Do you work with small startups?

Yes - most of our clients are startups between 5 and 30 people who need senior DevOps without hiring a full-time engineer. You get direct access to our senior engineers, no account managers.

What's your typical response time?

For ongoing clients, we respond within a few hours during business hours. For emergency situations, we aim to respond within 15 minutes - see the Emergency page for urgent issues.

How do the DevOps as a Service hour packages work?

You purchase a block of hours per month. Hours cover any DevOps tasks - deployments, debugging, infrastructure changes, security patches. Unused hours do not roll over, but packages can be adjusted monthly.

Do you work with non-Kubernetes infrastructure?

Absolutely. We work with bare-metal servers, Hetzner Cloud, AWS EC2, Laravel Forge, Plesk and cPanel environments. Kubernetes is a speciality but not a requirement.

Can you take over an existing infrastructure?

Yes - we start with an infrastructure audit to understand what you have, identify risks, and build a plan. Most engagements begin this way.

Do you use AI in your work?

Yes - we use AI tools for things like log analysis, CVE triage, Terraform generation, and runbook drafting. Every output is reviewed and owned by our team. It helps us move faster, but the judgment and accountability are always ours.

Your dedicated DevOps team.Without the in-house hiring.

We take on your infrastructure end to end - the AWS bill, the Kubernetes clusters, the CVE response, the 3am pages - and stay with you year after year. Each client gets a senior team dedicated to their stack. Not a ticket queue, not a rotating bench.

Six things we do most

The work that fills the calendar

Six engagements cover most of what funded startups and scale-ups ask for. The other 14 services cover everything else - see the full list below.

DevOps as a Service

Senior infrastructure on retainer. We pick up Slack, review architecture, ship the changes. Like having a head of infra without the hire.

Learn more

Kubernetes Management

EKS or self-managed clusters that survive scale and 3am alerts. Karpenter, Cilium, ArgoCD - the boring stack that works.

Learn more

AWS Cloud Management

AWS done properly: tight IAM, networking that scales, and a bill that does not surprise the CFO. Built for funded startups, not enterprise theater.

Learn more

Security & Compliance

IAM lockdown, secret rotation, kernel CVE response. SOC 2 prep when you need it. The boring security work that actually matters.

Learn more

Monitoring & Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, and alerts that wake the right person. Cut noise, surface signal, sleep through the night.

Learn more

Cloud Cost Optimization

Fixed-price audit. Right-sizing, RIs, architecture changes. Typically cuts AWS bills 20-40% without slowing anything down.

How We Work

10+ Years of Experience. Multiplied by AI.

Expert engineers who combine deep Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure experience with modern AI tools. The result: faster delivery, broader coverage, and systems you stop worrying about.

Faster Delivery

Terraform, K8s manifests and CI/CD pipelines drafted in hours, not days.

Security Coverage

Continuous AI scanning. CVE triage prioritised by real risk, not just CVSS score.

Performance

Anomalies caught before they become incidents. AI correlates, we act.

Cost & Billing

AI models resource usage. No more paying for infrastructure you don't use.

Monitoring

AI-assisted alerting with context. Signal over noise, always.

AI accelerates the work. Every decision, every deployment, every fix is reviewed and owned by a senior engineer with 10+ years in production.

30-min call to scope your infra needs
