DevOps and SRE for AI Startups.

Whatever AI Startups are building, the platform underneath has to ship fast, stay up, and scale without surprises. We place a senior DevOps engineer in your Slack within a week, backed by a lead architect, and bill only for the hours worked. No retainer, no lock-in.

No obligation. You meet your engineer before anything begins.

The hard parts

Where AI infrastructure gets hard

Four things we get right on every platform we run.

Ship safely, and often

Releases should not depend on the one person who knows the deploy. We build CI/CD and infrastructure as code so changes are safe, reviewable, and repeatable.

Handle this with DevOps

Stay up, recover fast

Incidents happen. We put the monitoring, alerting, and on-call behind production so they stay short and rare instead of long and frequent.

Handle this with SRE

Scale when traffic finds you

Growth tests systems built for an earlier stage. We set autoscaling and headroom so a spike is planned capacity, not a 2am incident.

Handle this with Cloud

Keep cloud spend honest

Bills creep when nobody owns them. We bring visibility and controls so spend tracks revenue instead of outrunning it.

The platform

What weโ€™d run for a AI startup

A reference platform we start from, then shape to your stack. The lit nodes are the parts that carry the most AI risk.

How it goes

From first call to a senior engineer in your Slack

Starting is light and reversible. You meet your engineer before a single hour is billed.

  1. Book a call

    A 30 minute call to understand your stack, your goals, and where it hurts. No obligation, nothing to sign.

  2. Deep-dive and work plan

    We assess your infrastructure and write a clear plan: what to do first, what it takes, and what it costs.

  3. Meet your engineer

    We match a senior engineer to your stack. You meet them before anything begins, and they are in your Slack within a week.

  4. A steady rhythm

    Weekly syncs, work in your channels, and a detailed hours log. Pause, resize, or stop with short notice.

A conversation first. You decide whether to go further.

Who actually does the work

The engineer on your account is a senior who has run production at startups like yours, backed by a lead architect who reviews the work. We place senior engineers who make releases safe, production reliable, and cloud spend predictable.

Dean Shandler
Software Team Lead ยท Skyline Robotics
โ€œGood consultants execute on task and deliver as planned. Better consultants overdeliver on their tasks. Great consultants become full technology partners and provide expertise beyond their scope. I am happy to call MeteorOps my technology partners as they overdelivered, provide high-level expertise and I recommend their services as a very happy customer.โ€

Questions

Common questions

What does an engagement actually include?

A senior engineer working in your Slack on your infrastructure, backed by a lead architect. The scope is yours: CI/CD, cloud, reliability, cost, or a specific project.

How fast can someone start?

Usually within a week. You meet the engineer before anything begins, and you only pay for the hours actually worked.

What if we only need occasional help?

That is common. Engage hourly for a piece of work, or keep a steady monthly capacity. There is no retainer and no lock-in.

Do you work with our cloud and stack?

We work across AWS and GCP, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and the common observability and CI/CD tooling. We meet your stack where it is.
