For small teams & startups

Three shapes of engagement

Most projects fit one of these. Pricing is quote-based and depends on scope, timeline, and the cloud you're already running on.

Deploy

Get one product live, properly.

Best for a single product or service that needs to ship. We design the deploy, set it up in your cloud, and leave you with docs you can actually read.

  • One repo, one environment, done right
  • Cloud set up in your accounts (AWS, GCP, Azure, Railway, Render)
  • Dockerised app, secrets in a vault, least-privilege IAM
  • Runbook and short architecture note
  • Email support through delivery
Most requested

Platform

Ship weekly without the firefighting.

For product teams that want CI/CD, staging + production, observability, and a partner on call when something goes sideways. Scoped to your stack and your SLOs.

  • Everything in Deploy
  • CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or your tool)
  • Staging + production environments with promotion
  • Metrics, logs, traces, and actionable alerts
  • Slack or shared channel support in UK/EU hours
  • Runbook and architecture notes kept current

Retained ops

Your DevOps team, on tap.

Monthly retainer for teams that have a product live and want to keep it running well. We hold the pager, patch the platform, and pick up the work your engineers would rather not.

  • Ongoing platform operations in your accounts
  • Incident response and post-incident writeups
  • Cost reviews and right-sizing
  • Quarterly architecture reviews
  • Priority Slack support
  • Cancel any time, full handover included

Written proposals

Every engagement starts with a written scope. You approve it before we start.

Your accounts, your code

We work inside your cloud and your repos. You own everything we build.

No lock-in

Cancel any time. Full handover, every time — no retainer traps.

Engagement FAQ

  • Why isn't there a price on the business tiers?

    Because a number without your context is a fiction. Every engagement is scoped to the stack, the timeline, and the outcomes that matter to you. Book a call — we'll scope it honestly on the first call and send a written proposal within a couple of working days.

  • How quickly can we start?

    Usually within a week of signing. We run a short discovery call, send a written scope, and kick off once you're comfortable. Urgent engagements can start sooner — tell us the deadline.

  • What does "deploy and keep running" actually mean?

    We set up and maintain your pipelines, deploy to your environments, fix infra issues when they break, rotate secrets, patch base images, and keep short docs current. Scope is written down up front — no surprise work.

  • Do you work inside our cloud accounts?

    Yes. We work inside your GitHub or GitLab and your AWS, GCP, or Azure accounts using least-privilege access. You retain full ownership throughout — no lock-in, no consultancy retainer traps.

  • Is there a minimum engagement?

    Deploy engagements are typically 2–6 weeks. Platform engagements are 6–12 weeks. Retained ops are monthly with a 30-day notice. We can flex on all of this for the right project.

  • Do you take equity or discount for early-stage startups?

    We discount for pre-seed and seed-stage startups where the scope is right. We don't take equity. Ask on the call.
