DevOps setup services for startups
I set up the delivery pipeline, artifact management, cloud infrastructure and monitoring your startup needs, then hand it over with documentation your team can run on its own.
What I set up
Pick the pieces you need, or take the whole launch kit.
CI/CD pipelines
Build, test, scan and deploy on every push, with GitHub Actions workflows or Jenkins pipelines as code. Pull request checks, GitHub rulesets and protected branches, reusable templates and self-hosted runners. Platform detail →
JFrog Artifactory, self-hosted
Install, secure and configure Artifactory on your own servers. Docker, npm, Maven, Gradle and PyPI repositories, remote caches, retention rules and build promotion between environments. More detail →
Containers and Kubernetes
Lean Dockerfiles, docker-compose for local development, and Kubernetes with Helm charts when you’ve outgrown a single server. Rolling deploys and instant rollback.
Server and environment setup
Cloud or VPS servers, networks and environments set up with Ansible playbooks, so they can be rebuilt the same way every time and nothing lives only in someone’s head.
Atlassian Jira setup
Projects, boards and workflows that fit how your team works, plus automation that links commits, builds and deployments to tickets. Confluence spaces for runbooks. More detail →
Python automation
Scripts and scheduled jobs for the repetitive work: database backups, environment cleanup, cloud cost reports, release notes, user provisioning and health checks.
Monitoring and alerting
Prometheus and Grafana dashboards for the numbers that matter, log collection, uptime checks and alerts that reach the right phone at the right time.
Security basics
Secrets in a vault, least-privilege access, image and dependency scanning in the pipeline, and backups you’ve actually tested by restoring.
How the 14-day launch kit runs
Fixed scope, fixed price, daily progress you can see in your own repositories.
- Day 1
Audit call
Code, cloud account, current deploys, pain points.
- Days 2–4
Pipeline
Build, test and scan on every pull request.
- Days 5–7
Artifacts and environments
Artifactory, images, dev, staging and production.
- Days 8–10
Server setup and secrets
Servers and environments scripted with Ansible, secrets moved out of code into a proper store.
- Days 11–13
Monitoring
Dashboards, alerts, tested backups.
- Day 14
Handover
Runbook, recorded walkthrough, 30 days of support.
Hire full-time, or set it up once?
For most startups under 30 engineers, a full-time DevOps hire comes before there’s a full-time job to do.
| Compare | Startup launch kit | Full-time DevOps hire | Do it yourselves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to a working pipeline | 14 days | 2–3 months to hire, then onboarding | Whenever there’s time |
| Cost | From ₹83,999, one-time | A full salary, every month | Your developers’ time, away from product |
| Documentation and runbook | Included | Depends on the person | Rarely |
| You own everything | Yes, in your accounts | Yes | Yes |
| Help after setup | 30 days, then optional retainer | Ongoing | None |
Packages
Pipeline starter
One app that needs to stop being deployed by hand.
About 5 working days
International: $499
Why 5 days? The starter covers one app, one pipeline and one environment. The launch kit adds Artifactory, three environments, monitoring and a full handover, and that’s what takes 14 days.
- CI on every pull request with GitHub Actions or Jenkins
- Docker image build and versioning
- Automatic deploy to one environment
- Secrets moved out of code
- Setup notes and 14 days of support
- Doesn’t include Artifactory, multiple environments or monitoring

What’s not included
- Fixing application code so it builds, passes tests or runs in containers. I’ll point out what needs changing, and can quote for it.

- Ongoing support after the included support period. That’s what the retainer is for.
Bigger than a startup setup?
If you have 10+ repos, enterprise customers, or security questionnaires to answer:
DevOps setup questions
Which cloud providers do you work with?
Can you migrate us from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, or the other way?
We already have some CI. Can you just fix what’s there?
Why is the starter 5 days and the kit 14?
How do payments work?
Will you sign an NDA?
