Services
Infrastructure & scaling
Reliable hosting, deployment pipelines, and observability so your software stays fast and available in defined environments, not only on a developer laptop.
Who this is for
You have a product in production (or about to launch) and need environments, automation, and guardrails that match expected traffic and incident patterns, not an undocumented single-server setup.
- Deploys are manual, brittle, or undocumented
- You lack staging, backups, or a clear rollback path
- Performance degrades under load and nobody knows why
- Security patching and secrets management are ad hoc
- You are moving from one cloud or region to another
What we deliver
Concrete outcomes: environments you can reproduce, pipelines you can trust, and observability that surfaces failures during operations, not only after user reports.
Cloud & environments
Accounts, networking, and environment parity (dev / staging / prod) aligned with your compliance and data residency needs.
- Infrastructure as code where it pays off
- Secrets, IAM, and least-privilege access patterns
- Backups, restore drills, and disaster recovery basics
CI/CD & release safety
Automated builds, tests, and deployments with clear promotion rules, so releases follow a repeatable, low-risk process.
- Pipeline design and hardening
- Blue/green or rolling strategies where appropriate
- Release notes and rollback playbooks
Observability & performance
Metrics, logs, traces, and alerts tuned to your stack, so incidents are shorter and postmortems are actionable.
- SLI/SLO thinking for critical paths
- Load testing and capacity planning
- Cost and performance tuning (within guardrails)
How we scope it
We start from your current reality (stack, team, risk tolerance) and agree on a target operating model. Work is packaged in milestones with acceptance checks: no open-ended “DevOps forever” without outcomes.
- Discovery (short). Environments, deploy path, incidents, and constraints (compliance, budget, region).
- Plan. A sequenced set of changes with risk notes: what moves first, what can wait.
- Implement & hand off. Pipelines and runbooks your team can operate; knowledge transfer in writing.
- Optional retainer. Ongoing platform care or on-call support; see Ongoing support.
Engagement tiers
Tiers reflect typical engineering effort and tooling. Final fees depend on stack complexity, regions, compliance, and whether we inherit documented infrastructure or need to map what exists first.
Platform vs product retainers: The monthly retainer tiers below are for platform capacity (pipelines, environments, reliability of how you deploy and run). For product retainers (feature backlog, UX fixes, business logic), see Ongoing support. They can overlap in calendar time but are scoped differently.
Launch-ready setup
What it covers: Single production path, baseline CI/CD, core observability, backups, and documented runbooks for a small team or early product.
Fit when: You need “production credible” quickly without multi-region complexity.
Production platform
What it covers: Multi-environment rigor, stronger release safety, deeper observability, performance hardening, and security hygiene appropriate to your threat model.
Fit when: Traffic, revenue, or compliance means downtime is expensive.
Ongoing platform engineering (monthly)
What it covers: A defined monthly capacity for improvements, incident support boundaries, and roadmap-style platform work, scoped in a written agreement.
Fit when: You want continuous improvement without hiring a full platform team immediately.
Monthly retainers assume a clear SLA window and scope; heavy on-call or 24/7 coverage is quoted separately. Larger estates and stricter compliance are scoped accordingly.
