CI/CD pipelines
Build, test, scan and deploy on GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions or Jenkins, with approval gates and artefacts traceable to a commit.

DevOps as a Service
Aqvantiq provides DevOps as a Service to companies in Thailand: we design and run your CI/CD pipelines, put your infrastructure into Terraform, operate Kubernetes, and hand your team something they can maintain. Senior engineers, in English, from Kuala Lumpur with onsite time in Bangkok.

What you get with DevOps as a Service
A delivery pipeline your team trusts, infrastructure defined in code rather than in a colleague's memory, and a Kubernetes platform that behaves the same in every environment. This is an engineering engagement, not an advisory retainer: the output is code, pipelines, dashboards and runbooks in your repositories.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform modules with remote state and locking, a plan on every merge request, and scheduled drift checks.
Kubernetes and containers
Cluster design, namespace and RBAC layout, autoscaling, ingress, image standards, and rollbacks that need no war room.
Observability
Metrics, logs and alerts wired to the failure modes that actually occur. An alert that leads to no action gets deleted, not muted.
Secrets and access
Credentials out of CI variables into a secret store, OIDC instead of long-lived keys, least-privilege roles per environment.
Handover
Runbooks, an architecture note and a live walkthrough. Your team should be able to run it without us.
What happens in the first 90 days
We assess before we rebuild, then deliver in visible increments. A typical first quarter moves one real service through a new pipeline, brings the environments under Terraform, and ends with a handover your engineers attend. Nothing switches over in production until the rollback path has been rehearsed.
- Weeks 1–2
Assessment
Repository, pipeline and infrastructure review; a ranked risk list; target architecture; scope agreed in writing.
- Weeks 3–6
First pipeline
One real service end to end into non-production — build, test, scan, deploy, rollback rehearsed.
- Weeks 7–10
Infrastructure as Code
Environments rebuilt from Terraform, state on a remote backend, secrets relocated, cloud access on short-lived credentials.
- Weeks 11–12
Kubernetes and handover
Workloads onto Kubernetes where they belong, alerting live, runbooks written, walkthrough delivered.
GitLab, Terraform and Kubernetes — all daily tools
GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions and Jenkins for delivery. Terraform for infrastructure. Kubernetes and Docker for workloads. On the platform side: AWS, Google Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Azure and DigitalOcean. We resell none of them, so tool selection is a technical argument rather than a margin decision.
Pipelines
Runner fleets, caching and artefact retention treated as design decisions, not defaults.
Infrastructure
Modules written to be read by your team, plans reviewed like application code, state locking from day one.
Deployment targets in Thailand
AWS ap-southeast-7, Google Cloud asia-southeast3, or Huawei Cloud’s Thailand infrastructure, where residency requires it.

How a Bangkok team works with engineers in Kuala Lumpur
The same way your own distributed teams already do, with one hour of difference. Bangkok is UTC+7 and Kuala Lumpur is UTC+8, so working days overlap almost completely. Work happens in your repositories through merge requests, with a written status each week and onsite blocks in Bangkok for kickoff and cutover.
- Everything lands in your Git, your cloud accounts and your ticket system. We keep no private copy.
- Access is through named, least-privilege roles in your identity provider — revocable by you, without asking us.
- Change windows follow your calendar, including the Thai public holidays that freeze enterprise change in practice.
- Where a Thai prime contractor owns the relationship, we deliver the technical scope and report to their cadence.
DevOps as a Service versus a Bangkok hire
Not always, and we will say so. If you have permanent, full-time platform work, hire — then use us to set the standard and hand it over. If you need senior capability now, for a defined outcome, without a hiring cycle, an outside team is the faster route.
Four things decide it: time to start, seniority on the work, what you keep afterwards, and cost shape. A hire compounds context and is worth it when there is a full year of platform work; staff augmentation sits between the two and loses continuity when the contract ends.

DevOps as a Service in Thailand — frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer?
Ask it directly and an engineer answers, usually the same working day.
Ask an engineer What do you actually get with DevOps as a Service?
A delivery pipeline your team trusts, infrastructure defined in code rather than in a colleague’s memory, and a Kubernetes platform that behaves the same in every environment. This is an engineering engagement, not an advisory retainer: the output is code, pipelines, dashboards and runbooks in your own repositories.
Do we have to change cloud provider to use DevOps as a Service?
No. We work with what you run today — AWS, Google Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean or on-premises virtual machines. Pipelines, Terraform and Kubernetes practice transfer across all of them. If a platform move later makes sense, that is a separate conversation and a separate scope: see cloud migration in Thailand.
Who owns the pipelines and Terraform code you write?
You do. Everything is committed to your Git repositories in your own GitLab, GitHub or Bitbucket, under standard open tooling. Aqvantiq operates no proprietary platform, charges no per-seat licence, and leaves nothing behind that requires us to keep it running. Lock-in is a business model we deliberately do not have.
Can you work with our Thai-speaking engineering team?
Yes. Code, pipelines, Terraform and runbooks are written in English, which is how Thai enterprise IT teams typically document infrastructure. Day-to-day coordination normally runs through a bilingual technical lead on your side, and onsite sessions in Bangkok are used for the parts that go faster face to face.
Is the 90-day plan fixed?
No. The sequence holds; the calendar moves with the estate. A single product team with one application is faster; a bank-grade change process with fortnightly windows is slower. We size it during the assessment and say so plainly rather than compressing a plan to win the work.
How do you price DevOps as a Service in Thailand?
Two shapes. A fixed-scope project for a defined outcome — a pipeline, a Terraform landing zone, a Kubernetes platform — or a monthly retainer sized to the number of environments and services we look after. Both are quoted after the assessment, so the number is based on your estate rather than a guess.
Can you run a GitLab instance for us, or migrate one?
Yes. GitLab instance management and migration is part of what we do: self-managed instance administration, upgrade paths, runner fleets, and consolidation of scattered instances or groups onto a single one. It sits alongside the pipeline work rather than being a separate practice.
Can one engagement cover our Thai and Malaysian entities?
Yes, and it usually should. One Terraform codebase, one pipeline convention and one escalation path across both countries, so a Bangkok environment and a Kuala Lumpur one do not drift apart. The Malaysian page is DevOps as a Service (Malaysia); the engineers are the same either way.
