Back to all services Service ยท Retainer

A senior engineer on retainer. The work nobody else wants.

Upgrades that get postponed. Patches that never land. Optimizations that pay for themselves but never get prioritized. Incident response that needs someone who knows the system. Monthly retainer covers all of it.

  • Regular maintenance: upgrades, patches, certificate rotation, dependency updates
