DevOps & SRE Infrastructure Strategy Review
An infrastructure strategy review is a bounded, outside read on the systems and decisions your team lives with every day: how your architecture is actually shaped, where your Terraform/OpenTofu and CI/CD workflows are fighting you, how reliability and ownership are distributed, and which of those things will hurt the most as you scale. It is deliberately fixed-scope — a clear start, a clear end, and a written deliverable — rather than an open-ended engagement that quietly turns into staff augmentation.
The goal is not to hand you a generic best-practices checklist. It is to look hard at your real environment, name the risks and tradeoffs in plain language, and leave you with a prioritized set of recommendations your team can actually act on. Most teams use this as the first engagement precisely because it is low-commitment, high-signal, and produces something durable: a shared, honest picture of where you stand and what to do next.
What’s included
- Intake session to align on scope, context, and the decisions you are weighing
- Review of architecture, Terraform/OpenTofu structure, and CI/CD workflows
- Live working session to pressure-test assumptions with your team
- Written findings memo: risks, tradeoffs, and what is actually working
- Prioritized recommendations you can sequence and own internally
- Optional leadership readout to align stakeholders on the path forward
