Engagement model
Production Stability Audit
Get a clear picture of production risk before your next release cycle. In 3 business days, we assess CI/CD, rollback readiness, runtime reliability, and observability gaps, then hand your team a prioritized fix plan.
What this solves
Frequent deploy anxiety and unclear rollback readiness.
Recurring incidents with no durable remediation path.
Alert noise that hides real production risk.
Reliability pressure from leadership without execution clarity.
Ideal for teams that
Ship customer-facing software with regular production releases.
Need practical fixes rather than theory-heavy architecture reports.
Want a short engagement before committing to a larger sprint.
Need external validation of reliability posture for stakeholders.
Included in the audit
CI/CD pipeline risk assessment with rollback path validation
Deployment controls review for release gates, approvals, and blast-radius limits
Runtime reliability review for retries, timeouts, and failure handling
Observability audit for logs, metrics, and actionable alerting
Prioritized 14-day stabilization plan with implementation-ready tasks
What you get
Executive summary for engineering and leadership
Severity-ranked findings with business-impact context
Prioritized action plan with owners and sequence
Optional walkthrough for alignment and execution kickoff
How it works
1. Intake
You share deployment flow, recent incidents, and current tooling.
2. Assessment
We audit pipeline controls, runtime reliability, and observability quality.
3. Action plan
You get prioritized fixes and a direct path into the Platform Reliability Sprint.
Out of scope
No full platform rebuild or migration during the audit
No long-term retained operations support in this package
No custom feature delivery unrelated to production stability
Next engagement path
Most teams continue into the Platform Reliability Sprint to implement the highest-impact fixes and reduce incident frequency.
Teams that need recurring execution typically continue with Fractional Platform Engineer support.
