Mikula Systems
MANAGED DEVOPS AND SRE

We keep production boring.

Senior engineers run your infrastructure full time, so your developers do not have to run it part time.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
  • Your developers do DevOps reluctantly, between features.
  • The person who built the setup has moved on.
  • Alerts go to a channel nobody really reads.

Managed is for exactly this. Someone senior takes the pager, the pipelines and the bill, and holds them.

WHAT WE TAKE OFF YOUR PLATE

FOUR THINGS, EVERY WEEK
01

Watching

Monitoring, alerting and incident response. When something breaks at night, our phone rings, not yours.

02

Shipping

CI/CD pipelines, deployments and environments. Releases become routine instead of events.

03

Maintaining

Patching, upgrades, backups and restore drills. The unglamorous work that prevents the glamorous outages.

04

Costs

A monthly cost review with real numbers. Waste gets caught while it is small.

WHAT STAYS YOURS

We do not write your application code. We do not replace your team, we unburden it. And nothing ever gets locked to us: your accounts, your repos, your keys, always.

THE RHYTHM

TWO FIXED POINTS, THE REST IS YOURS

You do not think about your electricity. Infrastructure should feel the same.

Your infrastructure has a rhythm already. We join it.

FIXED
Two things never move: someone is watching your systems, and someone is watching the bill.
YOURS
Deployments move at your release rhythm.
YOURS
Maintenance lands in your quiet hours.
YOURS
Architecture sessions happen when decisions are ahead, not when the calendar says so.

YOUR FIRST TWO WEEKS

FROM ACCESS TO A PLAN
  1. DAY 1

    Access done right: a named account for every engineer, least privilege, every action logged. It is your house, and we only get keys to the rooms we work in.

  2. WEEK 1

    Monitoring and alerting live. We see what you see, then more.

  3. WEEK 2

    First findings and a plan. You decide what happens next.

SHAPED TO YOU

No packages. A fit.

Every engagement is shaped in one short conversation, along three simple dimensions.

Coverage

Business hours, or around the clock.

Depth

Keep the lights on, or plan the road ahead together.

Team

Alongside your engineers, or instead of the hire you have not made.

The result is a fixed monthly amount, agreed before we start. No hourly meters, no surprises. We ask for one quarter to start: setup takes two weeks, and honest results need a little runway. After that, month to month.

QUESTIONS WE GET

ASK US ANYTHING ELSE ON THE CALL
Do you work with our existing DevOps person?
Yes, often as the second pair of hands and the relief for nights and weekends. Good engineers stay longer when they are not alone with the pager.
Can you take over a setup you did not build?
Yes. We learn it, document it, and run it like we built it. Undocumented setups are most of what arrives here.
Why not just hire a DevOps engineer?
If you can find and keep a great one, do it, honestly. The math is the hard part: the search takes months, one person still sleeps, takes vacations and eventually leaves, and 150,000 USD a year is the starting point before benefits. A senior team costs a fraction of that and starts in two weeks.
Do you cover nights and weekends?
If you need it, yes. Coverage is one of the dimensions we shape together.
What stacks do you cover?
Kubernetes and plain servers, AWS, GCP and Azure, and hardware of your own. If it runs in production, it qualifies.
How much does it cost?
A fixed monthly amount based on your setup and the coverage you pick. You will know the exact number before we start, and it will not change mid month.
What if we want to leave?
Month to month after the first quarter. Everything already lives in your accounts, and the handover is part of the deal.

Tell us what is running and who is watching it today.

We will tell you honestly whether managed makes sense for you. Sometimes it does not, and we say so.
