DevOps and cloud engineering that keeps your product moving
If you are responsible for a digital product, you do not just need "some servers". You need an environment where deployments are predictable, performance is stable, incidents are rare, and your team is not terrified to push a release on a Friday.
BYBOWU is a Phoenix, AZ based web, app, and cloud engineering team working with companies across the US and internationally. We help founders, product leaders, and ops teams build practical DevOps foundations: CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and performance testing that match how your business actually runs.
Common problems we fix
Most clients come to us with one or more of these issues:
- Releases are manual, stressful, and take too many people and late nights.
- Production incidents are hard to debug because logs, metrics, and alerts are scattered or missing.
- Infrastructure costs keep climbing, but no one is sure what is safe to turn off.
- Staging and test environments are inconsistent, so bugs slip into production.
- Existing cloud setup grew organically, with security rules and access control that no one fully trusts.
- Performance degrades under load, and there is no clear plan for scaling or capacity.
Our goal is to replace that uncertainty with a clear, observable, and automated platform so you can focus on product and customers, not infrastructure drama.
How we approach DevOps and cloud for your team
We treat DevOps as a product in itself, aligned with your business priorities, not as a pile of scripts. The steps are straightforward, and you always know what is happening.
- Environment and process audit. We start with a short assessment of your current infrastructure, deployment process, tooling, and team workflows. We identify quick wins and structural issues in how you build and ship.
- Architecture and roadmap. Based on your growth plans, compliance needs, and budget, we propose a target cloud architecture and DevOps roadmap. This can include work from our focused services like Cloud Infrastructure Setup and CI/CD Pipelines & Release Automation.
- Implementation and automation. We build or refactor your infrastructure using battle-tested patterns, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD tooling. Releases become repeatable, with rollbacks that are actually used instead of feared.
- Monitoring, observability, and performance. We put proper health checks, logging, tracing, and alerts in place, often together with our Monitoring & Observability and Load Testing & Performance Validation services.
- Knowledge transfer and support. We document what we build, walk your team through it, and, if you want, stay on to maintain and evolve your platform alongside your product roadmap.
What you get as concrete deliverables
Every DevOps and cloud engagement results in tangible assets your team can rely on, not just advice:
- Clear architecture diagrams for your environments and data flows.
- Infrastructure-as-code (for example, Terraform or similar tools) so your stack is reproducible, not click-configured.
- Automated CI/CD pipelines wired to your repositories so you can ship more often with less risk.
- Defined environments (dev, stage, production) with consistent configurations and access policies.
- Monitoring, logging, and alert rules integrated with your preferred channels, so incidents are noticed early.
- Performance and load test reports with concrete recommendations.
- Documentation and runbooks for common tasks and incident response.
What you can order
- CI/CD pipeline setup — Implementation of automated build, test, and deployment pipelines for your main services, including branching strategy, environment promotion, and basic rollback paths. Pairs well with CI/CD Pipelines & Release Automation.
- Cloud infrastructure foundation — A secure, scalable base environment in your chosen cloud provider, with networking, environments, access control, and cost visibility. Often combined with our Cloud Infrastructure Setup service.
- Containerization and orchestration — Packaging existing apps into containers and preparing them for orchestrators such as Kubernetes, including local development workflows. See also Docker & Kubernetes Enablement.
- Monitoring and incident readiness — End-to-end monitoring and observability setup, alert policies, dashboards, and incident runbooks, built on top of your current or new tools. Related to our Monitoring & Observability offer.
- Performance and load testing — Targeted performance and stress tests for your critical APIs or user flows, plus tuning recommendations so you can handle traffic spikes with confidence. Delivered alongside Load Testing & Performance Validation.
- Ongoing DevOps support — A retainer for continuous improvements, incident response help, and support for your product team as you scale features and traffic, often paired with our Support & Maintenance services.
How engagement works with BYBOWU
Your team is busy, so we keep the collaboration predictable and light on ceremony.
- 1. Short intro call. We walk through your current stack, pain points, and timelines. If there is a good fit, we move into a scoped discovery.
- 2. Discovery and proposal. You get a clear proposal with target outcomes, deliverables, and phased options, often within one business day. You can also review typical ranges on our Prices page.
- 3. Build in focused phases. We tackle infrastructure and process improvements in sensible chunks, usually starting with the biggest risks, and keep you updated without dragging you into low-level details.
- 4. Rollout and validation. We roll changes out carefully, validate monitoring and tests, and adjust based on how your team actually uses the system.
- 5. Iterate or hand over. We can continue as your DevOps partner, or hand over with documentation and training if you plan to run things internally.
If you prefer in-person workshops, we can meet in Phoenix. If your team is elsewhere in the US or abroad, we run everything smoothly over video calls and async channels.
Why choose BYBOWU for DevOps & cloud engineering
- Product-aware, not tool-obsessed. We connect infrastructure decisions to what matters for you: faster releases, fewer incidents, better performance, and a cleaner path to revenue.
- Development and operations under one roof. Because we also build web applications and mobile apps, we understand the realities of your codebase, not just the infrastructure around it.
- Senior people in the room. You work with engineers and consultants who can talk architecture, process, and business trade-offs, not just YAML and dashboards.
- Security, performance, and cost in balance. We do not chase exotic architectures if a simpler setup is safer and easier to run for your team.
- Long-term partner, if you want one. Many clients start with a focused DevOps project and then keep us on to support future launches, new regions, or product lines.
Proof it works in the real world
Marketplace with stable high-traffic releases
For a modern clothing marketplace, we helped the team stabilize their release process and cloud setup, so they could push site improvements without risking checkout failures. See project details.
Tactical ecommerce platform scale-up
On a tactical apparel marketplace, we prepared the infrastructure to handle growing catalogs and traffic, supporting a smoother catalog experience and higher conversion. See project details.
Real-estate matchmaking platform reliability
For a roommate-finder web app, we focused on stable environments and monitoring so the team could keep iterating on matching features without destabilizing the core platform. See project details.
B2B dropshipping portal operations
We supported a B2B wholesaler and dropshipping platform with a more structured environment and release process, reducing risk for suppliers and resellers who rely on accurate product data. See project details.
Questions founders usually ask
What budgets do you typically work with for DevOps?
Budgets vary depending on scope. A focused CI/CD or monitoring setup is at the lower end, full infrastructure redesign or multi-environment rollouts sit in the middle, and complex, multi-service or multi-region platforms are higher. Share your constraints and we will design a phase 1 that fits. Typical ranges are outlined on our Prices page.
How long does a typical DevOps project take?
A focused engagement like a single CI/CD pipeline or monitoring setup can often be delivered in 2–4 weeks. Broader work like full cloud foundations or containerization for several services usually runs 4–8 weeks or more, depending on your stack and internal availability. We confirm realistic milestones before we start.
Can you work with our existing cloud provider and tools?
Yes. We generally work within your existing cloud provider and preferred tools where it makes sense. If something is clearly blocking you, we will explain the trade-offs and suggest alternatives, but we do not force a rewrite if it is not justified.
Will there be downtime while you change our infrastructure?
Our default approach is to build and test changes in separate environments, then migrate traffic in a controlled way. Some changes may require short maintenance windows, but we plan them with you, communicate clearly, and aim to keep user impact close to zero.
How do you handle security and access control?
We follow practical security basics by default: least-privilege access, separated environments, key and secret management, and auditability for critical operations. We can also coordinate with your internal security or compliance team if you have specific requirements.
What happens after the initial project is finished?
You choose. Some clients keep us on a small retainer for ongoing DevOps support and improvements. Others prefer a clean handover with documentation and training, then use us on-demand for larger roadmap items. Either way, you are not locked into a black-box managed service.
Talk through your DevOps and cloud priorities
If you have a specific issue, like unstable releases or unclear cloud costs, we can usually outline an approach, rough budget, and timeline within one business day.
If you are still figuring out priorities, we are happy to review your current setup and suggest a practical sequence of improvements, from quick wins to longer-term foundations.
