PQ Angels helps engineering teams ship more often, with fewer incidents, on infrastructure that costs less. From CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes, from observability to DevSecOps, we engineer the delivery layer that modern software depends on.
Capabilities
Five capability areas. One delivery team
Whether you are starting from a spec or stepping in for a stalled tape-out, PQ Angels has the engineering depth to take ownership.
Our capabilities span the entire VLSI flow.
CI/CD Implementation
- Pipeline design on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI
- Build, test, and deploy automation
- Multi-environment promotion flows
- Artifact management and versioning
- Rollback and progressive delivery patterns
Cloud & Infrastructure Management
Scalable, secure, highly available infrastructure on the cloud of your choice. We design for what you actually run, not for an architecture diagram.
- AWS, Azure, and GCP architecture and operations
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform and Pulumi
- Multi-account and multi-region setups
- Cost optimization and FinOps practices
- Migration from on-premise to cloud, and between clouds
Containerization & Orchestration
Scalable, portable container-based application deployment. We containerize what makes sense, leave alone what does not, and operate the platform end to end.
- Docker image design and optimization
- Kubernetes cluster setup and operations
- Service mesh implementation
- Helm chart development and GitOps with Argo CD or Flux
- EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters
Monitoring & Performance Optimization
Reliable systems built on continuous performance monitoring. You cannot operate what you cannot see. We build the observability layer that makes incidents shorter and root causes findable.
- Metrics, logs, and tracing setup
- Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Datadog, New Relic
- SLO and SLI design
- Incident response process and runbooks
- Performance tuning at application and infrastructure layers
Security & DevSecOps
Secure, compliant deployments across the development lifecycle. Security shifts left and stays there. Our DevSecOps work bakes scanning, policy, and audit into the pipeline.
- SAST, DAST, SCA, and IaC scanning
- Secret management with Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or equivalent
- Image scanning and admission control
- Policy as code with OPA and Kyverno
- Compliance support for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA
How we engage
A flow built for tape-out predictability
Assessment
We audit your current pipelines, infrastructure, and observability. You get a written report with prioritized findings.
Roadmap
A delivery roadmap that sequences quick wins ahead of larger architectural changes.
Build
Implementation in tight cycles. Each deliverable is production-ready, not a prototype.
Handover or operate
Some clients take operations back in-house once we hand over. Others ask us to operate the platform. Both work.

FAQs
Common questions
We have a working CI/CD setup. Why would we need help?
Most working CI/CD setups have grown organically and carry hidden cost: long build times, brittle test stages, manual deployment steps, or unclear rollback paths. A short assessment usually surfaces enough to justify a focused engagement.
Do you operate platforms post-handover?
Yes. We offer managed DevOps engagements where we run the platform on your behalf with agreed SLOs.
Can you support a multi-cloud or hybrid setup?
Yes. We have delivered across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and we work with on-prem and hybrid topologies where they make sense.
How do you measure DevOps success?
We track the DORA metrics: lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, and mean time to restore. We agree on baselines and targets at kickoff.
Do you help with FinOps and cloud cost?
Yes. Cloud cost is usually 20 to 40 percent over what it needs to be. We run cost reviews as part of every infrastructure engagement.
Want releases that are faster and incidents that are shorter?
Start with a DevOps assessment. We will give you a report you can act on, even if you do not engage us further.
