Managed AWS and DevOps services
Your AWS, run by agents and senior engineers. One fixed price.
DevLift operates your AWS, Kubernetes and CI/CD around the clock. Agents handle the repetitive work, senior engineers approve every change and hold the pager, for one fixed monthly fee and a 99.9% uptime SLA.

What we run
Everything between your code and your customers.
Managed AWS services, DevOps and Kubernetes operations, and the compliance that comes with them, delivered as one service with one team accountable for it.
Cloud architecture
Accounts, networks, IAM and environments designed to grow from MVP to Series B, written in Terraform from day one so nothing lives only in a console.
Sage AICI/CD with security gates
Pipelines with policy checks, signed images and recorded approvals, so every release is reviewed without a person waiting in the queue.
Sage AI24/7 monitoring and on-call
Iris tunes the alerts so a page means customer impact. Engineers hold the pager under an uptime SLA, and every incident ends with a fix in code.
Iris AIKubernetes operations
EKS clusters upgraded, patched and scaled. Node groups sized to real utilization, workloads scheduled, and the cluster state kept in code.
Sage AICost operations
Rightsizing, schedules and commitments applied continuously, with a monthly reconciliation against your invoices. The cost audit is built in.
Finly AICompliance and disaster recovery
SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS controls enforced on every deploy with evidence exported, and recovery that is tested on a schedule, not documented once.
ClearRiskHow we work
Agents handle the routine. Engineers own the outcome.
Nothing changes in production without a named engineer approving it. Here is who does what when the usual things happen.
| When this happens | The agent | The engineer |
|---|---|---|
| A change is requested | Sage AI Turns the request into a Terraform pull request with the plan and policy checks attached. | Reviews and approves. Merges within the change window. |
| Cost drifts | Finly AI Proposes rightsizing, schedules or commitments from 30 days of utilization, with the savings and the risk. | Approves. The change lands one resource group at a time. |
| An alert fires | Iris AI Correlates the signal, suppresses the noise and routes the page with context. | Responds within the SLA, fixes it in code, writes the review. |
| A CVE is published | ClearRisk Checks it against what actually runs in production and opens a patch pull request if it matters. | Merges the patch. The rest is filed, not paged. |
| Someone edits the console | Sage AI Detects the drift, reverts it and posts the diff. | Confirms, or turns it into a real change. |
| An auditor asks | Sage AI Exports the evidence: approvals, access reviews, backup tests, key rotation. | Answers the auditor with the export. |
Why not hire, or use an agency
What a fixed-price managed team changes.
| Hire in-house | A typical agency | DevLift managed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | One engineer, business hours. Nobody when they are on holiday. | A ticket queue with response targets. | Agents around the clock. Engineers on call under an SLA. |
| Who does the work | The engineer, for as long as they stay. | Whoever is assigned this month. | Four agents carry the routine load. Senior engineers approve every change. |
| Price | $200K+ a year with benefits, tooling and recruiting. | Hourly or retainer, plus change orders. | One fixed monthly fee. Month to month. |
| Time to value | Three to six months to hire and ramp. | Weeks, then scope negotiations. | Live in four weeks. SOC 2 readiness in six. |
| Compliance | Depends on the hire. | Usually a separate engagement. | Enforced on every deploy, evidence exported continuously. |
| When you leave | Knowledge leaves with them. | Depends on the contract. | Everything is in your account and your Terraform. |
Onboarding
Live in four weeks.
A read-only review first, then hardening, then handover. Your team keeps shipping throughout.
- Week 1
Review and scorecard
Read-only access. We review architecture, security posture, cost and reliability and hand you a scorecard with what we would fix first.
- Weeks 2 to 3
Harden and wire in
Infrastructure reconciled into Terraform, policy gates in the pipeline, monitoring tuned, runbooks written, and our engineers join your rotation.
- Week 4
Handover to 24/7
Agents live under policy, engineers take the pager, the SLA starts. Your team goes back to product.
- Ongoing
Run and improve
Monthly review, cost reconciliation against invoices, audit evidence always current, and a roadmap for what changes next.
Pricing
One fixed monthly fee, scoped to your footprint.
No hourly billing and no change orders for routine work. The fee is quoted after the free review and runs month to month. Every tier includes all four agents and senior engineer approval on every change.

From customers
What engineering leaders say.
“Since bringing DevLift's AI agents into our production environments, our infrastructure operates seamlessly. We established strict, automated security guardrails without slowing down our deployments, and Finly optimized our cloud waste by thousands of dollars automatically.”
“DevLift completely removed the ops toil from our sprint cycles. Instead of manually wrestling with IaC and chasing compliance drift, we rely on their platform to keep our environments stable and audit-ready. It's like having a senior SRE on staff 24/7.”

Built by operators, not theorists.
We ran production for fintech and crypto companies for four years before we encoded the recurring work into agents. The engineers who did it are the ones on your rotation.
The people behind the agents
DevLift is built by a small DevSecOps team in Dubai. Everyone touches production, everyone talks to clients, and the engineers who operate your accounts are the same ones who answer the page.
- Headquartered in Dubai. Runs production for fintech, crypto and AI companies across the UAE, the US and the UK.
- OSWE-certified engineers, DEF CON and Black Hat speakers and former CTF leads, with five discovered CVEs between them.
- Four years operating infrastructure by hand before the recurring work was encoded into the agents.
- A shared pager. Someone is reachable when it breaks, under an SLA, and the same engineers approve every agent change.

Okta Questions
Before you book.
Whose AWS account is it?
Yours. We operate inside your accounts through a cross-account role you control, and everything we build lives in your repositories as Terraform. Revoke the role and you keep all of it.
What's the SLA?
A 99.9% uptime commitment on the environments we run, with incident response around the clock. Response and resolution targets by severity are written into the agreement before we start.
How is it priced?
One fixed monthly fee, scoped to your footprint after the free review: accounts, environments, clusters and the compliance you need. No hourly billing, no change orders for routine work, and it runs month to month.
Can you work alongside our existing engineer or agency?
Yes. Most teams keep a platform lead who owns priorities while we own the running of it. Handover is gradual: we join the rotation first and take the pager once the monitoring and runbooks are ours.
Do you do cloud migration consulting?
Yes, as a scoped project: into AWS, between accounts or regions, or from a legacy setup onto Kubernetes. The migration is planned in the review and lands in Terraform, so the managed plan picks it up on day one.
Do you handle SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS?
The controls are enforced on every deploy and the evidence is exported continuously, which is how SOC 2 readiness takes about six weeks. We work with your auditor and your compliance platform rather than replacing them.
What happens if we want to leave?
The plan runs month to month. Your infrastructure is in your account and your Terraform is in your repositories, so leaving is a matter of removing our role and taking the pager back.
What happens on the free demo?
Thirty minutes with an engineer. We walk through how the agents and the rotation work, agree what a read-only review of your AWS account would cover, and give you a first read on cost and risk if you share access.
