Senior DevOps from day one, without the senior hire.
You need production-grade infrastructure to win customers and investors' trust, but a full-time DevOps engineer is hard to justify this early. We give you the expertise now, and scale with you as you grow.
Signs your startup needs DevOps help now.
If two or more of these are true, your infrastructure is quietly becoming a business risk.
- 01Your CTO or lead developer is also your part-time DevOps engineer
- 02Deployments are manual, slow, and only one person knows how to do them
- 03You're not sure what your cloud bill is actually paying for
- 04Enterprise customers or investors are asking security questions you can't answer yet
- 05Nobody is alerted when production goes down; customers tell you first
- 06There's no tested backup or recovery plan
The right infrastructure for where you are today.
We don't over-engineer. Kubernetes isn't the answer for a three-person team, but automated deployments and backups always are.
Stage 1
MVP & early stage
Ship fast without creating a mess you'll pay for later.
- Simple, cost-efficient cloud setup
- Automated deployments from day one
- Basic monitoring and uptime alerts
- Secrets out of the codebase
Stage 2
Post-launch & first customers
Real users mean reliability and security become non-negotiable.
- Separate staging and production environments
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
- Backups with tested restores
- Security hardening and access control
Stage 3
Scaling & growing team
Infrastructure has to keep pace with traffic, features and headcount.
- Containers and Kubernetes where justified
- Observability across services
- Cost optimization as usage grows
- Incident response and runbooks
What a solid startup infrastructure looks like.
These are the building blocks we put in place and keep maintained, so you pass security reviews, survive launch day, and sleep at night.
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- CI/CD with automated tests and deploys
- Separate staging and production
- Centralized secrets management
- Automated backups with tested restores
- Monitoring, uptime checks and alerting
- Centralized, searchable logs
- Automated SSL/TLS certificates
- Least-privilege IAM and access control
- Cloud budgets and cost alerts
- Dependency and image scanning
- Runbooks and infrastructure documentation

After a free consultation we agree on an hour package that fits your needs, from a small flexible block to reserved weekly hours. Every hour is tracked and reported transparently, and you can scale hours up or down as your needs change. The exact terms are set out in your engagement agreement.
Build on infrastructure you won't have to rebuild.
