CI/CD & deployment setup
Stop deploying by hand. Ship the same way every time.
A properly scoped Docker Compose and CI/CD pipeline for small teams, set up as a fixed-scope engagement.

Sound familiar?
You'll know it's time when…
- Deploys mean someone logging into a server and hoping.
- It works on one machine and not on another.
- Only one person knows how to release, and they are the bottleneck.
- Secrets live in chat messages, files or someone's memory.
What changes
What you get, in plain terms.
Repeatable releases
Build once, promote the same image through each environment.
Traceable builds
SHA-tagged images, so you always know exactly what is running.
Safer secrets
Managed secrets instead of credentials scattered around.
Anyone can deploy
A written deploy and rollback guide your whole team can follow.
Deliverables
What lands in your hands.
- A Docker Compose setup that matches how you actually run
- A build-once, promote-everywhere pipeline with SHA-tagged images
- Managed secrets and a written deploy and rollback guide
How it works
Simple, staged, no surprises.
-
Review how you ship today
I look at your app, environments and current release routine.
-
Scope the pipeline
A fixed-scope plan sized to a small team, not an enterprise platform.
-
Set it up and prove it
Docker Compose and CI/CD in place, tested with a real release.
-
Hand over
Documentation so the team owns it from day one.
Best fit
A small team still deploying by hand
Probably not for you
Not the right fit if you already run a mature, well-documented pipeline. A technical audit may be a better first step.
Common questions
Answered straight, before you ask.
Is this the same setup you use yourself?
Yes. This site runs on the same approach: Docker Compose, SHA-tagged images and a documented deploy routine.
Do we have to use a particular cloud?
No. The setup is built around containers, so it works on a typical VPS or the cloud provider you already use.
Fixed price or retainer?
Fixed scope. You know what you are getting and what it covers before work starts.
