How it works
Fast onboarding, clear scope, real execution.
1) Scope
15–30 min call to define the problem, access, and success criteria.
2) Stabilize + Execute
Stop outages, unblock releases, then implement the fixes that prevent repeats.
3) Handoff
Runbooks, docs, and a roadmap for next improvements—clean and actionable.
Pricing
Simple hourly help with clear deliverables. Need a cap? We can estimate and agree up front.
Hourly
- Best for incidents, unblockers, and targeted improvements
- Short scopes with fast impact
- Ideal when you want “senior hands” now
Monthly Hours
- Ongoing platform improvements + reliability work
- Predictable cadence for upgrades and hardening
- Works well as “fractional DevOps”
What you get
- Written plan → execution → documented handoff
- Visibility: dashboards/alerts/SLOs where needed
- Practical security and guardrails
