Your Team Knows How to Build.
We Fix What’s Slowing Them Down.
DevOps transformation isn’t about adopting a new tool. It’s about removing the friction between writing code and getting it in front of users. We embed with your team, rebuild what’s not working, and hand everything over to engineers who own it fully. No retainers. No dependency on us to keep things running.
No retainers · NDA before any technical discussion · 30-minute call, no pitch deck
Speed alone isn’t the problem.
Coordination is.
Engineering teams that struggle with delivery don’t usually struggle because their developers are slow. The work gets done. The problem is everything around it — inconsistent environments, manual handoffs between dev and ops, no real visibility into what’s in production, and security reviews that happen too late to change anything.
These aren’t tool problems. They’re process and culture problems that need to be solved at the team level, not patched with another piece of software. That’s what DevOps consulting actually addresses when it’s done properly.
What changes after a DevOps engagement
Five areas, one connected engagement
What the 90 days actually looks like
We understand what’s actually happening
The first two weeks are assessment. We review your delivery workflow, interview the people doing the work, and identify where the real friction is. Not where management thinks it is — where engineers feel it. We sign an NDA before any of this starts. What we learn stays confidential.
We design a plan your team signs off on
The roadmap is written based on what the assessment found, not from a template. It covers what changes, in what order, and why. Your engineers review it before we start building. Nothing gets implemented without the team understanding it.
We build alongside your team, not around them
The pipeline, IaC, observability stack, and security integration are all built with your engineers involved at each stage. Decisions get explained as they’re made. Everything is documented as it goes in. By day 60, your team is running most of it themselves. We’re reviewing, not driving.
We hand over and stay alongside during the live period
The final two weeks are a live operations period. Your team runs everything. We’re available when questions come up, to fix anything that needs fixing, and to make sure the handover is complete. At day 90 there’s nothing in the system that only we know about. Optional ongoing support is available without a retainer, and most clients don’t need it.
A structured engagement with a
clear outcome at the end.
Not an open-ended consulting retainer. A fixed-scope, 90-day engagement that starts with a 2 to 3 week pilot, covers the full transformation, and ends with your team owning everything we built.
Pilot guarantee
If the pilot doesn’t produce something tangible and working, you don’t pay for the next phase.
The pilot produces real output — a working pipeline stage, an automated process, or a validated architecture decision — not a report and a recommendation deck. If it doesn’t, you don’t pay for the full 90-day engagement. We put this in the agreement before work starts, not just on the website.
What the client said
Stonetusker helped us modernize our delivery pipeline and move from weekly to daily releases without adding team overhead. Their approach is pragmatic and outcome-driven.

Questions we hear before every DevOps engagement
The pilot is scoped so it doesn’t require your team to stop product work. We need access to the right people for reviews and sign-offs, which we schedule around your sprints. During the full 90-day engagement, we ask for two to four hours per week from the key engineers who need to understand what we’re building. The implementation work is done by us, alongside your team, not by pulling them off their product.
Most failed DevOps initiatives produce recommendations and tooling that the team didn’t choose, doesn’t understand, and isn’t set up to maintain. The work is done for the team, not with them. Our engagement is built around knowledge transfer from the start. Every decision gets explained. Your engineers run the new systems before the engagement ends, with us alongside. At day 90, the only thing that changes is we’re no longer there — the infrastructure and the knowledge stay with your team.
We agree on the success metrics before the engagement starts. These are typically: deployment frequency, lead time from commit to production, change failure rate, and time to restore service. We set baseline numbers at the start and measure against them at day 60 and day 90. You can see whether things have improved before the engagement ends, not just in a summary report afterwards. If the numbers aren’t moving in the right direction by day 60, we talk about why and adjust.
