The code was finished on Tuesday. It goes live a week on Thursday, if nothing breaks.
GISAIDPLATFORM SERVING THE WORLD’S LARGEST COVID DATA SET
Shall we chat?DevOps services and CI/CD consulting
A slow release is a tax on everything your team does.
It makes every change bigger, because batching is the only way to make the cost worth paying. Bigger changes fail more often, which makes people more careful, which makes releases slower. That loop tightens on its own.
From a release event to a release routine
- 01Weeks 1 to 2
Assessment and strategy
How long a change actually takes to reach users today, measured rather than estimated, and the three things making it slow.
- 02Weeks 3 to 6
Pilot framework
One service moved onto the new pipeline, all the way to production, so the approach is proven on something real before it is applied everywhere.
- 03Weeks 7 to 14
End to end rollout
The rest brought across, with monitoring and rollback in place, and your engineers running it rather than watching us run it.
GISAID
A platform holding one of the largest COVID data sets in the world, where availability was not negotiable.
- Built the tooling for a scale where a bad deploy is a public problem rather than an internal one.
- Automated the paths that had been manual, so releasing stopped depending on who was awake.
What a DevOps engagement includes, and what it does not
In
- Measuring how long a change takes to reach production today
- Build, test and deployment pipelines
- Infrastructure as code for the environments you keep
- Monitoring, alerting and a rollback that has been tested
- A pilot on one real service before anything is rolled out
- Handover so your team runs it without us
Out
- Running your infrastructure permanently as a managed service
- Rewriting your application to fit a platform
- Choosing a cloud provider for commercial reasons rather than technical ones
- On-call cover for your product
- Security certification and audit work
What you are signing up to
- Typical duration
- Fourteen weeks, with the pilot proving the approach by week six.
- Who you work with
- DevOps leadMeasures what you have now and owns the plan for changing it.
- Platform engineerBuilds the pipelines and the infrastructure code.
- Your engineersInvolved from the pilot, because a pipeline nobody on your side understands is a new dependency rather than a fix.
- What we need from you
- Access to your cloud accounts and repositories in week one
- One engineer from your side who can spend half their week on it
- Permission to change the release process, not only to document it
- How pricing works
- Fixed for the assessment, then quoted against the rollout once the pilot has shown what it involves.

Our Proven Approach to DevOps Services
Assessment and strategy planning
At this stage, our DevOps as a services team begins by assessing the current DevOps culture, process, and tool to quantify the maturity model. Plus, we also create a roadmap and identify the traceable metrics for strategic planning.
Pilot framework and tool stack construction
After the assessment and strategic planning, we create a pilot framework to implement the standard DevOps solutions. With our top-of-the-line expertise in leveraging open source and licensed tools, we integrate it with your existing tools for a robust ecosystem.
Managed end-to-end implementation
We manage and enhance people, skills, culture, process, and tools in this phase in order to analyze, design, construct, automate and implement tailored DevOps solutions as part of our DevOps as a service. All aligned to each project’s unique requirements.
Asked on real calls.
No. Most of the delay is in the pipeline and the process, not in whose data centre it runs in. We will say if that is genuinely the problem, and it rarely is.
That is the point, and it is why one of your engineers is on the pilot. If the answer at the end is that only we understand it, we have failed.
No. We build the monitoring and the runbooks so your on-call is survivable, but the rota stays yours.
Then you stop after six weeks having spent six weeks. That is the reason the pilot comes before the rollout.
The time from a merged change to it being live, and how often a release has to be rolled back. Both measured before we start, so the comparison is real.
