HOW YOU ENGAGE

Operations Services

Long-term embedded TechPods that keep your systems stable, secure, and cost-efficient—so your engineers can focus on innovation, not firefighting.
ENGAGEMENT MODEL

When to Choose Operations

When reliability matters most, experience is non-negotiable.

Operations services provide long-term TechPods that take ownership of day-to-day platform stability, security, and optimization. These aren't black-box managed services or seat-fillers—they're integrated extensions of your team that blend strategic guidance with hands-on execution.

You need Operations services when:

  • Your platform is stable but requires constant care, feeding, and optimization
  • Your engineers are stretched thin between product work and operational toil
  • You need 24/7 coverage or specialized expertise (SRE, SecOps, FinOps, IT) without hiring full-time
  • You want continuous improvement, not just "keep the lights on"

What you get: Embedded teams (2-4 engineers) with continuity, redundancy, and proven playbooks. They operate within your toolchain, attend your standups, and drive both reactive support and proactive roadmap initiatives.

Typical timeline: 12+ months (ongoing partnership)

Typical team: Staff Engineer + 1-3 specialists (SRE, SecOps, FinOps, Platform)

How it works

The Operations TechPod Model

What Makes Operations TechPods Different:

  • Strategic + tactical: We don't just respond to tickets—we own a roadmap of improvements and execute projects that increase reliability, security, and efficiency
  • Embedded integration: We work in your Slack, your Jira, your monitoring tools, your runbooks—not a separate support queue
  • Built-in redundancy: Multi-person teams ensure coverage during PTO, handoffs, and knowledge sharing
  • Outcome-focused: We're measured on SLOs, cost savings, incident reduction—not ticket velocity
  • Scalable: Teams flex up or down as priorities evolve

Typical Scope Mix:

  • 60% Operational Excellence: Monitoring, incident response, on-call coverage, runbook automation
  • 30% Proactive Projects: Cost optimization, security hardening, tooling improvements, migrations
  • 10% Strategic Planning: Quarterly roadmaps, capacity planning, architecture evolution

Common Questions

How does an Operations TechPod differ from managed services?

Managed services operate in a black box with limited visibility and rigid processes. TechPods integrate directly into your environment, tools, and workflows—acting as a seamless extension of your team with full transparency.

Do TechPods work onsite or remote?

Remote-first by design. We embed through your toolchain, communication stack (Slack, Zoom), and collaboration workflows. No need for office space.

What if we need to scale up or down?

TechPods are designed to flex as your priorities evolve. We can add specialists (SecOps, FinOps, etc.) or scale down as your internal team grows—ensuring continuous coverage without waste.

Can TechPods handle both reactive support and strategic projects?

Yes—that's the model. 60% operational excellence, 30% proactive improvements, 10% strategic planning. You get both stability and continuous evolution.
