Are you based in Chennai?

We are an India-based studio, not a Chennai office listing. We collaborate with Chennai teams on IST hours with a written brief and a named delivery path.

Do you only build consumer apps?

No. A large share of the work is internal tools, admin, and product surfaces that have to survive real operations — including teams in Chennai.

What does a first conversation include?

The problem, the users, constraints, and what is out of scope. We will not invent a Chennai-specific price list.

How is this different from the DevOps service?

DevOps is a build: we design and implement pipelines, environments, and rollback paths. DevOps as a Service is ongoing operation of that system. If the rails are not there yet, we start with DevOps — not a retainer on folklore.

Is this the same as Maintenance & Support?

No. Maintenance covers the application: bugs, dependency upgrades, small product fixes. This retainer covers the delivery platform — pipelines, environments, and infrastructure operations. Many teams buy both; they are not substitutes.

Is 24/7 on-call included?

Only when explicitly scoped. Default windows are business-hours with an agreed escalation path. We will not sell “always on” and staff it as a vibe.

Do you require Kubernetes?

No. We operate the smallest platform that matches how you ship. Containers without a cluster when that is enough; Kubernetes when the operating model already needs it.

Quote after a written brief. We write a scoped proposal before build starts — no invented fixed quotes for open-ended work.

DevOps as a Service · Chennai, India

DevOps as a Service for teams in Chennai

Chennai product and operations teams often sit between manufacturing discipline and software that has to last. We design and build systems that operators can run — APIs, admin, and the unglamorous work after launch — without dressing a remote studio as a local branch. Hours already match. Scope stays written. A managed DevOps practice on your stack — pipelines, environments, and incident windows owned as a service, not a one-off project that goes quiet after week four.

Onboarding typically 1–2 weeks after access; then an ongoing retainer. Cadence agreed before we take the wheel.

Chennai is IST. Delivery, reviews, and incident windows run on the same working day as your engineering team.

Managed DevOps operations desk with CI pipelines and observability

Problem

A pipeline nobody operates is still a bus factor.

Standing up CI/CD is not the same as owning it. Alerts fire into a void, certificates expire, and the engineer who remembered the promotion path has already moved on.

Hiring a full SRE bench for a product that ships weekly is often the wrong shape. You need operating cadence — not a six-month platform rewrite.

Solution

We run the delivery system. You keep the product.

DevOps as a Service is a retainer: we operate pipelines, environments, secrets, and observability on an agreed cadence — with incident help inside written windows.

It is not a rename of a two-week CI setup, and it is not unlimited on-call. If the foundation is missing, we say so and point at a DevOps build first.

Who this is for

A fit when the problem looks like this.

Product teams that already ship and need someone to own the rails — not another project kickoff
Companies that cannot justify a full SRE hire but still have production software
Studios whose last DevOps engagement left runbooks nobody updates
Operators who want incident windows in writing, not a Slack channel that goes quiet at 6pm

Capabilities

What we deliver in this practice.

Ongoing ownership of CI/CD pipelines and promotion paths
Environment hygiene (dev / staging / production) as they drift
Secrets, certificates, and dependency/platform upgrades on the delivery stack
Observability follow-through — alerts that get a response, not a dashboard nobody opens
Incident assistance inside agreed windows
Capacity and cost signals on the infrastructure you actually run
Written operating notes so your team is not locked out of its own platform

Process

How this service actually runs.

01
Assess the rails
Pipelines, environments, access, and what we will not pretend to operate. Decline is a valid outcome if the foundation is unsafe.
02
Write the windows
Retainer cadence, response expectations, and whether 24/7 is actually in scope (default: it is not).
03
Take the wheel
We operate the agreed surface: deploys, promotions, secrets, and the monitors that matter.
04
Handle drift
Certificates, runners, cluster/node upgrades, and the unglamorous work that keeps Friday releases boring.
05
Review the month
What fired, what we changed, what is still a product-team problem. No vanity uptime theatre.

Every serious build still follows the studio path — Discover through Improve. See the full studio process.

Technology

Deliverables

What you leave with.

Agreed operating cadence and incident windows in writing
Ongoing pipeline and environment ownership for the scoped repos
Tracked changes and release notes for platform work
Alert follow-through on the paths we agreed to watch
A written list of what this retainer does not cover — including 24/7 unless scoped

Outcomes

What this is meant to change.

A delivery system that still works when the original setup engineer is gone
Incident help you can plan around — including what happens after hours
Product engineers spending time on product, not on expired certs and stuck runners

Teams in Chennai

Who this page is for.

Industrial and operations-heavy product teams
SaaS serving domestic and export customers
Founders who need a maintainable first slice, not a pitch deck

The practice itself is unchanged. Read the DevOps as a Service page for the full offering without a location overlay.

Starting price

Honest commercial footing.

Quote after a written brief

Scope drives the number. You get a written proposal before build starts — not a surprise invoice after.

This practice typically sits in our Infrastructure pricing lane — still a scoped proposal, not a menu quote.
