Timișoara, Romania · Remote-first for SaaS teams worldwide

Your infrastructure shouldn't be your developers' problem.

We build, automate and operate reliable cloud infrastructure for growing SaaS companies — so your engineers stay focused on the product, not the pager.

Fixed price · 5–7 working days · Read-only access wherever possible · Nothing to install

Built around hands-on cloud, platform and performance engineering experience — including 10+ years in performance engineering.

Infrastructure AWS · Kubernetes · Terraform Automation CI/CD · GitOps · IaC Reliability Monitoring · Observability · Incident response Performance Load testing · Capacity planning Security IAM · Secrets · Audits

Engineering-led, not sales-led.

Hands-on infrastructure and performance engineering for teams that need production ownership, not another slide deck.

What you get from us

Clear ownership of the infrastructure layer, measurable engineering work and documentation your team can actually operate after delivery.

Production infrastructure Automation & CI/CD Observability Performance validation Security hardening Cloud optimization
Where this usually breaks

The gaps that turn into a 2am incident

Each of these is manageable on its own. Together, they mean nobody has a real answer when a customer asks "why is it down?"

Single point of failure

Deployments that only one person on the team fully understands.

The cluster nobody touches

Kubernetes changes made by trial and error, not by process.

Cost outpacing usage

Cloud spend growing faster than the product it's running.

Blind until a customer tells you

No alerting on the metrics that actually predict downtime.

Manual, tribal changes

Infrastructure changes that live in one person's memory, not in code.

An unknown ceiling

No real answer to "what happens at 3x current traffic?"

Secrets left exposed

Credentials stored in repositories or CI systems without proper rotation or access controls increase the impact of accidental exposure.

No autoscaling, no disaster recovery

A traffic spike overloads fixed capacity, or a zone goes down — and there's no automatic recovery and no tested way back up.

What we do

An external Platform / SRE team, without the hiring cycle

We sell outcomes, not hours: reliable infrastructure, automated deployments, observability, a defensible security posture, performance confidence, and lower cloud cost.

Infrastructure

AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and networking, designed and run for production.

Automation

CI/CD, GitOps and infrastructure-as-code that removes manual, risky changes.

Reliability

Monitoring, observability and incident response, so issues surface before customers do.

Security

IAM, secrets, network policies and access control audited against real-world attack paths — one-off audit or ongoing hardening.

Performance

Load testing, capacity planning and bottleneck analysis grounded in 10+ years of performance engineering.

Optimization

Cloud cost and resource utilization reviews that pay for the engagement on their own.

Engagement model

Start small, prove value, move to a standing team

Fixed-price assessment → implementation project → monthly managed infrastructure → performance & reliability projects.

Ongoing

Managed Infrastructure

€2,000–4,000 / mo

Your external infrastructure / Platform team.

  • AWS & Kubernetes operations, Terraform, CI/CD
  • Monitoring, backups, infrastructure security
  • Business-hours support · on-call priced separately
  • Monthly infrastructure review
Project

Performance & Reliability Engineering

€3,000–10,000

For teams that need a hard answer on capacity.

  • Load testing & capacity planning
  • Database & API bottleneck analysis
  • Kubernetes scaling validation
  • Remediation + retest against target
Illustrative performance engagement

A number you can defend, not a status update

This is an illustrative example of the type of performance engagement we run. Actual results depend on the application, workload and infrastructure.

1,800 → 5,000 req/s
Capacity before vs. validated target

Bottleneck found: database connection pool exhaustion under load

Fix: connection pooling + query tuning, retested against the target

Reliability

Deployments move from a manual, one-person process to a tested, automated pipeline with rollback.

Cost

Infrastructure sized to actual usage instead of last year's guess — without cutting reliability.

FAQ

How the engagement works in practice

Do you need production access?

No. We start with read-only access wherever possible and only request elevated access when a specific implementation task requires it.

Do you replace an internal DevOps team?

We can complement an existing team or act as an external Platform / SRE function for companies that are not ready to build a larger internal team.

Is 24/7 support included?

Business-hours support is included in the standard managed model. 24/7 on-call can be scoped separately.

Which platforms do you support?

AWS is a primary focus, with Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability and performance engineering across modern cloud environments.

Where are you based?

MK Digital Advisory S.R.L. is based in Timișoara, Romania and works remotely with SaaS teams internationally.
