On-Demand DevOps & Platform Engineering—By The Hour.

Whether you’re fighting fires, stabilizing releases, or leveling up your platform, we plug in quickly and deliver measurable outcomes: reliable deployments, scalable infrastructure, and dashboards that actually tell the truth.

Services

Pick a lane or bring a mess. We’ll stabilize first, then improve the platform without slowing delivery.

On-Demand

Incident Response & Recovery

Stop the bleeding, restore service, then prevent repeat incidents with real fixes—not band-aids.

  • War-room leadership + root cause analysis
  • Runbooks, alerts, paging hygiene
  • Postmortems + prevention roadmap
Platform

Cloud & Kubernetes Operations

Reliable clusters, predictable scaling, and safer deployments across AWS/GCP/Azure.

  • K8s upgrades, ingress, autoscaling
  • Cost controls + resource governance
  • Cluster security + policy guardrails
Delivery

CI/CD & Release Engineering

Make releases boring. Reduce flaky builds, speed up pipelines, and ship with confidence.

  • Pipeline fixes + caching + parallelism
  • Blue/green, canary, rollback strategy
  • Secrets management + artifact hygiene

Capabilities

End-to-end platform engineering across infra, automation, reliability, and security.

Reliability

Observability that drives action

Dashboards and alerts built around symptoms, impact, and ownership—so teams respond fast.

  • Metrics, logs, tracing + correlation
  • SLOs/SLIs, alert tuning, incident metrics
  • On-call process improvements
Infrastructure

IaC, automation, and guardrails

Repeatable infra using Terraform and automated workflows that reduce risk.

  • Terraform modules + drift control
  • Network, IAM, load balancers, DNS
  • Policy-as-code + environment standards
Security

Hardening & practical security

Security improvements that don’t break shipping: secure defaults and automated checks.

  • Secret scanning + rotation plans
  • Container/image security + SBOM basics
  • Access controls + least privilege
Modernization

Migrations & platform upgrades

Modernize safely—reduce downtime, avoid surprises, and keep teams productive.

  • Kubernetes version upgrades
  • Monolith → services (practical steps)
  • CI/CD + tooling consolidation

How it works

A simple process designed for speed, clarity, and outcomes you can measure.

Delivery Flow

Fast onboarding, clear scope, real execution

We start with a short scoping call, then move straight into implementation. You’ll get a written plan, progress updates, and a clean handoff.

1) Scope 15–30 min call to define the problem, access, and success criteria.
2) Stabilize Stop outages, unblock releases, and remove immediate risk.
3) Improve Automate, harden, and add visibility so it stays stable.
4) Handoff Runbooks, docs, and recommended next steps.

Pricing

Simple hourly help with optional emergency response. Update amounts to match your final pricing.

Transparent

Hourly engagement

Ideal for outages, pipeline failures, Kubernetes issues, cloud cost spikes, migrations, and platform improvements. We’ll propose a plan and estimate hours after the first call.

Standard Hourly

$85 / hour
  • Scheduled support
  • Execution + documentation
  • Progress updates + handoff

Emergency Response

$125 / hour
  • Rapid start
  • Incident leadership
  • Postmortem + prevention
Tip: Add a “minimum 1 hour” note (or whatever you prefer) and define what “Emergency” means (e.g., response window, weekends/holidays).
Fit Check

Good fit if you need:

  • Faster deploys + fewer rollbacks
  • Clear alerts instead of noise
  • Kubernetes stability and upgrades
  • Terraform cleanup and safer changes
  • Help during outages or escalations
