Docker & DevOps Service
Docker containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment infrastructure for your applications. From local development to production.
Ship Faster With Proper DevOps
Most startups deploy manually — SSH into a server, pull the latest code, restart the service, and pray. This works until it does not. One bad deploy can take down your application for hours, and without automated rollback, you are scrambling to fix forward under pressure while your users see error pages.
Proper DevOps gives you confidence: automated builds, automated tests, automated deployments, and the ability to roll back in seconds. But setting up CI/CD pipelines, Docker configurations, and monitoring takes engineering time that most startups would rather spend on product features. The irony is that investing in deployment infrastructure early saves far more time than it costs.
Docker solves the "works on my machine" problem permanently. When your application runs in a container, it runs the same way everywhere — on your laptop, in staging, and in production. No more debugging environment differences, no more missing dependencies, no more Python version conflicts between developers.
The gap between a working Docker setup and a production-grade deployment pipeline is larger than most teams realize. You need multi-stage builds to keep images small, health checks so orchestrators can restart failed containers, proper logging that aggregates across services, secrets management that keeps credentials out of your code, and monitoring that tells you when something breaks.
Our team has containerized and deployed dozens of applications — from single services to microservice architectures. Through AsyncForge, we set up the infrastructure so your team can deploy with confidence. Push to main, watch the tests run, and see your changes live in minutes, not hours.
What You Get
Docker Configuration
Optimized Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds and proper caching. We write Dockerfiles that produce small, secure images — separating build dependencies from runtime, using proper base images, and ordering layers for maximum cache efficiency. A well-written Dockerfile can cut your build times in half and your image sizes by 80%.
Docker Compose
Local development environments that mirror production exactly. We create Docker Compose configurations that let your entire team run the full application stack with a single command. Database, cache, background workers, and application servers all start together with proper networking and volume mounts for hot reloading.
CI/CD Pipelines
GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for automated testing and deployment. We build pipelines that run your test suite on every push, build Docker images on every merge to main, and deploy to your hosting environment automatically. Failed tests block deployment, and every deployment is tagged with the commit that triggered it for easy traceability.
Production Deployment
CapRover, Vercel, AWS, or self-hosted deployment with proper configuration. We configure your production environment with proper health checks, graceful shutdowns, connection pooling, and resource limits. Whether you use a PaaS like CapRover or manage your own servers, we ensure your application runs reliably under real traffic.
Monitoring & Logging
Application monitoring with Sentry, Prometheus, and centralized logging. We set up error tracking that captures exceptions with full context, performance monitoring that identifies slow endpoints, and centralized logging that lets you search across all your services. You find out about problems before your users report them.
Environment Management
Proper secrets management and environment-specific configurations. We implement secure handling of API keys, database credentials, and other secrets — never stored in code, never committed to git, and different for each environment. Environment variables are documented, validated at startup, and managed through your hosting platform or a dedicated secrets manager.
Technologies We Use
How It Works With AsyncForge
Audit your deployment
We review your current deployment process and identify improvements. This includes examining how you build, test, and ship code today, what breaks most often, and where manual steps create risk. You get a prioritized list of improvements ranked by impact and effort.
Containerize
Docker configuration for all your services with local dev environments. We containerize your application, database, and any supporting services so your entire stack runs consistently across all environments. Your team gets a one-command setup that works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Set up CI/CD
Automated pipelines for testing and deployment on every push. We configure your CI provider to run tests, build images, and deploy to staging or production based on your branching strategy. Preview deployments for pull requests let your team review changes in a real environment before merging.
Monitor and maintain
Alerting, logging, and monitoring so you know about problems before your users do. We set up dashboards that show application health, error rates, and performance metrics. Alerts notify you via Slack or email when something needs attention, and runbooks document how to respond to common issues.
