DevOps

Docker-first, from development to production

Every project runs in containers — identical environments from your laptop to production. Automated deployments, HTTPS, CI/CD, and a custom deployment platform we built and battle-tested across 25+ projects.

Dockerized Everything

Every project uses the same Docker Compose structure. A new developer can clone any repository and have it running locally in minutes — with web server, database, test database, and worker processes all configured.

  • One command to start any project locally
  • Test databases included by default
  • Private Docker registry with versioned base images
  • Identical structure across all 25+ projects

Standard project structure

project/
container/
.env — project config
docker-compose.dev.yml
docker-compose.prod.yml
code/www/ — mounted at /var/www
scripts/
restart.sh — one command start
build/
Dockerfile

We can Dockerize your existing project as a consultancy service.

Docker Swarm Production Hosting

Production container orchestration without Kubernetes complexity. Multi-node clusters, automated HTTPS, zero-downtime deployments, and support for both cloud and on-premise infrastructure.

Multi-Node Clusters

Multiple managers and workers across availability zones for redundancy and performance.

Automated HTTPS

Let's Encrypt certificates via Cloudflare DNS, automatically provisioned and renewed.

Traefik Reverse Proxy

Dynamic routing with middleware for IP restrictions, redirects, and rate limiting.

Zero-Downtime Deploys

Rolling updates ensure your application stays available during every deployment.

Cloud & On-Premise

Works on any infrastructure — your cloud provider or your own hardware.

As a Service

We can host your app or set up Swarm on your infrastructure as a consultancy engagement.

Custom Deployment Platform

We built our own deployment platform — not because we wanted to reinvent the wheel, but because we needed something that fits our exact workflow. Push-button deployments with full audit trails, built and battle-tested across all our projects.

  • GitHub release triggers automated build and deployment
  • PR-based preview deployments for code review
  • Multi-environment support (production, acceptance, test)
  • Full deployment history and rollback capability

Deployment flow

Push code to GitHub

Create PR or merge to main

CI runs tests automatically

Full test suite, code quality checks

Create release on GitHub

Tag triggers the build pipeline

Automated build & deploy

Docker image built, pushed to registry, deployed to Swarm

CI/CD Pipeline

Every pull request triggers the full test suite automatically. No code merges without passing tests. A consistent, standardized pipeline used across all our projects — from open-source packages to client applications.

  • Full test suite on every pull request
  • Standardized pipeline across all projects
  • Private registry integration for secure builds
  • Release-triggered production builds

Available as a service

Don't have CI/CD set up for your team? We can configure the full pipeline as a consultancy engagement — from GitHub Actions to private registry integration and automated deployments.

Multi-Environment Strategy

Production, acceptance, test — each environment has its own database, secrets, and domain. Managed consistently so that what works in acceptance will work in production.

Production

  • Live customer traffic
  • Automated HTTPS
  • Docker Secrets for credentials
  • Rolling deployments
  • Monitoring and alerting

Acceptance

  • Client review environment
  • PR-based preview deploys
  • Separate database
  • IP-restricted access
  • Mirrors production config

Test

  • Automated test runs
  • CI pipeline target
  • Isolated test database
  • Ephemeral containers
  • Full suite on every PR

Infrastructure as Code

Everything is reproducible and version-controlled. Docker Compose files for every environment are checked into git. A single Docker image serves multiple roles — web, worker, scheduler — controlled by environment variables.

  • One image, multiple roles via environment variables
  • Compose files version-controlled in git
  • Standardized templates for rapid project bootstrapping
  • No "works on my machine" problems — everything is reproducible

Single image, multiple roles

ROLE=web Apache + PHP-FPM
ROLE=worker Queue worker process
ROLE=scheduler Cron job runner

Private Package Development Workflow

Our in-house packages are developed alongside real client projects. Local package mounting means changes to a package are instantly reflected in the application — no publish-install cycle during development.

  • Local package mounting for real-time development
  • Composer-based distribution via private repository
  • Packages tested against real projects, not just unit tests
  • Dedicated development environment for package work

Development workflow

# Start project with local packages
./scripts/restart.sh -p
# Packages mounted from local filesystem
packages/
tallformbuilder/
talldatatable/
tallui/
# Changes reflected immediately
# No composer update needed
