Cloud Engineering
Services & Pricing
Cloud engineering expertise without the cost of building an entire DevOps team.
We help growing companies build, automate, modernize, and maintain their cloud infrastructure — from AWS architecture and Terraform to CI/CD, deployments, security, and ongoing DevOps engineering.
Engagement Models
Senior cloud expertise, scoped to fit
Cloud Assessment
Starting at $2,500
Find out what’s wrong before spending money fixing it. For teams needing an experienced outside perspective on AWS, infrastructure, or deployments. Includes AWS architecture, Terraform, CI/CD, IAM and security, cost, reliability, and performance reviews, plus prioritized recommendations and an implementation roadmap. Larger or more complex environments are quoted based on scope.
Engineering Projects
Starting at $5,000
Fixed-price engineering projects with clearly defined outcomes. AWS modernization, Terraform implementation, CI/CD automation, GitLab or GitHub to AWS deployments, ECS, migrations, automation, IAM, performance, scalability, and legacy modernization. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Clear deliverables.
Typical projects: $5,000–$75,000+.
Fractional Cloud Engineering
Starting at $3,000/month
Ongoing cloud engineering without hiring another full-time engineer. Get experienced support for AWS infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD, deployment automation, architecture, troubleshooting, monitoring, reliability, security, and modernization.
Monthly Engineering Plans
Flexible monthly capacity for teams that need senior cloud engineering support and clear priorities.
$3,000/month

Monthly architecture review and proactive recommendations
$10,000/month
Engineering Partner
For Growing Engineering Teams. Up to 50 hours/month
Dedicated capacity and AWS ownership
CI/CD, cloud architecture, Terraform/IaC, and security
Performance, scalability, modernization, and planning
Additional Engineering
Support when scope is still emerging
Standard Engineering
$175/hr for difficult-to-scope work or work beyond fixed-price engagements.
Architecture & Advisory
$225/hr for senior technical guidance, architecture decisions, and planning.
Priority Engineering
$275/hr for urgent production issues and time-sensitive engineering.
Clear Scope First
When outcomes can be defined, fixed-price work remains the preferred approach.
Fixed-Price Projects
You shouldn’t have to buy an unknown number of engineering hours.
When a project can be clearly defined, we prefer fixed-price engagements. You know what we’re building, what you’ll receive, and what it will cost before work begins.
Assess
Understand the environment, constraints, and desired outcomes.
Plan
Define scope, deliverables, dependencies, and the implementation path.
Build
Execute the agreed engineering work with clear progress and decisions.
Document → Handoff
Leave your team with usable documentation and a reliable next step.
Example Engagement
From infrastructure problems to a reliable deployment platform
A phased engagement gives teams a clear path from discovery to durable operations.
01
Phase 1 — Assessment
$3,500
Review AWS infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD, IAM, deployment process, and operational issues.
02
Phase 2 — Implementation
$15,000
Modernize infrastructure, automate deployments, improve IAM and secrets handling, implement reliable workflows, and document the environment.
03
Phase 3 — Ongoing Engineering
$5,000/month
Continue improvements, troubleshooting, automation, and DevOps support. Example pricing only. Actual project pricing depends on scope, infrastructure complexity, and required deliverables.
What Determines Project Pricing?
A $5,000 project and a $50,000 project can both be reasonable when the scope, risk, and required deliverables are different.
AWS environment
Number of accounts, services, regions, and the complexity of the current environment.
Infrastructure condition
Current reliability, documentation, technical debt, and Terraform or IaC maturity.
Applications and CI/CD
Application count, deployment workflows, integrations, and CI/CD complexity.
Security and migrations
IAM, secrets, compliance needs, migration requirements, and availability targets.
Timeline and urgency
Required delivery timeline, production risk, and urgency of the work.
Scope clarity
Clear deliverables support fixed pricing; emerging work is better handled with transparent hourly engineering.
Who We Work With
Built for teams that have outgrown DIY cloud infrastructure.
Growing SaaS Companies
Teams building products that need dependable cloud foundations.
Software Companies
Engineering organizations scaling AWS and delivery practices.
Teams Without DevOps
Companies that need senior cloud expertise without a full-time hire.
Deployment Challenges
Teams dealing with unreliable releases, manual steps, or fragile production systems.
Legacy Modernization
Organizations ready to improve aging infrastructure and operational practices.
Scaling AWS
Teams preparing for greater complexity, reliability, and performance demands.
Common Problems
Common Problems We Solve
Deployments are too manual
Automate the path from Git commit to production.
AWS is unclear
Document, stabilize, and modernize the infrastructure.
Terraform is unmanageable
Create maintainable infrastructure-as-code.
AWS costs keep growing
Identify unnecessary infrastructure and improve cloud efficiency.
Need DevOps expertise
Provide fractional cloud engineering capacity.
Production is fragile
Improve reliability, monitoring, deployment processes, and infrastructure.
