For infrastructure projects with a defined scope and timeline — a CI/CD setup, a Kubernetes migration, security hardening, or rolling out observability — with no long-term contract required. Scope, deliverables, and timeline are clear from day one; once the project's delivered, you can move to a Managed DevOps retainer if you need ongoing maintenance.
A lot of teams have one specific need — a migration, a CI/CD rollout, security hardening — but neither the budget for a full-time hire nor the time to manage a complex technical project.
Initiatives like an infrastructure migration, CI/CD rollout, or security hardening drag on for months without a team focused solely on that project.
Salary and onboarding for a full-time engineer doesn't make sense for a project that takes a few weeks.
On a project with a fixed timeline, a single freelancer being unavailable can derail the whole schedule.
The Tempo team focuses on the specific project you define — a migration, a CI/CD rollout, security hardening — with regular progress reporting, no long-term contract, and no in-house hire required.
The exact scope is defined around your need; these are the most common project areas.
Automated, rollback-ready deploy pipelines matched to your stack.
Architecture, scalability and cost optimization on GCP and beyond.
Live dashboards, smart alerting and distributed tracing.
24/7 coverage with documented runbooks and under-15-minute response.
Access management, secure networking and infrastructure security policy.
Full transparency on work done, costs and what's next.
After an initial assessment, we define and document the project's scope, deliverables, and timeline.
The Tempo team works within that defined scope — with regular progress reporting and no scope creep.
Full documentation, knowledge transfer to your team, and — if needed — a clear path to a Managed DevOps retainer.
Clear scope & deliverables You know exactly what you're getting, and by when, from day one.
No forced long-term commitment Once the project's delivered, it's your call whether to continue.
A team, not a lone freelancer Full backup coverage throughout the project — you're never dependent on one person.
A clear path to Managed DevOps If you need ongoing maintenance after the project, the transition is straightforward.
It's an infrastructure project with a defined scope, deliverables, and timeline — like a migration, a CI/CD setup, or security hardening — with no long-term contract or in-house hire required.
DevOps as a Service is a bounded project with a defined scope and timeline. Managed DevOps is an ongoing, long-term engagement with a clear SLA for permanently maintaining your infrastructure. You can move to Managed DevOps once the project's delivered.
Usually within a week of scoping the project, the Tempo team gets to work.
We work across AWS and GCP, and we're just as comfortable with on-prem infrastructure and common tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab CI and Prometheus.
Yes — this model fits any team size that needs one specific, bounded project done, whether that's a small startup or a larger organization.
A free, no-obligation 30-minute call — an honest look at your current need and whether a bounded project or ongoing maintenance (Managed DevOps) is the better fit.
