Where Projects Like This Go Wrong

These are the patterns we are usually called in to fix. Each one compounds the longer it is left alone.

Manual Server Changes

Hand-edited servers drift apart, and nobody can reproduce production when something breaks.

Risky Release Nights

Big-bang releases that need weekend windows and a rollback plan nobody has rehearsed.

Surprise Cloud Bills

Idle capacity and unowned resources quietly inflate monthly spend.

How It Works: Seven Stages With Review Points

Each stage ends with a review point, so you see progress, approve direction and catch problems before they get expensive.

STAGE 01

Discover

System audits, threat modeling, and stakeholder alignment.

Architecture Spec
STAGE 02

Plan

Capacity modeling, schema design, and milestone mapping.

SOW & Milestones
STAGE 03

Design

Design tokens, interactive prototypes, WCAG audit.

Prototype Sign-off
STAGE 04

Develop

Test-driven development, trunk builds, strict peer reviews.

90%+ Test Coverage
STAGE 05

Test

Automated regression, pen-testing, load simulation.

SecOps Clearance
STAGE 06

Launch

Canary traffic rollout, automated failover verification.

Zero-Downtime Live
STAGE 07

Support

24/7 SRE monitoring, automated patch matrix, latency SLA.

99.995% SLA Loop

Scope of Work: What Is Included

We build cloud foundations that are reproducible from a single repository: networks, clusters, secrets and pipelines are declared as code, reviewed like code, and rolled back like code.

Infrastructure audit

Review of your current environments, costs, access and risks

Infrastructure as code

Networks, clusters, data stores and identity declared in Terraform and peer reviewed

Kubernetes platform

Managed cluster setup with autoscaling, policies and secrets handling

Delivery pipelines

GitOps pipelines with automated tests, progressive rollouts and rollback

Observability

Metrics, logs and traces with SLO-based alerting

Runbooks and recovery

Incident runbooks and tested disaster recovery procedures

Core Engineering Capabilities

What we build under this service, each piece designed and built by senior engineers and reviewed at every stage.

Kubernetes Platforms

Managed EKS, GKE and AKS clusters with autoscaling, policy enforcement and service mesh built in.

Self-Healing

GitOps Pipelines

Declarative delivery with progressive rollouts, automated rollback and drift detection.

Progressive Delivery

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform modules for networks, data stores and identity, versioned and peer reviewed.

Declarative IaC

Observability and SRE

Metrics, traces and logs with SLO-based alerting, on-call runbooks and incident reviews.

SLO Driven

Why Choose Oblique Tech

What changes when senior engineers own the outcome from the first call to long after launch.

Immutable, Declared Infrastructure

Every environment is rebuilt from code, so staging matches production and recovery is a pipeline run.

Progressive, Automated Delivery

Canary rollouts with automated health gates ship small changes daily and revert on their own.

Right-Sized, Tagged Estates

Autoscaling, budgets and cost allocation tags keep spend tied to the workloads that earn it.

How We Compare

An honest look at the alternatives, so you can choose the route that fits your team.

Criteria	Oblique Tech	In-house team	Freelance DevOps	Managed provider
Platform and SRE depth	Dedicated platform engineers	Hard to hire and retain	One person, narrow range	Generalist teams
Time to start	Days after scoping	Months to recruit	Days to weeks	Weeks of procurement
Seniority	Senior engineers only	Depends on who you hire	Varies by individual	Often mixed with juniors
Code ownership	100% yours	Yours	Usually yours, check the contract	Depends on the contract
Continuity	Documented handover and a stable team	Tied to staff retention	Single point of failure	Staff can rotate between projects
Cost model	Fixed scope or monthly rate	Salary plus overhead	Hourly, can drift	Premium rates and change orders
Visibility	Sprint demos and shared repositories	Internal reporting	Self-managed	Account manager reports

Industries and Use Cases

Where this service is put to work most often.

Scaling Products

Teams outgrowing manual deploys and single-region hosting.

Regulated Workloads

Environments that need audit trails, least-privilege access and encrypted data paths.

Cost-Conscious Platforms

Estates carrying idle capacity that needs right-sizing and autoscaling.

Platform Teams

Engineering organizations that want a paved road for every squad.

Questions teams ask before starting

Direct answers on ownership, process, scope and support, so you can judge fit before the first call.

Which clouds do you work with?

We build on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, and design multi-cloud or multi-region topologies when resilience or data residency requires it.

Can you take over an existing environment?

Yes. We begin with an infrastructure audit, codify what exists, and migrate workloads in stages without interrupting production.

How do you handle incidents after launch?

Our SRE tier provides 24/7 monitoring, a defined response SLA for critical incidents, blameless reviews and regular disaster-recovery drills.
