Understand. Harden.
Automate. Run.
Ship.
Five building blocks for software that was created with AI. You start with the Operations Check – then you decide what you handle in-house and what we take over.
Understand
The Operations Check. For applications that are already running but whose technical and organizational state is unclear.
We only take over operations after an Operations Check.
What we specifically review or implement
- Repository structure, dependencies and build process
- Dependency audit for known vulnerabilities
- Secrets, tokens and credentials in the repository
- Authentication, roles and data access
- Hosting, network connectivity and deployment path
- Monitoring, alerting and health endpoints
- Logging, error analysis and log aggregation
- Backup configuration and restore test
- Database migrations and data integrity
- Tests, staging and rollback capability
What you get
A case file with a traffic-light rating (ok, unclear, risk), a prioritized action plan and documented takeover risks – understandable for non-developers too. At the end you get an honest offer to take over operations, or an honest no.
What is explicitly not included
No automatic fix of every finding, no legal data protection review, no blanket promise to take over operations.
How the price is set
Fixed price based on system size: small from €990, medium from €1,900, large from €3,500 (net).
Next step: request an Operations Check ↗Harden
Make it production-ready. For systems where the Operations Check found gaps between "somehow works" and well-organized operations.
We harden what's there – a complete rebuild is rarely necessary.
What we specifically review or implement
- Close open access, secure sign-in and roles
- Remove secrets from the repository and manage them securely
- Establish a reproducible build
- Set up a staging environment for changes
- Establish deployments with a controllable rollback
- Add health and readiness endpoints
- Introduce monitoring and alerting
- Enable central logs and error diagnosis
- Test the backup and restore process
- Supabase, Firebase & co.: secure access rules, exports and ownership
- Prioritize framework and dependency updates
- Write a runbook plus an architecture and operations sketch
What you get
Implemented, documented measures, a technical operations acceptance, a runbook and a list of remaining risks.
What is explicitly not included
No complete rewrite, no unlimited refactoring, no promise of absolute security.
How the price is set
Fixed price after the Operations Check, or time and materials with a cap – from €1,500 (net).
Next step: request an Operations Check ↗Automate
Guardrails for AI development. For teams who want to keep building with Cursor, Lovable or Claude Code – without every change going live unchecked.
Your team stays as fast as before – with guardrails.
Today a change often lands directly in the live system. Whether it breaks something else only becomes clear when someone complains. We put an automatic test pipeline in between – CI/CD in technical terms. That means every change is tested automatically before it goes live. What CI/CD actually is →
What we specifically review or implement
- Automated tests for the most important workflows
- Scanning the code for passwords and keys
- Checking the components you use for known vulnerabilities
- A test environment where you try out every change first
- Approval by a human before go-live
- Back to the previous version at the push of a button
- Notification when a run fails
- Monitoring the runs and fixing them when something gets stuck
What you get
A test pipeline set up in your repository – for example on GitHub or GitLab – documented and clearly explained. Bugs show up before your users find them.
What is explicitly not included
No guarantee that tests catch every bug. We don't write your features or develop the application further.
How the price is set
Pipeline setup from €790, then from €79 per month for monitoring the runs and fixing them (net).
Next step: request an Operations Check ↗Run
Managed operations. For applications that can technically be taken over and whose operation shouldn't depend on individual employees.
We only take over operations after an Operations Check.
What we specifically review or implement
- Hosting in data centers in Germany or in your environment
- Monitor availability and health checks
- Prioritize alerts and handle them within the agreed window
- Plan regular security and dependency updates
- Monitor backups and run restore tests
- Watch capacity, resources and certificate expiry
- Manage the deployment and change process
- Analyze logs and recurring errors
- Document and follow up on incidents
- Maintain the runbook and operations documentation
- Provide a monthly operations report
What you get
An operations contract with a defined scope of service, contacts, escalation paths, operations documentation and a monthly operations report.
What is explicitly not included
No warranty for third-party application logic, no open-ended further development, no unlimited 24/7 on-call.
How the price is set
Flat fee per system per month: Basic from €149, Business from €349, Critical from €790 (net). Not by the hour – we earn from stability, not from chaos.
Next step: request an Operations Check ↗Ship
Release management. For us, "running" means: everyone who is supposed to use it can get in and get to work. That's why releases are part of it.
Shipping doesn't mean developing.
What we specifically review or implement
- Web: versioning and release notes
- Web: acceptance on staging before the release
- Web: deployment in the agreed window with a smoke test
- Web: rollback readiness
- Apps: App Store Connect and Google Play Console
- Apps: signing keys held in trust – ownership stays with you
- Apps: TestFlight and internal testing
- Apps: guidance through store review and staged rollout
What you get
Predictable releases with a documented process – on the web and in the app stores.
What is explicitly not included
What gets shipped comes from you or from a separately agreed development contract.
How the price is set
Web releases are included in the operations fee. App stores as an add-on from €99 per store per month (net).
Next step: request an Operations Check ↗Three service tiers. No made-up SLAs.
Basic, Business and Critical differ in service hours, response times and on-call coverage. We set these values bindingly in the offer – to fit your system and how critical it is.
Availability, recovery objectives and response times only apply if they are explicitly agreed and organizationally backed. Prices are on the pricing page.
The exit.
Code, data and the infrastructure description belong to you. You can take over or switch at any time – we hand over cleanly.
Operations are not development.
Operations don't mean open-ended further development. What gets shipped comes from you or from a separately agreed development contract.
Building it isn't running it.
We review first, before we take on responsibility.
