WHAT WE DO

FOUR WAYS TO WORK WITH US
FLAGSHIP·monthly retainer · on call

We run your infrastructure day to day: monitoring, incident response, deployments, patching, backups and cost control. You stop thinking about servers.

FinOps · audit first

We audit your AWS, GCP or Azure spend, find the waste in compute, storage, Kubernetes and traffic, and typically cut 20 to 40 percent. Then we keep it from creeping back.

CI/CD · IaC · Kubernetes

Pipelines, infrastructure as code with Terraform, Kubernetes clusters, and migrations in any direction, including off the cloud when the math says so. Fixed scope, fixed price.

architecture · hiring · due diligence

Architecture, technology decisions, hiring help and steady technical leadership, without putting an executive on payroll.

WHERE WE ARE USEFUL

IF ONE OF THESE IS YOU, WE SHOULD TALK
  • SaaS that outgrew its first setup.
  • E-commerce with seasonal peaks.
  • Agencies that build products but not infrastructure.
  • Teams with one overloaded DevOps person.
  • Regulated data that needs its own hardware.
  • The setup nobody fully understands anymore.

WHERE IT RUNS

VENDOR NEUTRAL BY DEFAULT

We are not tied to any vendor.Your infrastructure can live wherever it serves you best.

Your cloud

AWS, GCP, or Azure. We manage and optimize what you already have.

Your hardware

On premise and hybrid setups get the same discipline as any cloud.

Our servers

One team and one bill, on infrastructure under our roof.

OUR OWN METAL

Your cloud and your hardware come first.But we also run metal of our own: six locations on two continents.When one team and one bill sounds right, your systems are welcome on ours.

HOW WE THINK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE

FIVE RULES WE DO NOT BEND
Boring is good.
Excitement in production is a failure of planning.
Everything as code.
If it is not in the repo, it does not exist.
Small blast radius.
Changes should be easy to make and easy to undo.
You own everything.
Your accounts, your repos, your keys.
Honest math.
If leaving the cloud is cheaper, we say so.
WHO YOU ARE HIRING

Mikula is a family name.

Founder led, senior only. When we run your infrastructure, our reputation runs with it.

HOW WORK REACHES US

You talk to engineers.

No account managers, no coordinators, no telephone game. Every call and every ticket is handled by a senior engineer who actually works on your systems.

QUESTIONS WE GET

ASK US ANYTHING ELSE ON THE CALL

How does an engagement start?

A 30-minute call, then read-only access. Within two weeks you get findings and a plan with prices attached. Nothing is committed before that.

Who owns the accounts and the code?

You do, always. We work inside your organization under our own named accounts, and everything we write lands in your repositories.

What does it cost?

Audits and builds are fixed price, quoted after the first call. Managed DevOps and SRE is a monthly retainer sized to your setup. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
