Fractional DevOps
Scaling infrastructure without hiring a DevOps team
The situation
As the product grew, the CTO spent more and more time on infrastructure instead of product development.
Hiring a full-time DevOps engineer felt too early — and too expensive.
What went wrong
- CTO acting as part-time DevOps
- No clear on-call or incident ownership
- Infrastructure scaling slower than product growth
- Growing operational risk and burnout
Costs were growing faster than the business.
How Soft Launch Technologies helped
We introduced fractional DevOps support:
- Took ownership of infrastructure operations
- Improved monitoring and incident response
- Supported scaling without increasing costs
- Acted as an external DevOps team
The result
- Infrastructure scaled 3×
- No increase in infrastructure costs
- SLA 99.95% achieved
- CTO returned focus to product and strategy
COO feedback
We stopped firefighting infrastructure issues and got back to building the product.
