Containers, CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code.
Overview
Docker packages an application, with everything it needs to run, into a container image that behaves the same on a laptop, a test server and in production. DevOps is the wider set of practices around it: automated pipelines, infrastructure as code, monitoring and shared ownership of running software.
Teams invest in containers and DevOps to take the friction and risk out of releasing software. The goal isn’t more tooling; it’s fewer manual steps, faster feedback and the confidence to deploy whenever a change is ready.
What we build
Multi-stage Dockerfiles with minimal base images, non-root users and vulnerability scanning in the pipeline.
Docker Compose setups that start the full stack with one command, so new developers are productive on day one.
GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipelines with caching, parallel tests, preview environments and approval gates.
Helm charts, ingress, autoscaling and resource limits on EKS or AKS, when the workload genuinely needs them.
Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry, or the cloud provider’s native tools, with alerts tied to runbooks.
Our approach
How we keep Docker & DevOps work tested, fast, secure and easy to release.
Pinned base images, regular rebuilds for security patches, image signing and a software bill of materials.
Fast feedback first: lint and unit tests in minutes, slower suites in parallel, and production deployments only from the main branch.
Terraform or Bicep with remote state, locking and drift detection, reviewed like application code.
Health checks, automated rollback, runbooks and blameless reviews after incidents.
Libraries, services and tools we commonly pair with Docker & DevOps.

FAQ
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Ask us directly. We’re happy to talk it through.
Usually, yes, including many older .NET, Java and PHP applications. We containerise without changing behaviour first, then improve configuration, logging and scaling once it runs reliably.
Compose is ideal for local development and simple single-host deployments. Kubernetes suits many services that need scheduling, scaling and self-healing across machines. Managed container services often sit comfortably in between.
A pipeline for a single application is usually a short, focused piece of work. Rolling it out across many repositories takes longer and works best as a reusable template your team can apply.
