Why Teams Call Us
Real Infrastructure Pain
We get the calls when teams are facing real operational challenges, not just looking for extra hands.
Common Triggers
- Understaffed platform teams
"We have 3 people managing infrastructure for 50 engineers, and we're drowning."
- Mounting technical debt
"Our infrastructure was built quickly, and now we're paying the price with constant firefighting."
- Compliance deadlines
"We need to be SOC 2 compliant in 3 months, and our infrastructure documentation is nonexistent."
- Reliability concerns
"We've had three major outages this quarter, and we don't have the expertise to fix the root causes."
How We Plug Into Your Team
We don't replace your team. We augment it. We join your Slack, attend your standups, and become an extension of your engineering organization. Our goal is to handle the infrastructure so your team can focus on what matters most: your product.
We're Not Just Monitoring
Infrastructure as Code
- Terraform module development
- CI/CD pipeline integration
- State management & drift detection
- Policy as code implementation
Security & Compliance
- Continuous security monitoring
- Compliance automation
- Vulnerability management
- Audit preparation & support
Operational Excellence
- Observability implementation
- Incident response & management
- Backup & disaster recovery
- Performance optimization
End-to-End Infrastructure Stewardship
We don't just monitor your systems and respond to alerts. We take ownership of your infrastructure's health, evolution, and long-term success. This means proactively identifying and addressing issues before they impact your business, continuously improving your infrastructure posture, and ensuring your systems scale with your needs.
DIY vs Terrateam
| Aspect | Self-Managed Infrastructure | With Terrateam |
|---|---|---|
| Staffing Requirements | 3-5 FTEs for platform team | 1 FTE + Terrateam for coordination |
| Infrastructure as Code | ad-hoc implementation | terraform with best practices |
| Monitoring & Alerting | alert(all_the_things) | alert(actionable_signals) |
| Incident Response | if (3am) { wake_engineer() } | terrateam.handle(incident) |
| Security Posture | // TODO: security | continuous_security_scanning() |
| Documentation | /* See Slack history */ | comprehensive_docs.md |
| Cost Management | surprise_bill.xlsx | predictable_costs.plan |

Why Teams Stick With Us
We Write the Terraform No One Wants to Touch
Every team has those critical but complex infrastructure components that everyone avoids modifying. We specialize in taming these beasts by refactoring legacy Terraform, implementing best practices, and making your infrastructure maintainable.
We Make Your Alerts Go Quiet. And Stay Quiet.
We don't just respond to incidents. We eliminate their root causes. Our goal is to reduce alert fatigue and build systems that don't wake you up at night. We measure our success by the silence of your notification channels.
Case Study: From Chaos to Control
A rapidly growing healthcare analytics company was struggling with infrastructure reliability as they scaled from 10 to 50 engineers. Their small DevOps team couldn't keep up with the demands of their growing platform.
Frequent outages, no infrastructure as code, and manual deployments causing reliability issues and slowing down feature delivery.
Embedded two Terrateam engineers to implement Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive monitoring while training the internal team.
99.99% uptime (up from 98.5%), deployment frequency increased 3x, and successful SOC 2 certification within 6 months.
Our Approach
Infrastructure as Code
Migrated manual AWS configurations to Terraform modules with proper state management.
Observability Stack
Implemented comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting with meaningful thresholds.
Deployment Automation
Built CI/CD pipelines with proper testing and validation gates.
Knowledge Transfer
Paired with internal team to build capabilities and ensure long-term success.
Service Features
24/7 Support
Round-the-clock monitoring and incident response
Security First
Proactive security posture and compliance management
Multi-Cloud
Expert support across AWS, GCP, and Azure
Embedded Model
We work as part of your team, not a distant vendor
