Managed DevOps: An Operations Team Without Hiring One

Managed infrastructure and proactive monitoring: full server management and ongoing DevOps from our engineers, so your team can focus on the product.

Every VPS plan already includes free DevOps support and 24/7 application monitoring: help when you ask for it. Managed DevOps is the next level. Our engineers take ongoing responsibility for how your infrastructure is deployed, monitored, secured and operated, and act without waiting to be asked.

It suits product teams without a dedicated operations engineer, agencies running many client applications, and businesses whose infrastructure has grown faster than anyone's time to look after it. Scope depends on what you run, so Managed DevOps is quoted after a short review.

What Managed DevOps covers

CI/CD pipelines

Build, test and deploy pipelines so releases are repeatable, not manual.

Deployments and rollbacks

Releases handled or supported by us, with a way back when one goes wrong.

Full server management

Patching, hardening, backups and tuning across your servers.

Monitoring and alerting

Server and application checks routed to engineers who respond.

Security

Firewalls, access control, secret handling and regular reviews.

Containers and orchestration

Docker and Kubernetes environments set up and kept healthy.

Incident response

When something breaks, we investigate, fix and write up what happened.

Infrastructure as code

Environments documented and reproducible, not hand-built and forgotten.

Managed DevOps can cover servers we host, servers on other providers and cloud platforms such as AWS. See also AWS managed services and Kubernetes management.

Example: a deploy with an automatic health check

A typical pipeline we put in place deploys the new release, checks that it is healthy and rolls back on its own if it is not.

Example: deploy step with health check and rollback
docker compose pull app
docker compose up -d app
for i in $(seq 1 10); do
  curl -fsS http://localhost:8080/health && exit 0
  sleep 3
done
echo "health check failed, rolling back"
docker compose up -d --no-deps app-previous
exit 1

    Stabilise

    We close the obvious gaps and put pipelines, monitoring and backups in place.

  4. 4

    Operate

    Deployments, patching, tuning and incident response become routine work for us.
