Deployments that break, servers set up by hand, a cloud bill nobody can explain? StackSolution puts your infrastructure on solid ground: CI/CD pipelines that ship on every merge, Docker and Kubernetes for consistent environments, and Terraform so your whole setup lives in version control. We keep the team small and senior — one engineer owns your platform from pipeline to production — and we add monitoring, zero-downtime deploys, and cost optimization so you can release with confidence instead of crossed fingers.
In 2026, a CI/CD pipeline and cloud setup for a small app typically runs $3,000–$10,000, a full Kubernetes and Terraform platform $15,000–$50,000, and ongoing DevOps support $2,000–$8,000/month. Much of the value is in savings: right-sizing and autoscaling routinely cut a cloud bill 20–50%. We quote fixed-scope for the initial setup so the number stays predictable.
A basic CI/CD pipeline with automated deploys usually takes 1–2 weeks; a containerized setup on AWS or GCP with Terraform 2–4 weeks; a full Kubernetes platform with monitoring and autoscaling 4–8 weeks. We deliver in milestones, so you get working automated deploys early and layer on observability and scaling from there.
For most early startups Kubernetes is overkill — a managed platform (Vercel, Cloud Run, ECS Fargate) ships faster and costs less to run. We reach for Kubernetes once you have multiple services, need fine-grained autoscaling, or want portability across clouds. We give an honest recommendation per project rather than defaulting to the heaviest tool, so you don't pay for complexity you won't use.
Yes — cost optimization is often the fastest ROI in DevOps. We audit usage, then right-size instances, add autoscaling, use spot or reserved capacity, clean up idle resources, and set budget alerts. Typical savings run 20–50% with no drop in reliability. You also get the bill broken down by service, so future spend is something you can actually reason about.
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) defines your servers, networks, and databases in version-controlled files instead of clicking around a console. That means every environment is reproducible, changes are peer-reviewed like any code, and you can rebuild your whole stack after an outage in minutes. It ends configuration drift and the 'it works on the old server' problem — we set it up so your infra is reviewable and disaster-recoverable from day one.
Send us the rough idea, even if it's messy. We'll come back with how we'd build it and roughly how long it'd take, usually within a day.
