From manual deploys
to release at the push of a button.

We design test, build, and deploy automation around your current development stack. We select from GitHub Actions / CircleCI / CodePipeline / GitLab CI to fit your repository size and how your organization operates. The result is a setup that lets you raise release frequency without the fear of production incidents.

Pain points

Do any of these sound familiar?

Manual deploys tend to cap release frequency and leave the steps locked in one person’s head.

Production deploys are manual, and every release means calling on “that one person.”
You have tests, but they don’t run in CI — they only get run at release time.
When an incident hits, there’s no agreed rollback procedure.
Differences between staging and production surface as bugs only after release.
You want to raise release frequency, but your setup can’t keep up.
The CI/CD config is old and has reached a state no one dares to touch.
Reasons

When CI/CD starts to pay off

You can put CI/CD off only while the codebase is small and you have just one or two developers.

01

When you add developers

As commits increase, so does the risk of merging with tests unrun. Without CI, the whole burden falls on people catching everything in review — which quickly leads to review fatigue.

02

When you want to release more often

You want to move from weekly to daily, or ship several times a day. Raising frequency while keeping manual deploys in place makes accidents far more likely.

03

When you want fewer production incidents

“We write tests but still get incidents” usually means either the tests don’t run in CI or coverage is uneven. Getting CI in order is the starting line.

Scope

What we cover

We implement only what your existing repository needs. We don’t roll in a full package of features you won’t use.

01 Tools

Tool selection & design

We select from GitHub Actions / CircleCI / GitLab CI / AWS CodePipeline based on where your repository lives, how your organization operates, and your existing assets. We don’t default to “GitHub Actions, no question.”

  • GitHub Actions
  • CircleCI / GitLab CI
  • AWS CodePipeline / CodeBuild
  • Bitbucket Pipelines
  • Self-hosted runner design
  • Working alongside existing assets
02 Test

Test automation

We wire unit tests, E2E, and static analysis into CI. We respect your existing test assets while designing the test pyramid to fill the gaps.

  • Automated unit test runs
  • Playwright / Cypress E2E
  • Static analysis (ESLint / PHPStan / RuboCop)
  • Security scanning (Snyk / Trivy)
  • Coverage measurement & thresholds
  • Parallel execution & cache optimization
03 Deploy

Deploy automation

We ship build artifacts automatically to production / staging / dev. We set up a strategy suited to your service — Blue-Green, Rolling, Canary, and so on.

  • Multi-environment (dev / stg / prod)
  • Blue-Green / Rolling deploys
  • Approval flow (manual approval step)
  • Automated rollback
  • ECS / Lambda / EC2 / static sites
  • WordPress / WP-CLI integration
04 Notify

Notifications & operations

We route failures, successes, and review requests to Slack / Google Chat / Chatwork so the team notices state changes.

  • Slack / Google Chat / Chatwork notifications
  • Filtered failure alerts (ending notification overload)
  • Automatic PR review assignment
  • Automated release announcements
  • Error-monitoring tool integration
  • Operations manuals
05 Migrate

Migration from existing CI

For an aging Jenkins, a GitLab CI no one dares touch, or a GitHub Actions with scattered config, we make use of your existing CI assets and migrate to a modern setup in stages.

  • Migration from Jenkins / legacy CI
  • Config inventory & documentation
  • Running both in parallel for a period
  • Diff verification & compatibility checks
  • Cutover planning
  • Documented rollback procedures
06 Cost

Cost & runner optimization

We cut CI spend through execution time, parallelism, caching, and self-hosted runners. For organizations whose monthly bill has crept up.

  • Baseline of run time & per-minute cost
  • Reviewing the caching strategy
  • Optimizing parallel execution
  • Introducing self-hosted runners
  • Trimming unnecessary jobs
  • Monthly CI cost reports
Process

From first contact to launch

  • 01Consultation — we hear the state of your existing repository and the release frequency you’re aiming for (30 minutes).
  • 02Assessment — we take inventory of the repository, test assets, and deploy steps, and prioritize what to improve.
  • 03Design & proposal — tool selection, pipeline design, and a migration plan, in writing.
  • 04Phased implementation — we build in the order test → build → deploy, and hand off in a state your developers can work with.
  • 05Operations support — we keep proposing improvements in regular reviews until your release process is running smoothly.
Plans

Engagement formats

Three formats depending on project size. Pricing is presented in writing after requirements are fixed.

Diagnose

Assessment

  • Inventory of existing CI / deploy steps
  • Improvement-priority map
  • Option to stop after the assessment
  • Delivered as a PDF report
Continuous

Continuous improvement

  • Support for running the release cycle
  • Failure analysis & pipeline tuning
  • CI cost optimization
  • Scope agreed individually in the contract
Comparison

Compared with the alternatives

Option A

In-house

  • A template gets copied once and left as-is
  • Test, deploy, and notification links stay half-wired
  • No recovery design for when things fail
  • Operational know-how stays in one person’s head
Option B

Bundled with a cloud vendor

  • The setup skews to the vendor’s own service
  • Test setup isn’t included
  • Notification design & operations manuals are a separate contract
  • Nothing carries over if you switch away
SHANNON

Assess → design → build → operate

  • Designed around your existing assets and organization
  • Production deploy automation paired with test setup
  • Operations manuals left as a deliverable
  • Continued support into the operations phase
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. We read through the pipeline assets Jenkins holds and build a plan to migrate to GitHub Actions / CircleCI and the like in stages. We run both in parallel for a period to keep risk to a minimum.
Yes. We design to your network requirements — for example, standing up self-hosted runners inside your internal network and triggering them from GitHub Actions / GitLab CI, or running AWS CodeBuild inside a VPC.
We offer a one-off CI cost assessment. We take inventory of long-running jobs, unused caching, excessive parallelism, and the like, and propose cost-reduction measures in priority order. In many cases, introducing self-hosted runners cuts costs substantially.
Yes. Where tests are thin, we pair CI setup with test pyramid design and a proposal for how to add tests. We avoid the “we added CI but have no tests to run” situation.
We support major stacks including PHP / Laravel / Go / Node.js / Python / Ruby on Rails / Java / .NET. The engagement is handled by members experienced with containerization and Terraform / IaC as part of the build.
Even teams of three or fewer often see value in at least one of release frequency, incident reduction, or removing single-person dependencies. If we judge the return unlikely, we’ll suggest stopping after the assessment.
