Senior infrastructure engineers without the full-time salary. Fixed price, 2 to 4 week delivery for startups in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
DevOps as a Service
for Startups That Need to Ship
Senior cloud infrastructure expertise on a fixed-price engagement. AWS, Vercel, CI/CD, monitoring, infrastructure as code. We set up the foundation, hand it over with documentation, and stay available if you want ongoing support.
Where Are You Now?
The 5-Stage Infrastructure Maturity Model
Most startups sit in Stage 1 or 2 and assume they are at Stage 3. This model tells you honestly where you are and what to fix next. We use it to scope every DevOps engagement.
Manual
Deploys happen via SSH or clicking through a cloud console. No version control on configuration. Production access through shared root credentials. Downtime on every deploy. Bugs found by customers.
What to fix next: Stop the bleeding: version control, environment separation, basic CI build.
Scripted
You have a deploy script. Maybe a CI server. Configuration lives partly in code, partly in someone's head. Rollbacks require re-running a deploy. Monitoring is whatever the cloud console shows.
What to fix next: Production CI/CD with rollback, structured config, basic error tracking, staging environment that mirrors production.
Automated
Every push deploys through CI/CD. Failed tests block deploys. Staging matches production. Sentry catches errors. Most startups think they are here when they are at Stage 2.
What to fix next: Add blue-green or canary deploys, structured observability, secrets management, infrastructure as code for repeatability.
Infrastructure as Code
All infrastructure defined in Terraform or Pulumi. Environments reproducible from code. Disaster recovery actually tested. Cost monitoring per service. Multi-environment promotion flow.
What to fix next: Add SLOs, error budgets, automated incident response, runbooks. Move toward SRE practices.
Observability-First
Distributed tracing, structured logs, custom metrics tied to business outcomes, error budget alerts. You know what your system is doing in real time and why.
What to fix next: Most startups never need to reach here. If you do, you are scaling well — and we can help.
What We Set Up
A standard DevOps engagement covers these six areas. Scope is fixed and written before any work starts. You see the deliverable per area before week one ends.
CI/CD Pipeline
GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with test gates, type-checks, lint, build verification, preview deployments per pull request. Failed checks block the merge — not optional.
Production + Staging Environments
Identical infrastructure for staging and production. Staging matches production in every way except scale. Preview environments per PR for safer review cycles.
Cloud Infrastructure (AWS or Vercel)
Vercel for Next.js frontends. AWS ECS, Lambda, or EC2 for backend services. AWS RDS for managed Postgres. Right-sized from day one, not over-provisioned.
Zero-Downtime Deployment
Blue-green or canary deployments. Automated health checks. Instant rollback when something fails. No more deploys during the lull at 3am — deploy mid-workday with confidence.
Monitoring & Alerting
Sentry for error tracking. CloudWatch or Datadog for infrastructure metrics. Slack or PagerDuty alerts on real problems — not every minor blip. You know about issues before customers do.
Secrets & Security Hardening
AWS Secrets Manager or Vercel environment variables. IAM least-privilege roles. VPC isolation. Encrypted storage. Audit log of every infrastructure change. No secrets in code, ever.
The Cost Decision
AWS vs Vercel: Realistic Monthly Cost by Scale
The right answer depends on your traffic, team size, and where you want to spend engineering time. These are real cost ranges from production SaaS we have built or audited.
Our default for new SaaS: Vercel + managed Postgres (Supabase or AWS RDS). Cheapest engineering cost, fastest time to production. Migrate to AWS-self-managed only when traffic actually justifies it — and most startups never get there.
How to Work With Us
DevOps Engagement Models
One-Time Setup
2-4 weeks · $3K-$8KWe set up CI/CD, infrastructure, monitoring, and security. Documented handoff to your team. Best when you have engineers who can maintain it but lack the time to set it up.
Full Infrastructure Build
4-8 weeks · $10K-$25KInfrastructure-as-code from scratch — Terraform or Pulumi. Multi-environment promotion. Disaster recovery tested. Right for funded startups going to production with compliance requirements.
Audit + Remediation
1-3 weeks · $2K-$6KAudit your existing setup. Identify the highest-impact fixes. Optionally execute them. Common starting point for teams that inherited messy infrastructure.
Ongoing DevOps Retainer
From $1.5K/moOn-call DevOps support after setup. Handle infrastructure changes, monitoring response, cost optimization, scaling decisions. Pay for senior expertise without a full-time hire.
Why Startups Pick Us for DevOps as a Service
We say no when Kubernetes is wrong
Most DevOps consultants will sell you K8s regardless. We tell you when Vercel + AWS Lambda is the right answer — and refuse work that adds complexity you do not need.
Fixed price, fixed scope, no surprises
DevOps engagements are scoped in writing. Fixed price. No hourly billing creep. If we scoped wrong, that cost is ours.
You own everything
Your AWS account. Your repository. Your monitoring dashboards. Your secrets. We hand over full credentials on day one. No lock-in. No vendor dependency.
Senior engineers only
Every DevOps engagement is led by an engineer who has run production infrastructure at scale. No juniors learning on your dime.
