DevOps and DevSecOps Services.

What are DevOps and DevSecOps?

DevOps is the engineering practice that makes software delivery repeatable: environments defined as code, builds that run identically every time, releases that are routine rather than events, and feedback that reaches the team while it still matters. DevSecOps adds security controls to the same pipeline — dependency scanning, secret management, image signing, policy checks — so protection happens during delivery instead of in a panic before it.

Neovantra treats this as an engineering problem, not a tooling purchase. The goal is a delivery system where a single engineer can take a change from commit to production safely, with evidence of what happened at every step.

The signals that tell you where you stand

Before proposing work we assess concrete signals: how long a commit takes to reach production, what proportion of deployments cause a rollback or incident, how quickly a failed release is detected, whether recovery has been rehearsed, and how much of the environment is written down anywhere. These numbers come from your repositories and pipelines, not from a maturity quiz.

The assessment produces a short list of constraints in priority order — flaky test suites, snowflake staging environments, manual database changes, missing alert ownership — each with an estimated effort and an expected effect on delivery performance.

What we build

Continuous integration pipelines with fast feedback: build once, promote the same artefact through test, staging and production; infrastructure as code using Terraform or the cloud's native tooling; environment automation that creates and destroys complete environments on demand; release mechanics such as blue-green or canary deployment with automated rollback tied to health signals.

Configuration is versioned, secrets live in a managed store with rotation, and database migrations run through a reviewed, reversible path. Observability tools ship alongside: structured logs, metrics keyed to user journeys, distributed tracing where services multiply, and dashboards written for whoever is on call.

Security built into the pipeline

A DevSecOps engagement wires controls into the places engineers already work: software composition analysis on every pull request, container image scanning before deploy, pre-commit hooks for secret detection, static analysis for high-confidence findings, and policy as code that blocks non-compliant infrastructure changes. Findings route to a named owner with a remediation window, because a report no one action is inventory, not security.

We build toward compliance evidence continuously — control mapping and artefact retention for standards such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 — rather than assembling screenshots a week before an audit.

Reliability and incident readiness

Service level objectives are defined with the business: what must be available, how fast a user must get a response, and how much error is tolerable. Error budgets then govern release pace. Alerts are paired with runbooks, on-call rotations are documented, and the incident process includes blameless review with actions tracked to completion. Scheduled game days test recovery — including restoring a backup, which is the only way to know a backup exists.

What you receive

Versioned pipeline and infrastructure code in your repositories, environment documentation, a delivery performance baseline with the before-and-after numbers, security control coverage mapped to your target standard, monitoring and alerting with ownership assigned, on-call and incident runbooks, and a training session so your team can extend the system without us.

Timelines and commercials

A delivery assessment with a prioritised plan takes two to three weeks. Implementing CI/CD, infrastructure as code and monitoring for a mid-size product usually takes six to ten weeks; a wider DevSecOps and compliance programme runs three to six months in stages. Assessment work is fixed-price, implementation is commonly a dedicated team or time and materials, and ongoing improvement can continue as a monthly retainer with agreed hours.
