CI/CD and GitOps
Fast, trustworthy delivery depends on pipelines your team believes in. We build and repair CI/CD on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins and Azure Pipelines, and we use GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and Flux to make deployments declarative and auditable.
Each page covers one tool in practical terms: how we structure pipelines, how we handle secrets and approvals, how we keep builds fast, and when migrating from one tool to another is worth the effort.
Technologies in this category
GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions is the workflow automation built into GitHub, used to build, test, scan and deploy code on every push or pull request. We design its workflow structure, short-lived cloud credentials, runner strategy and caching so pipelines stay fast, auditable and cheap to maintain as your team and repositories grow.
GitLab CI/CD
GitLab CI/CD is the pipeline system built into GitLab, defined in a .gitlab-ci.yml file and executed by GitLab Runners. We design its pipeline structure, shared templates, runner fleet, secrets handling and environments so builds are fast, deployments are controlled, and the setup stays maintainable as repositories multiply.
Jenkins
Jenkins is an open source automation server used to build, test and deploy software through jobs and pipelines defined in a Jenkinsfile. We stabilise existing Jenkins estates with pipeline as code, ephemeral agents, plugin hygiene and hardened access, and we plan clean migrations to other CI systems when Jenkins no longer fits.
Azure Pipelines
Azure Pipelines is the CI/CD service in Azure DevOps, defined in YAML and run on Microsoft-hosted or self-hosted agents. We design its template structure, environments and approvals, service connections, agent pools and deployment strategies so releases to Azure, AKS and other targets are controlled, auditable and fast.
ArgoCD
ArgoCD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that compares the state in git with the live cluster and syncs the difference. We design repository layout, ApplicationSets, SSO and RBAC, sync and drift policies, and its own high availability and upgrades, so deployments are auditable and reversible.
Flux
Flux is a GitOps toolkit for Kubernetes made of small controllers that pull configuration from git, OCI or Helm repositories and reconcile it into clusters. We bootstrap and structure Flux, set up Kustomize and Helm releases, secrets, multi-tenancy and notifications, and run upgrades so clusters stay in line with git.
