Who we help

DevOps for startups that are too big to wing it — and too small for a platform team

You're a Series A or B engineering org. Your product has real users. But your infrastructure hasn't kept up with your growth — and it's starting to cost you.

The Series A–B reliability gap

There's a specific stage where infrastructure pain becomes existential. You're past the MVP — you have paying customers, maybe a dozen engineers, and real revenue on the line. But your operations maturity hasn't kept pace with your product velocity.

You're too big for "move fast and break things." A 30-minute outage now means thousands of dollars in lost revenue and real customer trust burned. But you're too small to hire a dedicated platform team — the headcount math doesn't work, and the talent is ferociously expensive.

This is exactly where ProdReady delivers. We provide the DevOps consulting and SRE services you need — without the full-time headcount or the 12-month ramp-up.

Pain points

Sound familiar?

These are the patterns we see again and again in growing engineering teams. If more than one hits home, it's time for a conversation.

⚙️

Your CI/CD pipeline breaks more often than it works

Every deploy is stressful. Someone has to babysit it. Rollbacks are manual, and the last person who understood the pipeline left six months ago. You need CI/CD pipeline setup that your team can actually maintain — not another black box.

🔭

You don't know there's a problem until a customer tells you

Your monitoring is a dashboard nobody checks and alerts nobody trusts. When something breaks at 2 AM, your users find out before you do. You need observability consulting that surfaces the right signals and cuts the noise.

🛡️

On-call is Russian roulette with your sleep

No runbooks, no clear escalation path, and a pager that goes off for things that don't matter. Your engineers dread their rotation. You need SRE services that turn on-call from a punishment into a manageable process.

🔧

You're burning senior engineers on toil

Your best people spend half their week on manual deploys, fighting flaky tests, and debugging the same issues over and over. You need platform engineering retainers that automate the repeatable work so your team can focus on product.

SRE consulting for Series A: what it actually looks like

SRE consulting isn't about throwing monitoring tools at the wall or writing a 50-page reliability manifesto nobody will read. For Series A teams, it's about pragmatic, incremental improvements that stack:

  • Week 1–2: Audit your current stack. What breaks most often? Where are the single points of failure? What's the deploy story?
  • Week 3–4: Fix the highest-leverage problems first — automated deploys, alert tuning, runbooks for your top 3 failure modes.
  • Month 2: Observability that actually tells you what's wrong. Dashboards your team will use. Alert thresholds that aren't noise.
  • Month 3+: SLO definition, game days, on-call process refinement. Your team owns the stack; we coach and support.
