Managed DevOps – Without the Full-Time Hire

You have a product, a team of developers, and infrastructure that needs to just work. But hiring a full-time DevOps engineer is expensive and often overkill at your stage. That’s where we come in.

We act as your on-call DevOps team — managing your infrastructure, pipelines, deployments, and incidents — for a fixed monthly retainer. No ticket queues. No account managers. You get us directly.


What’s Included

  • Server provisioning and hardening — Hetzner, Debian/Ubuntu or any other cloud provider and Linux distribution
  • Docker and Docker Compose environment management
  • CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance — GitLab CI, GitHub Actions
  • Cloudflare configuration — DNS, WAF, DDoS protection, caching rules
  • Monitoring and alerting — Nagios and Graylog for log management
  • SSL, backups, and security patching
  • On-call availability for incidents and emergencies
  • Application environment support — Laravel, WordPress, custom PHP, Node.js or any other app

Who This Is For

  • SaaS or e-commerce companies with 1–10 developers and no DevOps hire
  • Agencies managing multiple client deployments
  • Companies that have been hacked or had a major incident and want it never to happen again
  • Teams migrating from single servers to containerised or cloud infrastructure

A Real Example

One of our longest-running retainer clients came to us after their servers were compromised. We cleaned up the breach, hardened the environment, and rebuilt their entire infrastructure on Docker with GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Three years later, zero incidents — and they’ve since migrated all their projects to us.


Pricing

Retainers are scoped to your actual infrastructure and workload. Typical engagements start from £700/month. Get in touch and we’ll scope it together — no sales process, just a direct conversation.
