ServiceTechnical Support & DevOps

Someone competent is always awake

Monitoring, on-call, releases, patching and a support line that reaches an engineer who knows your system. For products we built and for products we inherited.

Who this is for
  • Companies running a product with no dedicated operations team
  • Businesses whose only person who understood the deployment has left
  • Teams spending engineering time on incidents instead of features
  • Products that grew faster than their infrastructure discipline
What is included

What you get

Tiered support desk

Triage, reproduce, resolve or escalate, with agreed response and resolution times and a real human who reads context before replying.

Monitoring and alerting

Uptime, latency, error rate, queue depth, disk and cost, with alerts tuned so that a page means something.

Incident response

On-call rota, documented severity levels, status communication and a written post-incident review that produces actions, not blame.

Release management

CI/CD, staged rollouts, feature flags, database migrations run safely, and a rehearsed rollback for every release.

Backups that have been restored

Automated, encrypted, off-site, and tested on a schedule by actually restoring them. An untested backup is a rumour.

Cost optimisation

Right-sizing, storage lifecycle, cache strategy and per-tenant cost visibility, especially where AI inference is involved.

How it runs

The engagement, step by step

6 stages. Something usable at the end of each one.

  1. Stage 01

    Audit

    We map your infrastructure, deployments, dependencies, backups and monitoring, and produce a prioritised risk list.

  2. Stage 02

    Stabilise

    Fix the critical gaps first: backups, alerting, secrets, access control and anything with a single point of failure.

  3. Stage 03

    Instrument

    Structured logging, tracing, dashboards and alert thresholds tied to user-visible symptoms.

  4. Stage 04

    Automate

    Infrastructure as code, repeatable deployments, and the removal of every manual step that gets skipped at 2am.

  5. Stage 05

    Operate

    Support desk live, on-call rota running, release train, monthly reporting on incidents, performance and cost.

  6. Stage 06

    Improve

    A standing improvement budget each month so the platform gets better rather than merely surviving.

Questions

Technical Support & DevOps: common questions

Yes, after an audit. We need to read the code, understand the deployment and see the data model before committing to a response time. If we find something we cannot responsibly support as it stands, we will say so and quote the remediation separately.

Let's find out whether we are the right fit.

A first call is with an engineer, not a salesperson. Bring the problem; we will tell you honestly what we think.
