Cardinal Solutions delivers CI/CD and DevOps strategy services for startups and growing businesses that need faster releases, higher reliability, and scalable delivery processes. We design automated pipelines, modern workflows, and operational visibility while enabling the cultural shift required to sustain them.

Start your DevOps journey Why strategy matters

Why DevOps fails without strategy

Many teams adopt tools without addressing process and ownership. We focus on outcomes, not just automation.

  • CI/CD pipelines mapped to product risk and cadence
  • DevOps culture and shared ownership across teams
  • Operational visibility: metrics, alerts, and SLOs

What we deliver

We design CI/CD pipeline setup, DevOps implementation services, and automation patterns tuned to your stack and compliance needs.

  • End-to-end CI/CD consulting: build, test, deploy, and security gates
  • Infrastructure as code consulting and cloud environment baselines
  • Software delivery automation with progressive delivery options
  • Runbooks, SLOs, and incident response playbooks
  • Skills enablement and pair-delivery with your engineering teams

Stack alignment

Cloud DevOps services tailored to Azure, AWS, hybrid, or on-prem workloads.

Quality & risk

Security scans, quality gates, and release approvals match your risk tolerance.

Scalable cadence

Pipelines scale with your team size, product complexity, and compliance needs.

DevOps that improves business outcomes

We avoid tool-first traps by tying automation to clear business outcomes: faster delivery, lower failure rates, and reliable operations.

  1. Current state review: Pipelines, environments, and bottlenecks.
  2. Strategy & design: Target architecture, access, and governance.
  3. Implementation: IaC, pipelines, secrets, and observability.
  4. Adoption: Playbooks, training, and continuous improvement.
