Pricing & engagement

Priced on outcomes, not hours

A lower cloud bill, faster releases, fewer 2 a.m. pages — that is what you are buying. Fixed scope, fixed price, quoted against a design doc you approve first. Here is exactly what the work costs.

Fixed-scope packages

Clear scope, clear price.

Productized engagements with a defined outcome and an up-front price — quoted against a short design doc so you know exactly what you get and what it costs.

02

CI/CD & GitOps Pipeline

from $2,500
1–2 weeks

Deploys go from a scary afternoon to a non-event you run ten times a day.

Keyless CI/CD with GitOps delivery — zero-downtime releases, automatic rollback, and Git as the single source of truth across your environments.

  • GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
  • Argo CD or Flux
  • Progressive delivery + rollback
  • Secrets done right

03

Cloud Cost & Reliability Audit

from $1,500
1 week

Industry surveys put cloud waste at 25–45% of spend. The audit exists to find your share of it, priced against the fixes.

A deep audit of your cloud/Kubernetes setup — cost, reliability, security and scaling — delivered as a prioritized report with concrete fixes and estimated savings.

  • Right-sizing + waste report
  • Reliability & security gaps
  • Prioritized fix list
  • Savings estimate

04

Zero-Downtime Cloud Migration

from $3,500
2–4 weeks

Move clouds — or into Kubernetes — with zero minutes of customer-facing downtime.

Live workloads migrated between clouds or into Kubernetes: design doc and rollback plan first, data reconciled, traffic flipped at the edge only after a soak.

  • Design doc + rollback plan
  • Data sync & reconciliation
  • Edge traffic cutover
  • Old stack safely decommissioned

05

Production Observability & SLOs

from $2,000
1–2 weeks

See problems before your customers do — and stop getting paged for noise.

Metrics, logs and traces wired together with SLOs and error budgets — golden-signal dashboards and multi-burn-rate alerts that only fire when it matters.

  • Prometheus / Grafana / Loki / Tempo
  • Golden signals + SLOs
  • Multi-burn-rate alerting
  • Dashboards as code

06

Fractional Platform Team

from $2,000/mo
monthly retainer

A senior platform function for a fraction of the cost of one full-time hire.

Us as your part-time DevOps/platform function — ongoing platform work, improvements and support, for far less than a full-time senior hire.

  • Set days/month
  • Platform + on-call support
  • Continuous improvement
  • Cancel anytime

Our guarantee

Pay for outcomes, not promises.

01

Design doc first

Architecture, scope and trade-offs written down and approved by you before any code is written.

02

Milestone-based

Work is split into clear milestones. If the first milestone isn’t what we agreed, you don’t pay for it.

03

No lock-in — ever

Everything is code in your repositories, documented, with runbooks. It runs without us; that’s the point.

Add-ons

Bolt on what you need.

Attach to any package — or run standalone on an existing setup.

Staging Environment

$800 – $1,500

A production-clone staging fed by its own branch and pipeline, noindex-hardened — so nothing ships to customers untested.

Security & Compliance Hardening Pass

$1,200 – $2,500

CIS baselines, least-privilege IAM, image signing and admission gates — with the evidence trail an auditor actually asks for.

On-Call & Incident-Response Setup

$1,000 – $2,000

Alert routing, escalation and runbooks your team can execute at 2 a.m. — so incidents get shorter and rarer.

Disaster-Recovery & Backup Drill

$1,000 – $2,200

Automated backups plus a rehearsed restore with written RTO/RPO — backups you have actually tested, not just scheduled.

Availability

Taking a small number of new engagements.

We keep the engagement count low so every project gets senior attention — first come, first scheduled.

Ways to work with us
01

Fixed-scope project

A defined outcome — a Kubernetes platform, a cloud migration, a CI/CD pipeline — quoted up front against an agreed design doc. You know the price before we start.

02

Monthly retainer

A set number of engineering days a month for ongoing platform work, on-call support and improvements. Predictable cost, a team on tap.

03

Fractional platform team

Us as your part-time DevOps/platform function — far cheaper than a full-time senior hire, with the same patterns and tooling we run our own products on.

The offshore advantage

Top-tier engineering, without top-tier agency invoices.

A senior platform engineer in the US or Western Europe runs a six-figure loaded cost — and a single hire is one person, one point of failure. We deliver the same standard of work at a far more competitive rate, and hand it over documented so you are never dependent on us.

Frequently asked

How much does DevOps consulting cost?

It depends on scope, but the honest framing is value, not hourly rates: a well-built platform or migration typically pays for itself in reduced cloud spend, faster shipping and fewer incidents. We quote fixed-scope projects against an agreed design doc, and offer monthly retainers for ongoing work. Tell us the goal and we will give you a number you can hold us to.

What if the work isn’t what we agreed?

Every engagement starts with a short design doc you approve before any code is written, and work is split into clear milestones. If the first milestone isn’t what we agreed in that doc, you don’t pay for it. That keeps the risk on us, where it belongs.

Are offshore DevOps services cheaper than a US or EU agency?

Significantly. Our base lets us deliver the same standard of Kubernetes, cloud and CI/CD engineering — infrastructure as code, GitOps, secure defaults — at a fraction of what US or Western European agencies charge, with time zones that overlap the Gulf and Europe.

Should we hire an in-house DevOps engineer or outsource?

A single senior platform engineer is expensive and a single point of failure. For most small-to-mid teams, a fractional or project-based engagement gets the platform built right and handed over — then you hire in-house to run it, if and when the workload justifies a full-time role.

Is there lock-in?

No. Everything is code in your repositories, documented, with runbooks. We optimise for handover — the goal is that your platform runs without us.

Let's build something that stays up.

One message. We'll reply with questions, not a sales pitch — then a plan you can hold us to.
