DevOps Services

What DevOps services cover

DevOps-as-a-service means the whole delivery path is one person's responsibility, not a hand-off between teams. That covers CI/CD pipelines that catch problems before they ship, infrastructure as code so environments are reproducible instead of remembered, and Kubernetes clusters that are actually operable by whoever's on call.

It's not a one-time setup and a handshake. Pipelines get maintained as your stack changes, infrastructure gets reviewed as you scale, and monitoring gets tuned as new failure modes show up — the same way an in-house DevOps engineer would, just without the recruiting.

Read more on the blog about how specific pieces of this work in practice.

What's Included

Scope is grouped by lifecycle phase — assess, build, automate, secure, operate.

ASSESS

DevOps Assessment & Roadmap

A structured look at your current pipelines, infrastructure, and on-call setup — what's solid, what's fragile, and what order to fix things in.

BUILD

Infrastructure as Code

Your environments defined in Terraform, reviewed like application code, and reproducible from a clean account if you ever needed to prove it.

AUTOMATE

CI/CD Pipeline Design

Push-to-deploy pipelines with real gates — tests, security scans, and a rollback path that's actually been exercised, not just written down.

SECURE

Security Baked Into the Pipeline

Dependency scanning, secret handling, and least-privilege access wired into the same pipeline that ships your code — not a separate audit months later.

OPERATE

Managed Day-2 Operations

Monitoring, alerting, and hands-on-keyboard support once things are live — someone who already knows the system when something breaks.

Top Challenges I Solve

01

Deployments are manual and only one engineer can run them

Ship days depend on one person being available, and everyone else is afraid to touch the release process.

A push-to-deploy pipeline with clear gates, so shipping doesn't depend on tribal knowledge or one specific person being online.

02

Terraform state lives in someone's head, not in code

Infrastructure changes happen by clicking around in a console, and nobody's fully sure what's actually deployed.

Infrastructure defined as code, in version control, with changes reviewed the same way application code is.

03

Nobody finds out about an incident until a customer reports it

Monitoring exists, but the alerts that matter are buried in noise nobody reads.

Alerting tuned to what actually matters, wired to a channel someone's actually watching — not a dashboard nobody opens.

04

Kubernetes was set up once and nobody's touched it since

It works, mostly, but upgrades are terrifying and the person who built it has moved on.

A cluster that's documented, upgraded on a real schedule, and operable by whoever's on call — not just the person who built it.

05

Security review happens right before a customer audit, not before

Scanning and access reviews get done in a scramble once a compliance deadline is already close.

Scanning and access reviews built into the pipeline itself, so there's nothing to scramble for when an audit comes up.

06

Cloud costs went up and nobody knows exactly why

The bill keeps growing, but tracing it back to a specific service or decision takes a full day nobody has.

Cost visibility tied to what's actually running, reviewed as part of the same engagement — not a separate project.

How a DevOps Engagement Works

1

Assessment & Baseline

We start with what you actually have — pipelines, infrastructure, on-call setup — and agree on what "better" looks like before any work starts.

2

Roadmap & Design

A written plan, ordered by what reduces the most risk first, with the tooling choices explained rather than assumed.

3

Implementation

Hands-on-keyboard work — pipelines, Terraform, Kubernetes changes — shipped incrementally so nothing goes dark for weeks.

4

Handover & Enablement

Documentation your team can actually follow, plus a walkthrough so nothing you now depend on is a black box.

5

Managed Operations

Ongoing support if you want it — monitoring, fixes, and reviews — or a clean handoff if you don't.

What Good Looks Like

Deploys become routine, not events

Shipping code doesn't require a specific person, a specific day, or crossed fingers.

Every environment is reproducible from code

Staging, prod, and anything in between can be rebuilt from what's in the repo — not from memory.

You know what's running before it breaks, not after

Alerts point at what actually matters, before a customer notices first.

Security review isn't a scramble before an audit

Scanning and access reviews are already part of how things ship.

Why Choose lecode

Solo-built

One engineer, full accountability — not a rotating account team.

Your infrastructure

Your cloud accounts, your repos — nothing routed through a third party.

Direct access

You talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager.

No lock-in

Everything as code, in your repos — leave anytime with nothing left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

You get the same hands-on work without the hiring process, onboarding time, or the risk of a single point of failure leaving. Engagements can be project-based or ongoing.

Existing tools first — the goal is fixing what's fragile, not migrating you to a new stack for its own sake. Tooling changes only get proposed when they solve a real problem.

Assessment and roadmap usually take 1-2 weeks. Implementation depends on scope — a single pipeline might take days, a full platform rebuild takes longer. You get a written estimate before work starts.

You can take the handover and run it yourself, or continue with ongoing managed support. Either way, everything's documented and in your own repos — no lock-in.

Yes — most engagements involve some collaboration with in-house engineers, even when there's no dedicated DevOps hire yet.
