What I fix

All services

  • Backups you can restore

    A test restore every month, so you know your backups work before you need them.

    See the backup plan

  • Alerts before the phone calls

    Monitoring that reaches me when a service fails, a disk fills up, or a job stops running.

    See how alerts reach me

  • Knowledge that stays with you

    Infrastructure in code, clear documentation, and full access for your team.
