DevOps for Startups: Deployment, Servers and CI/CD

I set up and run production infrastructure for startups and small SaaS teams that don't have a DevOps engineer: servers, CI/CD, zero-downtime deploys, monitoring, backups and security. I build and run what I ship. That includes a zero-downtime self-update pipeline for Bicitra Commerce installs on hosting I don't control, PgBouncer, job queues and k6 load tests on a hospital platform, and this site's own server.

Starting from $600 (server setup)Discuss your project

Problems I solve

  • Deploys are manual, scary, and done by whoever remembers how.
  • Your cloud bill is growing faster than your users.
  • Nobody knows whether backups work, because nobody has restored one.
  • You've outgrown shared hosting or Heroku and need a proper server.

What you get

  • Production setup on a VPS, AWS or DigitalOcean: nginx, SSL, Docker, databases
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions and zero-downtime deploys
  • Monitoring, alerts, and backups with a tested restore
  • Security hardening and cloud cost reduction
  • Migration off shared hosting or Heroku
  • Optional monthly server-care retainer

Questions

Can you move our app off Heroku or shared hosting?
Yes. I plan the migration, set up the new server with SSL, a process manager and automated deploys, move the data, and switch DNS with minimal downtime.
What does DevOps work cost?
Server setup starts from $600, and a server or application migration from $1,200. Server care starts from $150 a month per server: monitoring, security updates, backup checks and container health, with incident help during my working hours (not 24/7).
Do you offer ongoing server maintenance?
Yes, as the monthly server-care plan above, or as part of a Maintenance & Support retainer that also covers your application code.
