DevOps Expertise Without the $200K Hire
CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, container orchestration, monitoring, and 24/7 incident response. A full DevOps team for a fraction of the cost of one senior engineer.
You Need DevOps, But Can't Justify the Hire
A good DevOps engineer costs $150-200K/year. You need at least two for any real coverage. That's $300-400K before you even start buying tools.
Meanwhile, your deployments are manual and error-prone. Your infrastructure isn't documented. Nobody knows how to recover from an outage. And when things break at 3am, it's your problem.
Signs You Need DevOps Help
- Deployments are manual and scary
- No one knows how the infrastructure works
- Outages take hours to diagnose
- Developers wait on operations tasks
- "It works on my machine" is common
- No monitoring until customers complain
DevOps Services
Everything you need to ship faster and sleep better.
CI/CD Pipelines
Automated build, test, and deployment pipelines that catch issues before production.

Container Orchestration
Docker and Kubernetes managed properly—not just deployed and forgotten.
- Kubernetes cluster management
- Docker containerization
- Helm chart development
- Service mesh implementation
Monitoring & Observability
Know what's happening in your systems before your customers tell you.
- Prometheus & Grafana dashboards
- Application performance monitoring
- Log aggregation with ELK/Loki
- Custom alerting rules

We don't disappear after setup. Ongoing monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement. We're your DevOps team.
Common Questions
How is this different from hiring a DevOps engineer?
A senior DevOps engineer costs $150-200K/year, and you need at least two for any kind of coverage. With us, you get a full team of specialists across CI/CD, Kubernetes, monitoring, and security—with 24/7 coverage and no single point of failure.
Will you work with our existing tools?
Yes. We're tool-agnostic and work with whatever you have. If you're on Jenkins and it works, we'll manage Jenkins. If you want to modernize, we'll help you migrate. We don't force you onto our preferred stack.
How do you handle on-call and incidents?
We integrate with your alerting systems (PagerDuty, Opsgenie, etc.) and handle the first response. We triage, investigate, and either resolve or escalate to your team with full context. You get woken up only when necessary.
What if we eventually want to hire internally?
Great! We'll help you transition. Everything we build is documented and uses industry-standard tools. We can even help train your new hire and hand off gradually. No lock-in, no proprietary systems.
Do you write application code or just infrastructure?
We focus on infrastructure, pipelines, and operations. We don't write your application code, but we work closely with your developers to make their deployments seamless and their infrastructure reliable.
How quickly can you start?
We can start within a week. First, we do a quick assessment of your current setup, then we start with quick wins while planning larger improvements. No 3-month onboarding process.
