For funded startups
DevOps for startups.On call, one task or ongoing.
Funded startups burn the runway on the wrong things. Infrastructure should not be one of them. We are the senior hand on your cloud, servers, and CI/CD: we manage it, fix what breaks, and take the tasks your engineers have no time for. One task or ongoing, no in-house head of infra to hire, no retainer required.

Where it usually hurts
The startups-specific failure modes
You hired engineers to ship product. Half their week is going to the cloud instead.
We pick up the cloud account, ship the IaC, and handle the day-to-day. Your engineers get their week back.
Something is broken in production right now and nobody owns the infrastructure.
Send us the problem. A senior engineer diagnoses it, fixes it, and writes down what happened so it does not repeat. No retainer needed to get help.
Investors asked about your runway and your cloud bill in the same call.
Fixed-price audit. Right-sizing, reserved instances, architectural fixes. Typical outcome: 20-40% off the bill without performance loss.
You have a backlog of small infra tasks and no one senior to do them.
Bring them one at a time or hand us the list. Each task gets a plan, a time estimate, and a fixed price before any work starts.
Where the work lives
Infra cost curve as you scale
The infra spend goes from a rounding error to a real line item somewhere between Series A and B. That is when getting it right starts paying off the fastest.
Seed
$50-200/mo
MVP
$200-800/mo
Series A
$800-3K/mo
Series B
$3K-15K/mo
Series C
$15K+/mo
The shaded zone (Series A - B) is where most teams hire us. Earlier is welcome; we just tell you when AWS is overkill.

Common startups questions
We are pre-seed - is this overkill?
Maybe. If you run a single small app and burn under a few hundred a month on infra, you are fine for now. Talk to us when the cloud bill shows up on the invoice list, when something breaks and nobody owns it, or when customers start asking about uptime in writing.
Do we have to sign a retainer?
No. Bring us a single task or a problem, get a plan and a fixed price, and we do it. A retainer only makes sense once the work is ongoing: it is cheaper per hour and faster, but it is not a requirement to work with us.
Can you work alongside our existing engineers?
That is the typical mode. We own the infra layer (cloud, servers, CI/CD, secrets, on-call). Your engineers own the application. Handover and a weekly sync, not gatekeeping.
Are you cheaper than hiring a DevOps engineer?
Yes for the first 12 to 18 months, because there is no salary, no equity, no onboarding, and no risk of the wrong hire. Past that point a full-time hire usually wins, and we tell you when we think you have reached it.
What about US time-zone coverage?
We are EU-based and serve EU and US clients. Overlap with US business hours is part of the standard model. We are not a 24/7 NOC.
