Delivery backlog
DevOps that makes releases
boring, on purpose.
DevOps development services that set up pipelines, cloud infrastructure and monitoring so every release is routine: tested before it ships, watched after it lands, rolled back from a rehearsed plan rather than improvised. Built in your own cloud accounts, documented, no lock-in.

What we do
PixelCrayons builds the delivery infrastructure around your code: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, environments and observability, in your own cloud accounts. Engagements cover pipelines, staging that mirrors production, alerting and rollback discipline. We're not a hosting reseller: cloud contracts stay yours and everything is documented in your repositories. We work direct for brands and white-label for agencies.
- CI/CD pipelines that gate on qualityBuild, test and deploy automated from commit to production, with the QA gate enforced by machinery.
- Infrastructure as codeServers, networks, databases and permissions defined in versioned, reviewable code in your repositories.
- Environments that actually matchStaging that mirrors production, preview environments where they earn their cost, and managed secrets.
In every engagement
What a DevOps engagement
actually includes.
01
CI/CD pipelines that gate on quality
Build, test and deploy automated from commit to production (that's what CI/CD means), with the QA gate enforced by machinery rather than memory. Nothing reaches production that hasn't passed the checks your team agreed to. Pipelines are designed for the failure case as much as the happy path. Clear logs, fast feedback, and a red build that tells you what broke, not merely that something did.
Every merge
02
Infrastructure as code
Servers, networks, databases and permissions defined in reviewable, versioned code (Terraform or your tooling of choice) living in your repositories. Environments become reproducible from a file instead of from the memory of whoever set them up. Changes go through review like any other code, and the infrastructure documentation can never drift from reality, because it is the reality.
In your repos
03
Environments that actually match
The most expensive phrase in software is 'works on staging'. We make staging mirror production: same topology, same configuration discipline, same data shape. We add preview environments where they earn their cost, and put secrets into a managed store instead of a shared document. When environments match, a passing test means something; that is the entire point.
Kept in sync
04
Observability before you need it
Logs, metrics, traces and alerts tuned for signal, wired up while things are calm rather than during the incident. Dashboards that show what the business cares about: errors, delays and volume on the flows that carry revenue. Alerts that page a human only when a human is needed. Alert fatigue is a design failure; quiet, trustworthy monitoring is the deliverable.
From day one
05
Deploy-without-fear culture, documented
Small reversible releases, rollbacks rehearsed until they're boring, feature switches where they buy safety. Runbooks your team can follow at 2am without us on the call. The engagement's endpoint is deliberate: your engineers shipping confidently through infrastructure they understand and own, not a dependency on ours. If you want us to stay on, that's a choice, never a necessity.

Where the work happens
The process
From deploy anxiety
to routine releases.
01
Start
Brief and access
We sign an NDA, get access and read the existing pipeline, infrastructure and deploy history, including what already works and should be left alone.
02
Once the brief is complete
Itemised proposal
We confirm when the proposal arrives: findings in plain English and a plan sequenced by risk and payoff, with what ships, in what order and for how much.
03
Your decision
You sign off
You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.
04
Typically 2 to 3 business days later
The team starts
The sharpest pain is fixed first: a flaky deploy stabilised, a pipeline gate added or the IaC baseline started, in your accounts, reviewed.
05
On the date in your proposal
First deliverable
Your team releases through the improved pipeline, with the rollback path rehearsed and documented: cadence proven, not promised.
Inside Prism
Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.
Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.
Where the engagement includes it, your build runs in a Prism workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.
- 01
Requests and approvals
One queue, beside the repository your team owns.
- 02
Owned tasks
Every task has one owner and a date.
- 03
Weekly review
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.
Proof
A cadence you can
set your calendar by.
We worked with PixelCrayons for around three years, with their developers becoming a genuine extension of our team. Having consistent developers who understood the work and could stay with us over the long term made a real difference to continuity and delivery.
What the pipeline carries
DevOps serves
everything you ship.
Pipelines exist to move other people's work safely. Each neighbour here is a service in its own right, built by the same team the pipeline was.
01All DevelopmentThe hub: web, commerce and the engineering disciplines around them, one senior team.02Back-End DevelopmentData models, auth and business logic: the systems your infrastructure exists to run.03QA & TestingThe suites and release gates your pipeline enforces: testing as a service, for anyone's code.04MigrationsPlatform and host moves with zero data loss: cutover and rollback discipline at its most acute.05PerformanceBudgets enforced in CI and regressions caught before release: speed the pipeline protects.
Need the team as well as the pipeline?
DevOps work often surfaces the deeper wish: a delivery capability, not just delivery plumbing. Dedicated teams ship with the pipeline discipline built in, under your brand or ours.

Before you sign
Our commitments
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
Response and start times
We typically respond within four business hours. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published company holidays. Typical expectations, not guaranteed service levels.
Full terms30-Day Corrective Maintenance
Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Development engagements only; not marketing services or retainers.

All engagements. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
Full termsHow do we know the work will be good?
Every delivery is reviewed before release by QA, your Project or Account Manager and a senior delivery lead, and you then review it against the acceptance criteria agreed at the start. Our specialists use AI to support delivery, with people responsible for reviewing the work. Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Who owns the ad accounts, the data and the work?
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.
What if we want to stop?
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
How will we know what you are doing?
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
Questions
Frequently
asked.
No. We build and improve delivery infrastructure inside your own cloud accounts, and the contracts, billing and root access stay yours. We recommend providers, set everything up and document how to run it, and DevOps as a service is available as a retainer. Leaving us never means losing your infrastructure.
Our DevOps engineering services use the mainstream tools: AWS, Azure and Google Cloud; GitHub Actions and GitLab CI; Docker and Terraform; Kubernetes where scale warrants it. Tool choice follows what your team can operate, already runs and can hire for. Where we lack senior depth in a tool you're committed to, we say so and point you elsewhere.
Probably not. Most products are best served by the least infrastructure that meets the need: a boring, well-observed deployment beats a platform your team can't operate at 2am. We'll recommend Kubernetes when the workloads justify it and say plainly when they don't, because complexity is a cost you pay every day.
Yes, and improvement is the default. Engagements start with an honest read of what you have, and what already works is left alone. The plan attacks the sharpest pain first (the flaky deploy, the missing gate, the environment drift) rather than a rebuild that pauses delivery. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm when your proposal arrives.
The pipeline is where testing becomes a mechanism: automated suites run on every merge and CI enforces the release gate, so a build that fails its checks can't ship. We build the machinery; our QA & testing service builds the strategy and suites that run inside it. Buy them together and the two teams work from one plan.
Your materials, data and accounts stay yours; agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment, and third-party software keeps its licences. Agencies can white-label DevOps, NDA-backed: we don't approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business, through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends.
The range
What it costs,
at the direct rate.
