Managed DevOps — what the industry calls DevOps as a Service — means we become the team behind how your software ships: releases on a schedule, systems watched around the clock, and an agile working rhythm (Kanban or Scrum) your whole team can see. A monthly engagement, not a project — and it starts with a free review of how you ship today, yours to keep either way.
Updates go out late at night, everyone holds their breath, and something usually breaks anyway. So releases get rarer, which makes each one bigger — and scarier. The product is fine; shipping it is the problem.
The people you hired to build features spend their week restarting things, chasing deploys, and firefighting. Every hour of that is an hour your product didn't move — and the most expensive babysitting you'll ever pay for.
Work happens, but on momentum and memory. There's no board, no rhythm, no honest answer to "when will it be out?" — and you find out something slipped only when a customer asks about it.
You need real DevOps, but not forty hours of it a week — and good DevOps engineers are expensive, hard to find, and gone in eighteen months. You need the function, not the headcount.
“DevOps” is jargon; this list isn't. These are the six things that stop being your problem — checkable against your own week, one by one.
How a change gets from a developer's laptop to your customers — made automatic, repeatable, and boring, so releasing stops depending on the one person who remembers the steps.
Updates go out on a rhythm you can see and plan around. Not "when things calm down", and not at midnight with everyone holding their breath.
Monitoring and alerts on the things that matter, so when something breaks we find out before your customers do — and usually fix it before they notice.
The places your software runs — testing, staging, production — kept consistent and documented, so "it worked on my machine" stops being a sentence anyone says.
An agile cadence (Kanban or Scrum) your whole team can see: what's being worked on, what ships next, what's stuck. We run the process so it doesn't become another job on your plate.
Everything we run is documented as we go, and you get a monthly report in plain English: what shipped, what broke, what we fixed, and what's next.
// The Free Review
Before anyone signs anything monthly, you get a written, plain-English review of how your software currently reaches your customers — and the plan we'd run. A document, not a sales call.
No big-bang migration, no six-month onboarding. It works like this:
The review: we map how your software ships today — what's manual, what's fragile, what's invisible — and write up the plan we'd run. It's yours to keep, even if you stop here.
Not everything at once. The first weeks go to whatever hurts most — usually the release itself — so your team feels the difference before the first month is out.
Releases on a schedule, systems watched, the board visible, a monthly report in plain English. The drama is gone — that's the product.
We won't publish a rate card — any number we put here would be wrong for most of the people reading it. What we will do is tell you exactly how the number gets decided, and for this service it's the monthly model that applies.
Always, and with no obligation. You get the written verdict and the plan whether or not you ever hire us — including if you hand it to another developer.
Once we've seen the codebase and the scope is clear enough to commit to, you get one number and one timeline. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.
Some work can't be honestly estimated up front — deep unknowns in an inherited system, or a scope that will move as we learn. There we bill hourly, because padding a fixed price for that risk means you pay for it whether it happens or not.
Some work isn't a project with a finish line — keeping software shipping, watched, and healthy month after month. There we agree a monthly scope and one monthly price up front, and you can step away with notice. No long lock-in.
No speculative proposals for work you haven't decided on. Tell us you want it built and we'll price it properly — which is also why we look at the code first.
// The Part Most Agencies Leave Out
We run DevOps engagements today — under confidentiality agreements that don't allow us to show you names, dashboards, or numbers. Most agencies solve that with an “anonymous success story” and a stock photo. We won't: a claim you can't check is worth exactly nothing, and we'd rather show you less and have all of it be true.
So the proof here is structural instead. The list above tells you exactly what we'd take over. Our public record is verifiable. And the review is free — meaning the first thing you ever judge us on is real work about your systems, written down, before a single peso or dollar moves.
If a developer walked away mid-build or the codebase itself is the emergency, that's a rescue, not a retainer — start with the free assessment instead.
See Project Rescue →If what needs running is email, devices, identity and cloud accounts — the business, not the software you sell — that's our Cloud & Microsoft 365 service.
See Cloud & Microsoft 365 →Most people who come to us have been let down by a developer before. These are the four things they tell us they wish they'd had in writing last time — so we put them in writing first.
You meet the senior engineer who will actually write your code — by name, on the first call. No handoff to a junior once the contract is signed, and no subcontracting your project to someone you've never met.
You own the code the moment it's written, not when the final invoice clears. It lives in your repository, under your account, documented so any developer can pick it up. No lock-in, and nothing held hostage.
Each milestone is something you can open and use — not a percentage of an estimate. If a milestone doesn't land, the next one isn't billed until it does.
Ask and we'll sign yours, or send ours, before you share a repository, a database, or a business plan. We'd rather do the paperwork first than ask you to trust us with it.
We take responsibility for how your software gets from your developers to your users, and for knowing it's healthy once it's there. Concretely: the release process, the environments it runs in, the monitoring and alerts around it, and the working rhythm on top — a Kanban or Scrum board, a steady cadence, and a monthly plain-English report. The exact scope is agreed up front, in writing, before the first month is billed.
No — we make them faster. Your developers keep building the product; we run the machinery around them, so a feature that's finished actually reaches customers instead of waiting for someone to find a safe evening to deploy it. No developers of your own? That works too — we run the same machinery around ours.
That's the normal starting point, not a problem. Most teams that come to us run on momentum and memory: work happens, but nobody can say what ships next week. We install the lightest process that fits how you already work — usually a simple board everyone can see — and we run it, so it doesn't become another thing your team has to maintain. You don't need to know the vocabulary. That's what you're hiring.
Yes. Some clients hand us the whole function; others have capable engineers who need direction, standards, and someone accountable for the outcome. In that shape we set the rhythm, own the process and the tooling, and your people do what they're good at inside it.
A fair question, and we'd rather answer it plainly than talk around it. The engagements this service grew out of are covered by confidentiality agreements: no names, no dashboards, no numbers. What you can verify is public — our Upwork record and the work on this site — and the review is free precisely so the first thing you judge us on is the actual work, not a testimonial.
Because it's how both sides find out whether this fits, and a written document is a better audition than a sales call. We see how you ship and whether we can genuinely improve it; you see how we think and how clearly we write before any money moves. And if the honest answer is “you don't need us — fix these two things yourself”, that's what the write-up will say.
You stop. It's a monthly engagement with a notice period, not a contract you need a lawyer to leave. And because documenting as we go is part of the service, what you hand to the next team — or take back in-house — is a running, written-down setup, not a mystery we were holding together.
Close cousin, different job. An MSP manages your company's IT — email, laptops, accounts, the office network. We manage how your software product ships and runs. If it's the first one you need, that's our Cloud & Microsoft 365 service — and plenty of businesses need both.
