The DevOps team you keep meaning to hire.
Your engineers are building the product, and running the infrastructure on the side. Jet1 takes deploys, AWS, and on-call off their plates: a senior team, SLA-backed, for a fraction of the cost of one hire.
With an engineer, not a salesperson. You'll leave with the three things we'd fix first, whether or not you hire us.
You don't have a DevOps problem. You have a DevOps vacancy.
Three things we hear on almost every first call.
“We deploy at night, just in case.”
Every release needs a maintenance window, a senior engineer on standby, and a quiet Slack channel. So releases get bigger, rarer, and riskier, and the roadmap slows down to protect production.
“The bill doubled and nobody can say why.”
Instances sized in a hurry, environments nobody switched off, services that duplicate each other. The spend creeps every month, and the only people who could untangle it are busy shipping features.
“Only one person understands our setup.”
A contractor or an early engineer wired everything together, and left, or might. It works, but nobody dares touch it, so every infrastructure change waits on one person's calendar.
None of this means your engineers aren't good. It means they're doing two jobs.
The same three problems, ninety days in.
We take over the pipeline, the AWS account, and the on-call. Here's what that looks like.
Deploys become boring
Push to main. Tests run, the image builds, traffic shifts only when health checks pass, and anything unhealthy rolls back by itself in under 90 seconds. No maintenance windows, no one on standby, no deploying at night.
The bill starts making sense
Your whole setup moves into code, where waste has nowhere to hide. Cost-review pull requests, right-sizing, cleanup, reservations, land in your repo every month, and you approve each one and see what it saved.
The bus factor goes away
Infrastructure lives in your repos as code, with runbooks your team can actually follow, and a whole team that knows your stack instead of one person. If anyone leaves, including us, everything keeps working.
What this looked like for FTL Transport.
A freight platform running 24/7, where every release used to mean a manual SSH copy and 45–120 seconds of downtime. Now every push to main ships itself.
We learn your setup before we touch production.
No rip-and-replace. We map what you have, agree on what matters first, and build in your cloud accounts, nothing reaches production without your sign-off.
-
Discover We go through your stack, cloud accounts, and deploy flow with you. What's solid stays; what's fragile gets flagged.
-
Align You get a short priority list and a timeline, not a 40-page audit. Nothing changes until you've signed off.
-
Build Pipelines, infrastructure as code, and monitoring land in your repos and your accounts, version-controlled, owned by you.
-
Operate We watch it, respond when something's off, and keep tuning as you grow, SLA-backed from day one.
