Complete Pricing Overview
All packages, services, and add-ons in one place—choose what fits your stage.
Architecture & Readiness Review: FREE
Essentials (Automation Jumpstart)
For teams shipping their first production workloads or cleaning up early tech debt.
Baseline Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines with automated testing gates, security scans, and controlled release workflows to ensure every deployment is safe and repeatable.
GitOps workflow and environment promotion strategy (dev→staging→prod) with declarative configuration management, automated approvals, and environment-specific variable handling for consistent deployments across all stages.
Observability Lite package including centralized logging (logs), application and infrastructure metrics (metrics), distributed tracing (traces), operational runbooks for common scenarios, and custom dashboards for real-time system visibility.
Security & compliance technical controls baked directly into your CI/CD pipelines—including secrets management, static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST), role-based access controls, and comprehensive audit trails aligned to SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements. We implement the technical controls and advise on policy; you own internal corporate policies.
Cost guardrails and basic FinOps review including budget alerts, resource tagging strategy, rightsizing recommendations, and monthly spend analysis to prevent cloud cost surprises and identify immediate savings opportunities.
Business-hours support with best-effort response times for incidents, questions, and change requests via Slack or email during standard working hours.
Scale (Platform Growth)
For teams adding teams/services, multi-env workflows, or higher reliability targets.
Multi-service CI/CD pipelines with integrated test gates, automated security scanning, progressive delivery strategies (canary/blue-green), and instant rollback capabilities to enable fast, safe deployments across multiple applications and services simultaneously.
Kubernetes and container hardening including security policies, network policies, RBAC configuration, cluster add-ons (ingress, service mesh, monitoring), horizontal and vertical pod autoscaling, and resource quota management for efficient, secure container orchestration.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) foundations including Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Agreements (SLA) definition, intelligent alert strategy to reduce noise, incident response procedures, post-mortem templates, and on-call rotation setup for measurable reliability targets.
Monthly cost optimization and performance tuning sessions with detailed savings plan recommendations, reserved instance strategies, spot instance opportunities, resource rightsizing analysis, and waste elimination to continuously reduce cloud spend while maintaining or improving performance.
Enhanced compliance evidence capture system that automatically collects and archives pipeline artifacts, build logs, deployment records, access logs, and security scan results for streamlined audit preparation and regulatory compliance verification.
On-call coverage 24×5 (Monday through Friday, around the clock) with priority response times, dedicated escalation paths, and proactive monitoring to catch and resolve issues before they impact your users.
Platform (Enterprise)
For regulated or mission-critical platforms needing high scale and uptime.
Multi-region deployment patterns, high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) architecture, chaos engineering experiments, and scheduled failover drills to ensure your platform can withstand regional outages and maintain business continuity under any circumstance.
Automated compliance evidence collection across all environments with audit-ready exports, continuous compliance monitoring, automated policy enforcement, and complete audit trail generation to simplify SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance audits and reduce preparation time from weeks to hours.
Deep observability implementation with golden signals monitoring (latency, traffic, errors, saturation), distributed tracing strategy across microservices, comprehensive service dependency maps, and correlation analysis to quickly diagnose complex issues in distributed systems.
Quarterly resilience testing exercises, comprehensive capacity planning based on growth projections, load testing with realistic traffic patterns, stress testing to identify breaking points, and performance benchmarking to ensure your platform scales smoothly as demand grows.
24×7 on-call coverage with contractually defined response and resolution Service Level Agreements (SLAs), escalation procedures, war room protocols, and guaranteed availability metrics to ensure critical incidents are resolved swiftly at any time of day or night.
Dedicated staff/principal architect and engagement manager assigned exclusively to your account for strategic planning, technical governance, stakeholder communication, and ensuring alignment between engineering execution and business objectives.
Services (Automation-First)
Full-spectrum engineering from architecture to 24×7 operations.
Design resilient, modular architectures with clearly defined service boundaries, domain models, data flow patterns, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and strategic technology roadmaps that align with business growth.
Implement everything as code including Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform or OpenTofu, GitOps workflows for declarative deployments, policy-as-code for automated compliance enforcement, and golden path templates that standardize and accelerate delivery across all teams and projects.
Build standardized CI/CD pipelines with automated testing gates, integrated security scanning, trunk-based development flows, feature flagging for controlled rollouts, progressive delivery patterns (canary deployments, blue-green strategies), and automated rollback mechanisms to enable safe, rapid, and confident releases.
Deploy optimally sized cloud solutions including secure landing zones with organizational structure, multi-region VPC networking with proper segmentation, Kubernetes cluster setup and configuration, container runtime security hardening, image vulnerability scanning, and seamless integration with cloud-native services (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Implement unified observability with centralized logging, comprehensive metrics collection, distributed tracing across services, intelligent alerting rules that minimize noise while catching real issues, detailed operational runbooks for common scenarios, incident response procedures, and regular on-call training drills to ensure team readiness.
Embed technical security controls directly into CI/CD pipelines—automated secrets management with rotation policies, role-based access control (RBAC), static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST), encryption at rest and in transit, comprehensive audit logging and trails—all aligned to SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance frameworks. We implement technical controls and advise on policy; you own internal corporate policies.
Optimize both system performance and cloud costs through strategic capacity planning, comprehensive load and stress testing, intelligent caching layer design, storage tier optimization (hot/warm/cold), database query tuning, and proactive cost governance with budget alerts, tag strategies, and automated savings recommendations.
Safely refactor legacy monolithic applications into modern service-oriented or cloud-native microservices architectures at a controlled, risk-managed pace—breaking down technical debt, improving code maintainability, enabling independent service deployment, and accelerating feature development without disrupting ongoing business operations or customer experience.
Build or modernize complete software products including scalable backend services, responsive frontend interfaces, RESTful and GraphQL API design, database schema design and optimization, and data pipeline architecture—engineered once with clean architecture principles, built right from the start, ensuring long-term maintainability as your product evolves and scales to millions of users.
