CI/CD Accelerator

A fast, focused engagement to set up or fix your AWS deployment pipeline using AWS CI/CD tools or GitHub Actions.

A fast, focused engagement to set up or fix your AWS deployment pipeline using AWS CI/CD tools or GitHub Actions.

We’ve seen teams lose full days of productivity over flaky deployments. This package is built to make CI/CD a strength — not a liability.

⚠️ The Problem

Most teams “have a pipeline”… but:

  • It breaks randomly
  • There’s no rollback strategy
  • Staging/prod are inconsistent
  • Secrets are exposed or hardcoded
  • Devs waste time with half-manual deploys
  • CI/CD should be boring and reliable. Instead, it’s risky and slow.

✅ Who It’s For

  • Startups running on AWS without a working CI/CD pipeline
  • Teams deploying manually or with unreliable scripts
  • CTOs and tech leads who want confident, automated delivery
  • Anyone planning to onboard more devs or scale dev velocity

🚀 What You Get

A complete CI/CD implementation or refactor, in 1 week.

You’ll get:

  • 🧭 Pipeline discovery & mapping — We audit your full software delivery process: from code commit to deployment. You’ll know exactly what’s happening, where it breaks, and what’s missing.

  • 🚧 Bottleneck diagnosis — We flag manual steps, flaky tests, slow builds, or dependency chaos that are slowing down your team or risking downtime.

  • ⚙️ Deployment hardening — We ensure your pipeline follows best practices for reliability, rollback safety, and multi-environment consistency.

  • 🔐 Secure delivery setup — We review and guide secure credential handling, permission boundaries, and least-privilege pipeline access.

  • 📦 Artifact & versioning strategy — We help you avoid “last-minute prod panic” with clean versioning, release control, and traceability.

  • 📣 Basic notification system (if applicable) — You get basic Slack/Teams build alerts, with optional integrations into channels your team actually watches. (Custom notifications can be scoped separately.)

Note: This includes basic Slack or email notifications for pipeline status (e.g., success/failure alerts) using your existing channels or addresses. More complex setups—such as environment-specific routing, webhook integrations, or multi-step notification logic — can be scoped separately if needed.

❌ What’s Not Included

  • Infrastructure creation (use the Accelerator for that)
  • Security/compliance audits
  • Multi-cloud CI/CD orchestration
  • Custom tooling (unless scoped explicitly)
  • Full pipeline rebuilds (unless scoped explicitly)

🗓 Timeline

🧠 Why Work With Me

I’m an AWS-focused software architect who’s helped teams move from broken delivery pipelines to clean, repeatable CI/CD built for confidence, not chaos. I don’t push tools—I deliver working systems.

🧩 Optional Add-On

💸 Cost Optimisation Audit

CI/CD pipelines can quietly become expensive — long-running builds, unscoped test jobs, over-provisioned runners, and excessive artifacts all add up.

If your delivery pipeline is wasting cloud spend, our Cost Optimisation Audit surfaces it — and shows exactly what to fix.
