∞ DevOps Checklist
Who is this for?
New Companies
You're a startup at the very beginning of your journey. You need a solid foundation to build on.
Cloud Setup Needed
You're a startup that needs a cloud setup to get started. You need a solid foundation to build on.
DevOps Hobbyists, Not Pros
You get the idea of DevOps, but you don't have the time or expertise to implement it yourself.
Full-time DevOps Skeptic
You're not convinced that a fulltime DevOps role is needed for your company. You want to keep your team focused on building your product.

Frequently Asked Questions
KickOps is a complete DevOps setup that includes:
- Production-ready Kubernetes setup on AWS
- CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
- Monitoring and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki
- Security best practices and scanning
- Local development environment
- Comprehensive documentation and guides
Everything is pre-configured and ready to use, saving you months of DevOps work.
Very little! KickOps is designed to be usable by developers with minimal DevOps experience. We provide comprehensive documentation and guides to help you get started. For the Builder and Perfectionist tiers, we also offer setup assistance and training sessions to ensure you're comfortable with the tools and processes.
Absolutely! The boilerplate is designed to be customizable while maintaining best practices. You can add your own services, modify the infrastructure, and adapt the setup to your specific needs. The code is well-documented and follows a modular structure, making it easy to understand and modify.
The boilerplate is designed for AWS, as it's the most widely used cloud provider with the most comprehensive set of services. However, the infrastructure is defined using Pulumi, which supports multiple cloud providers. With some adaptation, you could modify it to work with GCP, Azure, or other providers. If you're in the Perfectionist tier, we can help you with this transition.
The infrastructure costs depend on your workload and usage patterns. For a typical early-stage startup, you can expect to pay $200-500/month on AWS for the complete setup, including development, staging, and production environments. We include cost optimization best practices and tools for monitoring and controlling your cloud spend.
We offer additional consulting and implementation services beyond what is included in the standard tiers. The Perfectionist tier includes 20 hours with a DevOps expert, and you can purchase additional hours as needed. We're committed to your success and can provide ongoing support to ensure your infrastructure meets your needs as you grow.
