DevOps on Monthly Retainer

You can add as many requests to your queue as you want. We work through them one at a time (Startup) or two at a time (Business). There is no cap on the total number of requests per month. Most clients submit 10-20 requests monthly.

You subscribe and get immediate access to your private Trello board. Submit requests anytime. We deliver with an average 48-hour turnaround. At the end of the month, your subscription auto-renews. Cancel or pause anytime - no penalties.

Complex tasks are broken into smaller, manageable requests. We'll communicate upfront if something needs to be split. This ensures consistent delivery speed and you always have visibility into progress.

Yes. If you have a slow month, pause your subscription. Your remaining days are banked. When you're ready, unpause and pick up where you left off. No questions asked.

No. You can cancel after the first month. Many clients start with one month to evaluate our work quality and turnaround time. Most end up staying because the value is clear.

Consulting firms bill hourly ($150-400/hr) and work in SOWs. A quick Slack question? That's billable. A 30-minute meeting? Billable. With us, everything is included in the flat monthly fee. No tracking hours, no surprise invoices.

Our Startup plan is $2,999 per month with one active request at a time, and our Business plan is $4,999 per month with two active requests at a time. Both include unlimited queued requests, an average 48-hour turnaround, and senior engineers. For context, hiring a single senior DevOps engineer full time runs $150,000 to $300,000 per year before benefits and overhead.

A retainer gives you a full team across AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, monitoring, and security for one flat fee, with no recruiting, benefits, PTO, or idle time to pay for. A full-time hire gives you one person with one skill set who is only productive when there is enough work to fill 40 hours a week. Most small and mid-size teams do not have that much steady DevOps work, which is why a retainer usually delivers more value.

Yes. If you pause mid-month, your remaining days are banked. When you resume, you pick up exactly where you left off with no days lost. There is no hourly billing and no penalty for pausing during a slow month.

Yes. You can upgrade from Startup to Business when you need two requests handled in parallel, or downgrade when things slow down. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle, so you are never locked into a tier that no longer fits your workload.

Senior DevOps engineers, not junior staff or offshore ticket-takers. The same team handles your requests month over month, so they retain full context on your infrastructure, conventions, and preferences. Rated 4.8 stars across 47 reviews.
