurable outcomes
DORA metrics from day one
Deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate and time to recovery, tracked throughout. Impact visible to leadership, not just felt by engineers.
Culture, not just tooling
Practices that stick
Trunk-based development, feature flags, blameless postmortems. Your engineers leave with better pipelines and a stronger delivery culture that outlasts the Terraform modules.
Pricing
How DevOps consulting engagements are priced
Scoped against your goals, not a fixed template. Durations below are typical, not promised.
| Format | Typical scope | Duration | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focused CI/CD project | Pipeline rebuild with security gates, parallel tests and DORA metrics | 4 weeks | Fixed quote after diagnosis |
| Typical engagement | Assessment, pilot and quick wins, implementation, handover | 6 to 12 weeks | Fixed quote after diagnosis |
| Full DevOps transformation | CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability and orchestration | 3 to 6 months | Fixed quote after diagnosis |
| Enablement support | Documentation, training and a support window after handover | 30 days | Fixed quote after diagnosis |
What changes the price: number of services and environments, current tooling, team size and how much pairing you want during implementation.
Client outcomes
Measured results from real engagements
2/wk → 15/day
Deployments · Fintech scale-up
From holding their breath twice a week to deploying fifteen times a day in six weeks, with an on-call rotation that stopped being a punishment.
1 year
Migration pain avoided · SaaS
Reliable IaC built on their existing VM stack, with orchestration recommended only once traffic justified it. Honesty that saved a year of migration.
6 months
Culture that stuck · Industrial IoT
Blameless postmortems, feature-flag discipline and trunk-based flow still in place long after the consultants left. The tooling was the wedge, the culture the result.

FAQ
DevOps consulting FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear before every DevOps engagement.
How long does a typical engagement last?
Most run 6 to 12 weeks. A focused CI/CD project delivers value in 4 weeks; a full transformation covering IaC, observability and orchestration runs 3 to 6 months. Scoped against your goals, not a fixed template.
Do you impose your own stack?
No. We have production experience with Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform, Pulumi and Kubernetes, and we recommend what your team can maintain. If your current tooling works, we improve it rather than replace it to follow a trend.
Can you help if we are not on Kubernetes?
Yes. Kubernetes is not a requirement and not always the right answer. We work with virtual machines, managed container services and simpler schedulers, and recommend orchestration only once your scale and traffic justify the added complexity.
How do you measure success?
With the four DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to recovery. We set a baseline during the assessment, track them throughout the engagement and measure them again after handover, so the impact is visible to leadership.
Will our team maintain the pipelines after you leave?
Yes, that is the point. We pair with your engineers by default, document every pipeline and module, and run internal training before handover. A 30-day support window follows, and post-engagement DORA metrics confirm the improvement holds without us.
