DevOps outsourcing
DevOps Outsourcing
Outsourced DevOps that feels like part of your team. Senior engineers take over your infrastructure, pipelines and on-call, so your developers can focus on the product.
What's included
What you get
Full infrastructure ownership
We take responsibility for your cloud, pipelines and environments, with every change reviewed and documented.
Embedded with your team
A shared Slack channel, your ticket board, and weekly updates on what was done and what is next.
Reliability and on-call
Monitoring, alerting and incident response, so production issues are caught and fixed quickly.
Security and compliance
Access reviews, patching, secrets management and evidence to support SOC 2.
Cost control
Monthly cloud and LLM cost reviews with savings applied, not just reported.
Hiring and handover support
When you are ready to hire, we help write the role, interview candidates and hand over.
When you need it
Outsourced DevOps vs hiring in-house
- Hiring a senior DevOps engineer takes 2–4 months and costs $150k+ a year
- One in-house engineer is a single point of failure
- Outsourced DevOps starts in days and covers more skills
- You pay for the capacity you need, and can scale up or down monthly
- You keep ownership: everything stays in your accounts and repositories
- Many teams outsource first, then hire once the setup is stable

Common questions.
Is DevOps outsourcing secure?

How quickly can you start?
Usually within 1–2 weeks of signing, starting with a short onboarding and access review.
Will we lose control of our infrastructure?
No. Everything runs in your cloud accounts and is defined as code in your repositories.
What does outsourced DevOps cost?
From $6,000 per month for about 40 hours. Larger plans include on-call and AI platform work.
