The Matrix Bricks team helped us migrate a website from Drupal to Hubspot. They were responsible for utilizing the Hubspot CMS to create page templates, developing custom code, and migrating content. Matrix Bricks provided excellent project management, handling resources, meetings, invoices, and scheduling efficiently. Their communication was always prompt and clear. They were very easy to work with and seamlessly became an extension of our own team.

Anshum Shankhdhar's Review Sourced from Google
Working here feels like joining an elite squad of tech theurgist. The office has just the right mix of productivity and chaos to make every day exciting, like a Silicon Valley sitcom.Management actually listens (shocking, I know), teammates are helpful (and sometimes funny on purpose), and the Wi-Fi almost never dies (miraculous).Whether you're debugging errors or just debugging your life, this place gives you room to grow, experiment, and occasionally break things, in the name of innovation, of course.Highly recommend, unless you’re allergic to fun, food (devil popcorn) or good vibes.

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Right DevOps Services in the US
What can the right company do for business?
Top DevOps consulting companies in the US embed best practices, culture shifts, and modern toolsets.
In doing so, they help businesses streamline operations, enhance organizational agility, and align technical workflows with overarching business objectives.
In fact, GitLab’s DevSecOp study reported that 34% of businesses state that they have more secure applications, and 33% say they have faster iteration cycles.
Additionally, 26% mentioned that they have better code quality, greater developer productivity, and improved time to market.
DORA’s report further confirms this.
Elite performers are observed to achieve a lead time for changes of less than one day and on-demand deployment frequency, with the capacity to deploy multiple times a day.
They also maintain a 5% change failure rate and a 60-minute failed deployment recovery time.
By contrast, low performers have a lead time for changes of 1-6 months, and a deployment frequency between once per month and once every six months.
They also have a 40% change failure rate and a failed deployment recovery time of 1-4 weeks.
What ROI can businesses expect from DevOps?
The return on investment (ROI) from DevOps hinges on the existing IT infrastructure, desired outcomes, the business size and model, initial investment costs, and rate of adoption.
According to Forrester’s Total Economic Impact (TEI) reports for platforms like GitLab and Atlassian Open DevOps, the potential ROI of DevOps can range between 358% and 483%.
Some of the key risk-adjusted present value quantified benefits include:
- Up to 20% increase in developer productivity by automating low-value tasks and gaining better visibility through integrated toolchains.
- Up to 75% faster developer onboarding to full productivity through standardized workflows, processes, and documentation.
- Up to 50% increase in delivered features and 10% improvement in code quality due to streamlined processes and higher team collaboration.
- 25%-30% reduction in software licensing costs, as organizations consolidate their toolchain, decrease shadow IT, and remove redundant technology.
- Security efficiencies improve, with 81% less effort required to maintain issue-free software by integrating security protocols/scanning throughout the SDLC.
What questions should be asked before hiring?
Before hiring a company in the USA, ask these questions to validate business and project fit:
Relevant Background
- What DevOps technologies and methodologies do you specialize in?
- Can you provide case studies or client references relevant to our industry, business size, and project complexity?
- How familiar are you with our regulatory environment, and how will you assist us in meeting compliance requirements?
Services and Processes
- Can you walk me through your end-to-end DevOps process, including toolchain selection, system migration, implementation, and optimization?
- How do you approach quality assurance and operational and delivery security?
- What are your post-implementation services?
Related to Your Project
- What are the biggest risks in our project, and what are your plans to mitigate these?
- How will you integrate DevOps into our existing IT infrastructure and business workflows without disrupting critical operations?
- How do you define, measure, and report success in DevOps implementation?
- What change management and enablement do you provide?
How to choose the best company for business?
To choose the best company for your business, compare the company’s expertise and experience with your needs and objectives. Here are some steps to guide you in your selection:
- Clarify your requirements
Conduct an initial assessment, define your priorities, set your short-term and long-term goals, and establish your success metrics, budget, and timeline. - List potential partners
Search for DevOps consulting firms with experience in your domain, industry, and business model by looking at their case studies, client references, and tech stack. - Do a background check
Review the firm’s certifications, list of awards and recognitions, and client reviews and testimonials to evaluate its service quality and reliability. - Issue a detailed request for proposal
Include your company background, technical requirements, target outcomes, budget band, timeline, milestones, and service level objectives in your RFP. - Arrange for a meeting
Meet with your top DevOps candidates to learn more about their processes, project management approach, security practices, and team culture. - Request a demonstration
Ask if the DevOps consulting firm offers an initial assessment or a 30-day service trial period to ensure the right fit before signing a long-term agreement.

- Toolchain selection and integration: Choosing and integrating tools for cloud, CI/CD, monitoring/observability, security, and IaC that align with the target architecture.
- IaC adoption and environment automation: Treating infrastructure like software by defining environments in version-controlled code to automate provisioning and reduce configuration drift.
- CI/CD pipeline implementation: Setting up or refining CI/CD pipelines, including release strategies (e.g., canary release or blue-green deployments) and automated build/test/deploy gates.
- Containerization and orchestration: Standardizing application packaging and deployments to reduce environment inconsistency.
- Security and compliance implementation: Applying security practices across the CI/CD pipeline and toolchains and producing compliance documentation when required.
- Observability and reliability practices: Implementing monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and incident-response workflows to enhance system reliability and recovery.
- Knowledge transfer and team enablement: Training users on the DevOps tools, processes, and culture to sustain adoption.
- Continuous optimization: Conducting ongoing audits and enhancements to improve system speed, security, reliability, and resilience.
