Pods that ship the automation layer your roadmap depends on.
Every DevGrid service is delivered as an outcome-owned pod with a named lead, a fixed first-sprint deliverable, and a graduation plan. Pick the discipline you need or compose a multi-pod program — pricing is transparent and tied to milestones, not hours. Below: nine services we run repeatedly for SaaS, fintech, and cloud-native retail teams.
CI/CD Pipeline Automation
Trunk-based pipelines on GitHub Actions, GitLab, Buildkite, or Jenkins. Signed images, policy gates, ephemeral preview environments, one-click rollbacks.
Site Reliability Engineering
SLOs and error budgets co-authored with product. Incident runbooks, paging hygiene, blameless post-mortems, and reliability scorecards.
Kubernetes Platform Engineering
EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed clusters provisioned via Terraform. Argo CD GitOps, Karpenter autoscaling, multi-tenant namespaces, network policy.
Supply-Chain Security
SLSA-aligned build attestations, SBOM generation, Sigstore signing, secret scanning in PRs, OPA/Conftest policy as code.
Observability Engineering
OpenTelemetry collectors, structured logging, RED/USE dashboards, exemplar-driven tracing into Datadog, Grafana Cloud, or Honeycomb.
Internal Developer Platforms
Backstage portals, paved-road service templates, scorecards, and a DX metrics dashboard to prove platform investment is paying off.
Data Platform Reliability
Reliable Airflow and Dagster deployments, SLA-tracked data products, lineage with OpenLineage, and on-call coverage for analytical pipelines.
Zero-Trust Network Engineering
Service mesh rollout, SPIFFE/SPIRE identity, mTLS across boundaries, and identity-aware proxies for both prod and developer access.
Cost & FinOps Engineering
Real-time cost dashboards, idle-resource detection, savings-plan modeling, and chargeback that engineering teams actually trust.
A pipeline tuned for shipping, not theatre.
Every CI/CD pod we deploy starts from the same paved-road template: trunk-based development, signed and SBOM-attested artifacts, parallel test sharding, security gates that fail fast, ephemeral preview environments stitched to the PR, and progressive delivery to production with automated rollback on SLO regressions. The numbers below are the median we measure across active engagements — pods land them inside the first sprint and tune them over the next two.
- Trunk-based with required-status checks and protected merges
- Container builds with Sigstore signatures and SBOM attestation
- Parallel test shards reporting RED-format metrics
- Ephemeral preview environments per PR with seeded data
- Progressive delivery (canary or blue/green) with automated rollback
Compose the pod that matches your roadmap.
Mix two or more services into a multi-disciplinary pod. We'll come back inside one business day with named engineers, a first-sprint deliverable, and milestone pricing.
