The problem
"It works on staging" is the most expensive sentence in software. So is "I think we changed something but I’m not sure," and "the metrics dashboard? Yeah, no one looks at it."
Good infra is invisible. Repeatable deploys, recoverable databases, observable systems, runnable runbooks. The work is mostly Terraform and patience.
What we set up so you don’t have to.
In the order most teams ignore them until 2 a.m.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform / Pulumi / SST. Your cloud reproducible from a clean repo. Drift detection in CI.
CI/CD that’s actually CD
PR previews, type checks, tests, security scans. Trunk → staging → prod, automatic.
Observability stack
Logs, metrics, traces — wired to Grafana / Datadog / Better Stack. Dashboards that match your SLOs.
On-call & incident response
Pagerduty / Better Stack rotation, runbooks per service, blameless post-mortems.
Backups & disaster recovery
Tested restore drills (yes, actually tested). Documented RTO/RPO.
Cost guardrails
Budget alerts, autoscaling caps, idle-resource sweeps. AWS bills that don’t become incidents.
What you get, shipped.
Concrete artifacts, not slide decks. Every engagement ends with these in your repo, your cloud, your hands.
Terraform repo
Modules per environment, remote state, encrypted secrets, drift detection in CI.
CI/CD pipelines
GitHub Actions or similar — preview, staging, prod with proper approvals.
Observability dashboards
SLO-driven, with alerts that page only on real customer impact.
Runbooks
A markdown per service: "what wakes you up, what to check, what to do."
Backup + restore tests
Quarterly restore drill scheduled in CI. Receipts, not promises.
On-call playbook
Rotation setup, escalation, post-mortem template, severity matrix.
Four to eight weeks to a calmer pager.
Audit
Inventory cloud accounts, deploys, alerts, runbooks. SLO conversation. Risk register.
Foundation
IaC, CI/CD, secrets, environments. The shape of the platform.
Observability
Logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, SLOs, alerting. Quiet pager wherever possible.
Handoff
Runbooks, on-call rotation, restore drill, training. Your team owns it.
Tools we reach for, by default.
Not religious about any of these — we'll use what your team can maintain after we leave.
Other things we build.
Most engagements blend two or three of these. If you're not sure where your project fits, send us a brief and we'll suggest the right slice.
Web platforms
Marketing sites, dashboards, portals, content systems. Built for speed, accessibility, and edit-ability by your team.
Product engineering
SaaS, MVPs, internal tools — typed APIs, real-time data, auth, billing, observability.
Design systems
Tokens, components, Figma kits — versioned, themable, generated from one source of truth.
Quieter pagers. Cheaper bills.
