Introduction

I have an offer for you:

1. Your monthly cloud hosting bill goes down.
2. You get an experienced DevOps engineer to manage your infrastructure, optimize things, and be on call, all included in that smaller bill.

That is it. Interested?

You are probably wondering how that could work. The cloud is already the cheapest, simplest and most reliable hosting option, right? That has been the marketing for the last 20 years. But hardware has changed a lot in that time. The cloud is now expensive, so complicated that most specialists can only master a part of a single vendors offering, and most company’s setups are somewhere between “behind” and scary.

I have been managing production workloads since 2009. I build and rack my own servers. By leveraging hardware, open source, experience, and empathy I can deliver something the big cloud providers can’t: better cost performance and support.

Mostly I am met with skepticism. But come, try the red bill. Who knows.
