CI/CD & Delivery, on Azure DevOps or GitHub
If releases need a board meeting and a weekend, the problem is not your engineers, it is the path to production. Our DevOps consultancy rebuilds that path with CI/CD, automation and observability, on Azure DevOps or GitHub, so shipping becomes routine instead of an event.
CI/CD · Automation · Working Practices
You can tell how healthy an engineering organisation is by asking one question: how does a small change get to production? If the answer involves a spreadsheet, a fortnightly release board and a weekend, the cost is not just speed. It is every improvement that never got proposed because shipping it felt like an ordeal.
Our DevOps engagements exist to change that answer. The visible deliverables are pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, infrastructure defined in Bicep or Terraform, automated testing and security scanning as gates, and environments that build themselves. The real deliverable is a team that ships small changes daily and no longer schedules deployments around fear.
We are deliberately fluent in both toolchains. Azure DevOps remains the right answer for many enterprises, GitHub Actions is where Microsoft's investment is heading, and plenty of estates run both during a long transition. The comparison below is the honest conversation, and we will happily run either well rather than argue religion.
Working practices carry half the value: trunk-based development, pull request discipline, ephemeral test environments and delivery metrics that make improvement visible to leadership. We pair with your engineers rather than lecture them, and the engagement ends with your team owning the pipelines, not renting them from us.
There is also a new reason to get this right now. Coding agents are starting to write a meaningful share of the code moving through pipelines, and a delivery platform designed for humans typing needs rethinking for agents proposing: review gates that scale, test generation in CI, and audit trails for what agents changed. That work is our agentic development practice, and the strongest results come when the pipeline uplift and the agent adoption land together.
Azure DevOps and GitHub, delivered with Microsoft rigour
Stand up or modernise your delivery platform on either toolchain: Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Test Plans and Artifacts on Azure DevOps, or repositories, Actions, Projects and Advanced Security on GitHub.
Provision and manage cloud-based and on-premises production environments with consistent, repeatable processes that reduce configuration drift and operational risk.
Agile project management with GIT integration, enabling teams to plan, track, and collaborate on work items while maintaining full traceability from requirements to deployed code.
Azure App Service deployment and lifecycle automation that streamlines application updates, scaling, and management across development, staging, and production environments.
AI integration into development pipelines that enhances code quality, automates testing, and provides intelligent insights to accelerate delivery and reduce defects.
To a golden-path pipeline used across teams
Deployments auditable end-to-end
The release cadence teams reach when deploying stops hurting
Toolchains we run fluently: Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions
Implement Azure DevOps or GitHub with sensible defaults, from work tracking through pipelines to package management, so engineering teams can focus on product, not plumbing.
Build opinionated pipelines for App Service, AKS, Azure Functions, Databricks and Fabric, covering build, test, security scan and multi-environment release.
Adopt Bicep, Terraform or Pulumi with PR-based workflows so infrastructure changes are reviewed, tested and reversible.
Modernise legacy Jenkins, Octopus or classic Azure Pipelines onto GitHub Actions or YAML pipelines with reusable workflows.
Shift security left with SAST, SCA, secret scanning, IaC scanning and policy-as-code embedded in the pipeline, not bolted on at the end.
Deliver auditable change processes with approvals, change tickets, evidence capture and segregation of duties baked into pipelines.
Review current branching, build, release and change practices across teams to identify the highest-impact improvements.
Define target branching, environment, pipeline, security and observability standards: the golden path for your teams.
Implement reusable pipelines, IaC modules and policy-as-code, and migrate the first workloads onto the new platform.
Onboard teams, coach engineers, measure DORA metrics and iterate so the platform keeps getting better.
Toolchain Choice
Both are Microsoft products, both are excellent, and both will be around for years. The choice is about your teams and your estate, not about picking the winner, and plenty of organisations rightly run both during a long transition.
| Criteria | Azure DevOps | GitHub Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Strongest at | Enterprise project management: Boards, Test Plans, release governance | Developer experience, open-source ecosystem and marketplace actions |
| Pipelines | Mature YAML pipelines with deep gate and approval controls | Fast-moving workflows with reusable actions and matrix builds |
| Governance & audit | Built for regulated change: approvals, evidence, segregation of duties | Strong and improving, with rulesets and environments |
| Microsoft's investment | Maintained, stable, no end-of-life announced | Where the new energy and AI tooling (Copilot) lands first |
| Best when | Regulated enterprises with heavy work-tracking needs | Product engineering teams who live in the repository |
Our honest guidance: if you are deep in Azure DevOps and it works, stay and modernise the pipelines; if you are starting fresh or your engineers already live in GitHub, choose Actions. Migrations between the two are well-trodden ground for us, and either way the working practices matter more than the logo on the pipeline.
Both. We routinely deliver on Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise and hybrid setups, and we help clients choose the right long-term target – or migrate between the two where it makes sense.
A typical engagement runs 6–12 weeks to establish a golden-path pipeline, IaC pattern and security baseline, with one or two workloads migrated. Wider rollout across an engineering organisation is usually a 3–9 month programme we can lead or support.
We use the DORA metrics – deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and mean time to restore – alongside developer experience and security posture metrics. We baseline them before build and track improvement transparently.
Yes. We integrate SAST, SCA, secret scanning, IaC scanning (Checkov, tfsec, PSRule), container scanning and policy-as-code (OPA, Azure Policy) so every change is evaluated automatically against your security standards.
Yes. We regularly migrate Jenkins, TeamCity, Bamboo, Octopus Deploy and classic Azure Pipelines estates onto modern YAML pipelines or GitHub Actions, re-using as much existing configuration as possible to minimise disruption.
Yes. Synapx-as-a-Service includes ongoing platform engineering – pipeline maintenance, runner / agent operations, security updates and developer support – so your teams keep moving while core plumbing is looked after.

From the very first conversation, Synapx stood out. They didn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution; they listened, understood our workflows, and constructively challenged our assumptions. Since launch, the difference has been night and day: engagement is up, performance is dramatically better, and our teams now have a single, connected space for learning and communication. I'd recommend Synapx to any organisation looking to get more out of Microsoft technology.
