Patching and housekeeping
Servers, container images, and dependencies patched on a monthly schedule, with certificates and backups checked.
The Problem
Your Developers Became the Operations Team by Accident
It shows up when feature work slows because developers spend their weeks on deploys, certificate renewals, server patches, and cloud tickets nobody else can handle.
01 · Lost dev time
Developers spend their weeks on deploys and server chores.
A named engineer takes recurring operations work off your developers' plates.
02 · Ownership
Nobody owns the cloud account, so patches wait.
Patching and housekeeping run on a monthly schedule with a written log.
03 · Alerts
Alerts land in a shared inbox nobody reads.
Alerts route to the right person, with a short runbook for each one.
04 · Hiring
A full-time DevOps hire feels like a big bet.
A monthly plan covers the work until there's a full week of it.
Your best developer spent Monday renewing a certificate, Tuesday chasing a failed deploy, and Wednesday resizing a database before it ran out of disk. The roadmap slipped again. Nobody owns the cloud account, so patches wait until something breaks. You've thought about hiring a DevOps engineer, but there isn't a full week of that work yet, and a senior hire is a big bet. Meanwhile, alerts go to a shared inbox nobody reads.
We start with a 2-week onboarding: we map your pipelines, cloud accounts, alerts, and recurring chores, then fix the riskiest gaps first. After that, a named engineer works through a shared backlog every month, from patching and pipeline fixes to new environments. Each month you get a report with the DORA delivery metrics, so you can see whether releases are getting faster and safer. Your developers go back to the roadmap instead of the server.
A named DevOps engineer
One engineer learns your setup and stays with it, so you never re-explain your infrastructure.
Chores off your developers
Patching, certificates, pipeline fixes, and cloud tickets move to a shared backlog we work through.
Delivery measured monthly
Deployment frequency, lead time, and recovery time reported each month, so progress is visible.
Our DevOps Services Process
From Ops Firefighting to a Monthly DevOps Rhythm in Five Clear Steps
You approve the onboarding findings, set backlog priorities each month, and review a delivery report that shows whether releases are getting faster and safer.
We go through your releases, cloud accounts, alerts, and the chores eating your developers' time. You get a list of the riskiest gaps, a recommended plan size, and a fixed monthly price within 2 business days.
What's Included
What You Get With DevOps Automation Services and Ongoing Support
Every plan covers a named engineer, patching, pipeline fixes, alerts, and a monthly delivery report. Larger plans add more hours, Terraform changes, cost reviews, Kubernetes operations, and incident reviews.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs a Full-Time Hire vs a Freelancer
A full-time hire makes sense once there's a full week of DevOps work, and a freelancer can fix a one-off problem cheaply. Here's where a monthly plan fits between them.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Full-time hire | Freelancer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From $800 per month | A full senior salary | Hourly, varies each month |
| Ramp-up time | Onboarding in 1 to 2 weeks | Recruiting takes months | Quick for one task |
| Continuity of people | Same named engineer each month | Depends on availability | |
| Knowledge of your setup | Documented in runbooks | Deepest over time | Often undocumented |
| Breadth of skills | Pipelines, cloud, Terraform, and Kubernetes | One person's strengths | Usually one specialty |
| Delivery metrics | DORA report every month | If someone sets it up | Rarely tracked |
| Scaling up or down | Change plan size each month | Hard to change quickly | Flexible per task |
| Best fit | Part-time DevOps needs | A full week of work | One-off fixes |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built web apps and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Product Teams Trust Us as Their DevOps Engineers
A part-time DevOps engineer only works if they know your setup and leave clear notes. These habits keep your infrastructure understandable even when we're offline.
Same engineer every month
Your named engineer stays on your account, with a second engineer briefed for cover. You don't re-explain your setup to someone new each time something breaks.
Everything written down
Every change, fix, and decision goes into the backlog and runbooks. If you hire in-house later, they inherit a documented setup instead of tribal knowledge.
Metrics over busywork
We track deployment frequency, lead time, change fail rate, and recovery time against your baseline. Hours spent matter less than whether releases got faster and safer.
Honest about hiring
When your DevOps work fills a full week, we'll tell you it's time to hire and help write the job description. The plan should end once it stops being the cheaper option.
Access you control
We work through roles in your accounts that you can review and revoke at any time. There are no shared passwords, and every action is logged under a named user.
Changes go through review
Infrastructure and pipeline changes arrive as pull requests your developers can read. Nothing important changes quietly over a weekend, and every change has a record.

Good fit
Startups without a DevOps hire
Your developers handle deploys and cloud chores between features, and you need devops solutions that don't require a full-time hire yet.
SaaS teams after an outage
Your last outage came from an expired certificate or a full disk, and you want a devops service provider watching the basics every month.
Teams with a new cloud setup
You just moved to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and need cloud devops services to run it after the migration project ends.
CTOs asked about release speed
Your board asks why releases are slow, and you want a devops consulting company that reports delivery metrics instead of hours.
Agencies with client platforms
Your agency maintains client platforms and needs devops development services behind your brand for pipelines, patching, and cloud changes.
Not a fit
One-off pipeline project
You need a pipeline built once, not ongoing help. CI/CD Pipeline Setup Services is a one-time project with a fixed price.
Still on your own servers
You're still on your own servers and need to move first. Cloud Migration Services handles the move, and a monthly plan can follow.
Round-the-clock on-call
You need round-the-clock on-call coverage with contractual response times. A managed services provider with a staffed night shift fits better.
Budget under $800 a month
Your budget is under $800 per month. Website Maintenance Services covers simpler sites with updates, backups, and monitoring for less.

DevOps with DeveloperLook starts at $800 per month for up to 12 engineering hours, patching, pipeline fixes, alerts, and a monthly delivery report. The DevOps Team plan is $1,350 per month with 24 hours and Terraform changes, and DevOps Partner is $2,200 per month with 40 hours. You get a fixed proposal after a free ops review.
Onboarding takes 1 to 2 weeks, and the first risk fixes land in weeks 2 to 3. During onboarding we document your setup and record baseline delivery metrics. Measurable changes in release frequency and recovery time usually show over the first 2 to 3 months, once the backlog's bigger items are done.
DevOps is a way of working where the people who build software also share responsibility for releasing and running it. It combines practices such as CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, and blameless incident reviews. The aim is small, frequent, low-risk releases instead of rare, stressful ones handed between separate teams.
A DevOps pipeline is the full automated path a change follows, from a commit to running in production and being monitored there. It includes the CI/CD stages that build, test, and deploy, plus infrastructure changes, configuration, and the alerts that watch each release. When one stage fails, the change stops before it reaches users.
Day to day, DevOps work keeps releases flowing and infrastructure healthy. That means fixing broken pipelines, patching servers and images, adjusting cloud resources, answering alerts, and automating chores that eat developer time. On our plans, those tasks sit in a shared backlog that you can reprioritize whenever you need to.
DevOps is important because slow, manual releases cost both speed and stability. When deploys are rare and risky, fixes wait, problems pile up, and outages take longer to resolve. Automated, frequent releases with monitoring let teams ship and recover faster, which is what the DORA research measures.
In software development, DevOps means operations concerns are part of building the product, not an afterthought. Developers see how their code runs in production, pipelines enforce tests and checks, and infrastructure changes go through the same review as application code. Releases become routine instead of events that need a war room.
DevOps automation is replacing repeated manual operations work with scripts, pipelines, and code. Typical targets are builds and deploys, server patching, certificate renewal, environment creation with Terraform, and alert routing. We automate the chores your team repeats most often first, because each one returns hours every month.
Measure DevOps success with the DORA metrics: change lead time, deployment frequency, failed deployment recovery time, change fail rate, and deployment rework rate. Record a baseline first, then compare month by month. Our monthly report shows these numbers next to the work done, so you can judge the plan by results.
Start with one engineer who owns pipelines, infrastructure as code, and monitoring, and make DevOps a shared habit for the developers around them. Hire full-time once there's a full week of that work. Until then, a devops services company on a monthly plan covers the gap and leaves documentation your first hire can build on.
