The devops workshop
that keeps prod running.

CODE79 is a devops workshop based in Belgium, in Brabant wallon, half an hour from Brussels. We build pipelines, run clusters, tame Postgres databases, and wire up the observability that goes with them. No slides, no corporate promises — just systems that hold up in production.

What we actually do.

Six playgrounds where CODE79 operates — long-term missions, one-off audits, or ad-hoc consulting.

ci/cd & gitops

GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins pipelines. ArgoCD/Flux deployments. Automated testing, releases, rollback.
