- |> Teams that want GitHub Actions but don't have the time to set it up properly
/ / What's included
- |>End-to-end pipeline audit with written findings
- |>GitHub Actions workflow design and implementation (build, test, lint, release)
- |>Mix release and Docker image build pipeline

- |>Terraform plan/apply gating with PR comments and approval gates
- |>Documentation and runbook for on-call engineers
/ / How we work

1
Audit
We review your current pipeline, identify flakiness, bottlenecks, and missing steps, and deliver a written report.
-
2
Rebuild
We rewrite the pipeline on GitHub Actions, test it against your staging environment, and review it with your team before switching over.
-

Handover
We document the pipeline and walk through the runbook so any engineer on your team can operate and extend it.
/ / Common questions
- Our pipeline is in CircleCI / GitLab CI. Do we need to move to GitHub Actions?
- No. We have a strong preference for GitHub Actions because it's where most teams already host their code, but we can audit and improve your existing pipeline on whatever platform you use.
- How do you handle secrets in the pipeline?
- We use GitHub Actions secrets for short-lived credentials and OIDC for AWS access. No long-lived keys stored anywhere. For Terraform secrets we use SOPS.
- Our test suite is slow. Can you help speed it up?
- Yes. Test suite performance is usually the biggest driver of pipeline cost and developer frustration. We look at parallelisation, database reset strategies, and unnecessary compilation steps.
- What does 'plan/apply gating' mean in practice?
- When a PR modifies Terraform, we run a plan and post the output as a PR comment. A human reviews the planned changes and approves a deployment. Then the pipeline applies the plan. No infrastructure changes happen without a human seeing the diff first.
