Automation & DevOps
CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and automated deployments. Less manual work, more reliability.
Manual steps are the most common cause of outages: the forgotten update, the undocumented special configuration, the one server only a single person knows. Automation replaces that knowledge in someone's head with traceable, repeatable processes.
We automate your IT with Ansible and infrastructure as code: servers are built from descriptive templates, updates run in a controlled and documented way, new systems come up in minutes instead of days. For businesses with their own software we set up CI/CD pipelines — an automatic assembly line for code changes: every change is built and tested by the machine and only rolled out once all tests pass. Less manual work, fewer errors, faster results.
The side effect is often the most valuable part: afterwards your infrastructure is fully documented — not in an outdated wiki, but in the code itself. If someone leaves or you change providers, the knowledge stays in the company.
What this means for your business in practice
A new employee workstation comes from a template instead of an afternoon of manual setup. Updates roll out in a controlled way across all servers instead of one being forgotten. And when a machine fails, it is rebuilt from code rather than reconstructed from memory. Automation is not a mega-project: we start with whatever goes wrong most often and extend step by step.
Tools without dependency
We work with open tools — Ansible, GitLab CI, Terraform — that you can host yourself and that require no vendor contract. The processes live as readable code in your own repository. It is the same principle as with everything we build: you keep the keys, and any competent IT partner could take over.
On site in and around Schaffhausen
We prefer to do the assessment at your premises in Schaffhausen or the surrounding area — Neuhausen, Beringen, Thayngen, Stein am Rhein, Diessenhofen, the nearby part of southern Germany — because the undocumented special configuration is rarely found via remote access. The ongoing development afterwards works well remotely.
