The ByteDel difference

You'll always see what your infrastructure is doing

Most consultants hand over infrastructure you can't see into. Every ByteDel engagement ships with dashboards, SLOs, and alerts by default — no black boxes, no "trust us." If something is slow, you'll know what and why before your customers do.

alerts/slo-burn.rules.yaml
# Alerts page for symptoms users feel — never for CPU blips.
- alert: APIErrorBudgetBurn
  expr: error_rate > 14.4 * slo_budget
  for: 5m
  labels:
    severity: page   # wakes a human
  annotations:
    summary: Users are seeing errors — budget burning 14x too fast
    runbook: runbooks/api-error-burn.md   # written for 3am

SLOs with error budgets

Real reliability targets, agreed with you — not vanity uptime numbers.

99.9% target

Alerts that matter

Pages fire for symptoms your users feel, not for every CPU blip at 3am.

Cost on the same screen

Your cloud bill, tracked next to your traffic — surprises caught in days, not at month-end.

How it works

From call to running infrastructure

  1. 1

    A 15-minute call

    You tell us what you're building and what hurts. We tell you honestly whether we can help — including when the answer is 'you don't need us yet.'

  2. 2

    Fixed-price proposal in 48 hours

    Exact scope, exact price, exact timeline. No estimates that double later, no open-ended hourly billing.

  3. 3

    Delivery — in your accounts

    Everything built as Terraform in your repos and your cloud accounts, with dashboards and docs. You own all of it from day one.

Free tool · 2 minutes

How healthy is your infrastructure?

12 questions, instant score, no email gate. Find your weakest area — shipping, reliability, security, or cost — before it finds you.

Take the health check

Built for trust

Designed so you never have to take our word for it

You own everything

Your cloud accounts, your repos, your dashboards. We work inside them — we never hold your infrastructure hostage.

Flat pricing, always

Fixed project prices and flat retainers. We never bill open-ended hours, so we win by finishing — not by dragging things out.

Honest coverage, in writing

Response within 4 business hours. Clear coverage windows in your contract — and for US teams, issues are often fixed overnight while you sleep.

Leave whenever you want

Cancel the retainer anytime. Because everything is code and docs in your repos, walking away is genuinely easy. That keeps us sharp.

Fit

Who this is for — and who it isn't

A great fit

  • Funded startups with 5–25 engineers
  • No DevOps or platform hire yet
  • Shipping product, worried about infra, cost, or compliance
  • On AWS, GCP, or Azure — or ready to move there

Not a fit

  • Enterprises needing a 24/7 on-call team — we're honest about being a solo senior practice
  • Teams of 25+ engineers — at that size you should hire in-house, and we'll say so
  • Anyone who wants a cheap pair of hands billed by the hour

Questions

The things everyone asks

Why not just hire a full-time DevOps engineer?

You can — it costs $200–300K a year with benefits, and takes 3–6 months to find a good one. Most startups under 25 engineers don't have enough DevOps work to keep that hire busy. We give you the same senior skills for a fraction of the cost, starting next week.

What happens if you disappear?

Nothing breaks, and nothing is lost. Everything we build lives in your repos and your cloud accounts, written as Terraform code with real documentation. Any engineer can pick it up. We designed it this way on purpose — you should never be locked in.

Do we even need DevOps? We're fine on Vercel/Heroku.

Maybe you don't yet — and we'll tell you that on the call. Teams usually come to us when the bill gets scary, an enterprise customer asks for SOC 2, or an outage costs real money. That's when proper infrastructure pays for itself.

An enterprise customer is asking for SOC 2. Can you help?

Yes — that's exactly what the SOC 2-Ready Infrastructure package is for. We implement the infrastructure controls auditors check (access control, logging, encryption, backups, disaster recovery) and wire them into Vanta or Drata so the checks pass and evidence collects automatically. Fixed price, 3–4 weeks, scoped against your compliance platform's checklist.

What timezone are you in?

We're based in India, which covers European hours fully and overlaps US mornings and evenings. For US teams there's a bonus: issues you report at the end of your day are often fixed while you sleep. Response within 4 business hours, always.

Ready to stop worrying about your infrastructure?

A 15-minute call is enough to tell you exactly what we'd do and what it costs. No pitch deck, no pressure.
