What does a DevOps consultancy actually do?

Sets up the machinery your team ships through: CI/CD pipelines, automated testing on every change, infrastructure as code, monitoring and alerting. The goal is simple — releases so routine nobody stays late for them.

How much does DevOps consulting cost?

A one-off DevOps set-up starts from £5,000 — CI/CD, monitoring and alerting, with infrastructure as code, documented. A rolling platform retainer starts from £2,000 a month.

Will you work with our existing developers?

Yes — that's the usual shape. We set things up, document them properly and hand your team the keys; the retainer exists for teams who'd rather we stay on it, not because you're locked in.

Do we actually need DevOps at our size?

Maybe not yet — and we'll say so if that's the case. If you deploy rarely and one person knows how, you need it before that person goes on holiday. If releases already hurt — rollbacks, late nights, hotfixes on Fridays — you needed it last quarter.

How is this different from your managed cloud service?

DevOps is about how software ships; managed cloud is about keeping it running day to day. Plenty of teams need one without the other — we'll tell you which yours actually needs, or whether it's neither yet.

DevOps Consultancy UK

Every step, with a team who's done it before

If releases already hurt — rollbacks, late nights, hotfixes on a Friday — you don't need convincing, you need the machinery. We set up CI/CD, monitoring and infrastructure as code properly, document it, and hand your own developers the keys, so shipping stops being an event.

We look at how your team releases today and where it bites — rare deploys, one person who knows the ritual, hotfixes on Fridays. If you don't need DevOps at your size yet, we'll say so rather than sell you a pipeline.
Scope the pipeline

You see what gets built before committing: CI/CD, automated tests on every change, infrastructure as code, monitoring and alerting. A one-off set-up from £5,000, or a platform built from scratch from £10,000 — priced upfront.
Wire it in

We build it in stages — a pipeline that builds, tests and deploys every change, infrastructure as code committed to your repo, logs and alerts in one place. Then we document it properly and hand your team the keys.
Keep it boring

Because it's documented and lives in your repo, your developers can run it without us — that's the intent. If you'd rather we stayed on it, a platform retainer starts from £2,000 a month. Kept on by choice, never locked in.

Pipelines behind shipping products

Skamper's running app releasing across iOS, Android and web from one ongoing team, a quest platform serving multiple UK cities from a single Django backend, and a peer-support app running on Firebase and AWS. Good DevOps is invisible — you only notice the weeks it saves.

Skamper

A running app for a UK running company — a cross-platform app that helps runners discover thousands of verified routes across Britain, race them on demand and track every run.

Go Quest Adventures

The platform behind Go Quest Adventures' self-guided city treasure hunts — mobile app, marketing website and Django backend — built and maintained by CodeLeap so teams can play across UK cities and the client can run the business.

The tech

The pipeline tools behind boring releases — what our shipped products deploy through, and the infrastructure platforms we work with.

CI/CD pipelines

Every change builds, tests and deploys through a pipeline; Skamper's app ships steady releases across iOS, Android and web from one team.
AWS

Most of our production infrastructure is AWS we run for clients — pipelines deploy to environments we've hardened and documented.
Google Cloud & Firebase

We've shipped and run products on Google Cloud and Firebase — the pipeline treats every environment as code, whichever cloud.
Terraform

We work with Terraform for infrastructure as code — your environments rebuildable from the repo, not from someone's memory.
Docker & Kubernetes

We work with Docker and Kubernetes where scale demands them — most SME workloads honestly don't, and we'll say so.
Django & Python

A single Django backend serves Go Quest's platform across multiple UK cities — good DevOps often means fewer moving parts, not more.
Monitoring & alerting

Logs, metrics and alerts land in one place — a deploy you can't observe is a deploy you can't trust.
And much more

This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.

What our clients are saying

Real reviews from clients we have delivered for, on Clutch and elsewhere.

4.9 via Clutch

The enthusiasm, understanding of our mission, and passion from the first few minutes of the call were the deciding factors in choosing CodeLeap. Within 3 months of our app launching, we had over 1,500 downloads, appeared in leading publications from Forbes, The Metro, Marie Claire, Women's Fitness and many more, and started raising further investment.

Charlie CEO, Becon
They are incredibly diligent in the quality of work they produce, and go above and beyond when it comes to solving issues faced within the project, and to ensure we meet strict project deadlines. You never feel like you are one of many clients, and they ensure they are always there to help with any need you have, no matter how big or small.

Amelia Parmiter Marketing Manager, AWS - Marble
CodeLeap made me feel like my options were limitless in terms of what could be achieved, which was critical to me as we were creating something very unique. I'm glad I chose Codeleap over a large corporation as the personable approach resulted in a smooth and pleasant experience.

James CEO, Bearable
Working with CodeLeap was a very good experience from both a professional and personal point of view. These people know what they are doing and are both efficient and clever and made a good partner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CodeLeap.

John CEO, Neurometrics-Diab
CodeLeap adds so much value and goes above and beyond what I expected. CodeLeap's team is very flexible with all the different requests we've put in front of them. They've also been great with the whole business side of things, and being able to forecast for this industry is really helpful. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with their work — they've been incredibly helpful.

Johanne CEO, Cherry
Their flexibility and focus on quality were outstanding.

Mike Fenna CTO, Kite Insights
Marcelo has been wonderful throughout the process and we are very happy.
