Deployments that behave the same way every time
Most infrastructure problems in growing teams are not exotic. They are undocumented servers, manual releases, missing monitoring and configuration that grew without a plan. This is scheduled, practical engineering support to make deployment and operations predictable, and to leave behind documentation you can actually use.
- Teams with unstable or manual deployments
- Products running on a VPS or AWS account nobody fully documented
- Startups that need senior infrastructure help part-time
- Teams with no monitoring, alerting or backup verification in place
- Releases that are repeatable instead of remembered
- Alerts that fire before your customers tell you
- Infrastructure a new engineer can understand on day one
What the work covers
Final coverage is confirmed during scoping. Everything below is in the standard toolkit for this service.
Servers & infrastructure
- Linux and Ubuntu server administration
- AWS, VPS and basic network configuration support
- TLS, reverse proxy and web server configuration
- Backup configuration and restore testing
Delivery
- Docker and Docker Compose deployments
- CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or GitHub-based workflows
- Terraform changes within an agreed infrastructure scope
- Release process documentation and rollback paths
Operations
- Logging, monitoring and alerting setup
- Production troubleshooting and incident support during scheduled hours
- Baseline server hardening and access review
- Runbooks for the things you would otherwise have to remember
What you actually receive
Every engagement is documented. If it is not written down, it did not happen.
- An agreed plan before work starts, with time estimates where the task can be scoped
- Changes implemented and verified in your environment
- Written documentation of what changed and why
- Handover notes so your team can operate it without us
Cloud & DevOps
Practical engineering support that makes deployment, infrastructure and day-to-day operations more predictable. Prices are starting points, scope is confirmed in writing before anything begins.
| Service | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Linux / VPS Configuration & Hardening | A server that was set up quickly and never reviewed | From $150 |
| Production Docker Deployment | Containerising an application and running it reliably in production | From $250 |
| Monitoring & Alerting Setup | Finding out about problems before your customers do | From $250 |
| CI/CD Pipeline Setup | Replacing manual releases with a repeatable pipeline | From $350 |
| AWS or Terraform Deployment | Infrastructure defined in code rather than clicked together | From $800 |
| Monthly DevOps Support | Ongoing scheduled help, with the included hours agreed in the proposal | From $350 / month |
- Hosting fees, cloud usage and third-party licenses are billed separately by their providers.
- Support is scheduled. This is not a 24/7 operations centre and does not include guaranteed emergency response times.
- Every price is a starting point for a defined piece of work. The exact figure depends on how many environments, services and integrations are involved, and it is fixed in writing before anything starts.
- On the monthly plan the number of included hours is agreed in the proposal, and work beyond it is quoted before it is started.
Cloud & DevOps: asked and answered
Can you work with our existing infrastructure?
Yes, most engagements start with an environment that already exists. The first step is a short review to document what is actually running, then a prioritised list of what to fix first.
Do you take over our whole infrastructure?
No. You keep ownership of your accounts and your infrastructure. We work within an agreed scope and leave documentation behind, so nothing depends on us being available.
What if we need more than the hours in our plan?
Additional work is quoted at the hourly rate before it starts. There are no surprise invoices for work you did not approve.
Why is every price shown as a starting figure?
Because the same task is not the same size everywhere. Hardening one VPS is not hardening six, and a pipeline for a single service is not a pipeline for eight. The starting price is the honest floor for that piece of work, and the exact number is fixed in your written quotation once the shape of the environment is clear.
