Fractional platform engineering // early-stage SaaS

Ship fast without your infrastructure falling over.

I help early SaaS startups get automated deploys, reliable cloud, and audit-ready infrastructure, so your engineers build features instead of fighting servers, and you don't need to hire a full platform team yet.

Clouds and platforms I work with

The problem

You're shipping, but the infra is holding you back.

You raised, the team is growing, and the cracks are starting to show.

Manual deploys

Releases are slow and manual, and only the one person "who knows the server" can run them.

Outages

Every incident pulls your best engineers off the roadmap and into firefighting.

Compliance

A customer or investor just asked about SOC 2, backups, or security, and you don't have a clean answer.

Hiring gap

A full-time DevOps or SRE hire is expensive, slow, and probably overkill right now.

You don't need a platform team. You need someone who has done this many times before to set it up right, once.

The engagement

Deploy-Ready in 30 Days

In four weeks I get your infrastructure to a place where shipping is safe, boring, and automatic, and you can look an auditor in the eye.

Scope of work

scoped · 4 weeks · fixed-price or hourly
  • Automated CI/CD Push code, it ships. No more manual, high-risk deploys.
  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform) Your whole setup versioned and reproducible. No tribal knowledge.
  • Hardened cloud / Kubernetes Right-sized, secure, and stable under real traffic.
  • SOC 2-aligned foundations Access control, logging, backups, and monitoring you can stand behind.
Outcome: engineers ship faster, outages stop derailing the week, and "is our infra secure and compliant?" becomes a confident yes. See if we're a fit

After the 30 days: want me to keep the lights on? I offer a monthly retainer for ongoing ops, reliability, and, as you scale, cloud cost optimization and bigger architecture work. No lock-in.

Smaller engagements

Not every fix needs four weeks.

Sometimes you just need one thing done right, or an experienced pair of hands for a bit. For those, I work by the hour, scoped to exactly what you need, no four-week commitment.

One-time cloud or server setup

A new environment or service stood up correctly the first time.

Backup and restore checks

Confirm your backups actually restore, before you need them to.

Cost review and right-sizing

Find the overprovisioned resources inflating your bill and trim them safely.

CI/CD and deploy fixes

Unblock a broken pipeline or steady a shaky release process.

Monitoring and alerting setup

Dashboards and alerts that surface issues before your customers do.

Access and security hardening

A focused pass over IAM, secrets, backups, and access controls.

Who you're working with

Hi, I'm Ravi.

I've spent 10+ years keeping production infrastructure alive, the kind that can't go down. I've run platforms at the scale of 3,300+ servers with 99.98% uptime, and migrated e-commerce platforms with no downtime (99.9% uptime, 6x faster pages).

Through techravi.in I personally take on a small number of early SaaS startups who want senior, hands-on help without the big-agency feel, with a trusted team behind me when it's time to build. Startup pace, enterprise-grade delivery, and you get me directly, not a junior handoff.

I've even kept a regulated fintech platform reliable and secure for a decade. So when I say "reliable and secure," it isn't a slogan, it's the last ten years of my work.
