DevOps & Hosting in Seattle & beyond
We design infrastructure you can sleep on. Infra-as-code, automated deploys, monitoring, and a documented runbook so your team isn't guessing at 2 a.m.
Infrastructure is invisible when it's done well and catastrophic when it isn't. We design hosting and DevOps setups around three things: deploys that don't scare you, observability that catches problems before customers do, and a monthly bill that matches the actual workload.
Whether that's a managed WordPress stack on our partner OnQ Hosting, a containerized TanStack Start app behind Caddy on your own VM, or a service mesh on GCP, we hand off documented infra-as-code and a runbook your engineers can follow.
Do you need DevOps if you're on shared hosting?
Less than you might think. A marketing site on good shared or static hosting needs deployment discipline and backups, not Kubernetes. DevOps engagement earns its cost when you run applications: databases that need point-in-time recovery, deploys that must not drop traffic, secrets that must rotate, and incidents that need a runbook instead of a panic.
Our sweet spot is the middle: containerized apps on plain VMs with boring, reproducible tooling (Docker, Compose, Caddy, CI/CD), sized to what you run.

FAQ
- Will you support us after launch?
- Yes, through OnQ Hosting or a separate retainer. Either way, you keep the IaC and can leave anytime.
- Can you cut our cloud bill?
- Often, yes. Oversized instances, idle resources, and the wrong storage tiers are the usual culprits. Our founder's SRE team at Classmates cut $1.1 million in AWS costs in six months.
- Do you do PCI or SOC 2 work?
- We've shipped infrastructure into both. We're not auditors, but we work alongside yours.
