How We Build Your Pipeline

From Manual Deployments to Automated Pipelines in 6 Weeks.

Every pipeline we build deploys real code to production before the engagement ends. Week 1 to Week 6: your first automated production deploy ships, and your team is trained to run it independently on day one of handoff.

Your 6-week build plan

1
Week 1
Deploy risk audit
We map your repos, CI tools, environments, and the 3 biggest risks in your current deploy process
2
Week 2
Pipeline architecture
We select tools, define your branching strategy, and finalize the environment topology — and explain every decision
3
Weeks 3 to 4
CI automation build
Build, test, lint, and security scan stages wired and running against your real codebase

Week 5
CD setup and environment management
Staging and production pipelines go live, canary deploys configured, and the first production deploy runs automated

DevOps and CI/CD Service Scope

Six capabilities. One automated engineering operation.

01

CI pipeline setup

GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, connected to your repo and running build, test, and lint checks automatically. Your first passing pipeline runs in week 1.

02

Continuous deployment

Staging and production pipelines with canary deploys, automated rollback on error rate spikes, and zero-downtime releases. Your engineers stop hand-holding deploys.

03

Infrastructure as code

Terraform or Pulumi provisions and manages your entire infrastructure from a single config. Environments stay identical. "It works on my machine" stops being a conversation.

04

Monitoring and alerting

Grafana, Datadog, or Prometheus dashboards with SLO tracking and Slack or PagerDuty alerts. You get notified before a customer files a support ticket.

05

Container orchestration

Docker with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or AKS) or AWS ECS, configured with auto-scaling, health checks, and rolling deploys. Traffic shifts away from failing pods before users notice.

06

Security scanning

Snyk, Trivy, or SonarQube runs inside every pipeline. Vulnerabilities are caught and blocked before staging. They never reach production.

The unbroken loop

CI feeds CD.
CD feeds learning.
Always moving.

Retail Distribution Case Study

Parsons Kellogg: pipeline automation and unified workflows took revenue from $14M to $120M.

Automation

Parsons Kellogg is a multi-site retail distributor running 30+ store locations and over one million inventory items. Before the engagement, operations ran on manual processes, disconnected systems, and no unified reporting.

Challenge

Manual processes created blind spots across 30 stores. Managers could not see inventory or order status in real time, which led to late decisions, missed orders, and a revenue ceiling at $14M. The bottleneck was not the market — it was the operations infrastructure.

What we built

A full operational automation layer: unified reporting across all 30 locations, automated warehouse workflows, real-time inventory tracking, and streamlined fulfillment pipelines — built and deployed simultaneously.

  • Real-time reporting across all 30 locations from one dashboard
  • Automated warehouse and fulfillment workflows, replacing manual steps
  • Unified inventory management tracking 1M+ items live
  • Decision-makers saw store data in real time instead of waiting for daily reports
Result
$0M

Revenue scaled from under $14M to over $120M. The growth came from operational capacity that manual workflows could not support.

Operational efficiency

Automated workflows cut the time between identifying an issue and acting on it. Managers stopped waiting for end-of-day reports and responded in real time.

Visibility

Every store, every inventory count, every order status — visible from a single dashboard. Decisions that used to take days took minutes.

How Redefine DevOps Is Different

What you actually get from a DevOps and CI/CD specialist versus a CI script shop.

Capability
What most agencies deliver
What Redefine delivers
Pipeline scope
Builds your pipeline to your spec, without reviewing how your deploys actually fail first
Audits your real deploy risk before designing a single stage — so the pipeline fixes the right problems
Rollback strategy
Manual rollback: SSH in, revert the tag. Engineers spend 20 to 90 minutes every time
Automated rollback: the pipeline detects an error rate spike and rolls back in under 2 minutes. No one gets paged at 2am
Security integration
Security scanning is an optional add-on. Often cut to save scope budget
Snyk or Trivy runs in every pipeline by default. It is not an upsell
Environment parity
Staging runs on a different config than production. "Works in staging" becomes a production fire
Terraform provisions staging and production from the same config. What passes in staging ships safely to production
Handoff model
Pipeline is delivered on day one of handoff. Documentation is written in a final-week sprint
Your team is trained during the build itself. Operations runbooks are written throughout — not assembled the night before handoff
Monitoring
Alerts on server uptime. No visibility into whether a specific deploy caused the problem
Every deploy event is tagged and correlated to error rate and response time in one dashboard. You see which release caused the issue in seconds
Questions from CTOs

What engineering leaders ask before they start.

Do we need to change our code structure to work with your pipelines?

In most cases, no. We build the pipeline around your existing repo structure, branching strategy, and test setup. Where we do recommend changes — for example, adding a Dockerfile or splitting test commands — we explain the reason and get your approval first.

We already have some CI set up. Can you improve what exists rather than rebuild it?

Yes. The audit in Week 1 maps what you already have. We keep what works, replace what is causing pain, and add what is missing. A full rebuild is only recommended when the existing setup costs more to maintain than to replace.

We are already on AWS. Do you work with our existing cloud setup?

Yes. We support AWS (EKS, ECS, Fargate, Lambda), GCP (GKE, Cloud Run), and Azure (AKS, Container Apps). We recommend based on your team's existing skills and current provider, not on what we prefer to work with. Multi-cloud and hybrid environments are in scope — tell us your setup in the brief and we will confirm.

What happens on handoff day? Does everything fall apart when your team leaves?

Your engineers are trained during the build, not at the end. By Week 5, your team is already merging changes and watching automated deploys run. Handoff day is a formality, not a knowledge transfer crisis. A 30-day support window stays open after handoff.

Can you integrate DevOps into an existing Agile sprint process?

Yes. We align to your sprint cadence and work as an embedded DevOps team throughout. Stand-ups, sprint reviews, and backlog items all map to your existing process. We do not require a separate waterfall-style engagement running in parallel.

Is this a fit?

Strong fit if…

  • Your team spends more than 30 minutes on a manual deployment
  • You avoid Friday releases because the risk of a bad deploy is real
  • You have no automatic rollback — a bad deploy means SSHing in to fix it
  • Staging and production use different configs, so "works in staging" is not a guarantee

Probably not a fit if…

  • You are pre-MVP and have no production environment to automate yet
  • You want a vendor to run your entire infrastructure — not just build the pipeline and hand it to your team

Not sure? Tell us your current deploy process and we will tell you directly if we are the right fit.
