AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD for SaaS teams that outgrew their setup. Production-grade DevOps by an ex-PrivatBank engineer.
What We Fix
Most SaaS teams overpay AWS by 30-50% without knowing it. Reserved instances bought for the wrong workload, staging environments running 24/7, S3 lifecycle policies never configured. I audit your bill, find the waste, and fix it.
Typical result: 20-40% reduction in 30 days without touching application code. Savings plan migration, right-sizing, storage lifecycle rules, and spot instance adoption where applicable.
Best for: teams spending $3k+/month on AWS who've never done a formal cost review.
Setup, migration, and production hardening. Resource limits, health checks, rolling deployments, HPA. The cluster that doesn't need manual intervention at 3 AM.
If your deploy takes 45 minutes, that's not a pipeline - it's a liability. I build automated pipelines that run tests, build containers, push to registry, and deploy to production in under 10 minutes. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD.
Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + Alertmanager, deployed and configured for your workload. From zero visibility to Telegram alert in one engagement. You know what's breaking before your users do.
Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD - your infrastructure becomes version-controlled and reproducible. No more "it works on staging but not prod." Every environment is identical because it's defined in code.
Production Work
3 years 9 months building and maintaining core infrastructure for one of Ukraine's largest banks. 20M+ customer operations running on systems I was responsible for. Deployed full observability stack (Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + Alertmanager) for containerized environments, built CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment time, maintained Kubernetes clusters under financial-grade reliability requirements.
Built complete observability infrastructure for a containerized production environment from scratch. Prometheus metrics collection, Grafana dashboards for engineering and business KPIs, Loki log aggregation, Alertmanager routing to Telegram. Team went from "we find out from users" to sub-5-minute incident detection.
Replaced a manual deployment process with fully automated GitLab CI/CD. Parallel test execution, Docker image build and push, automatic deployment to staging on merge request, one-click production promotion with rollback. Deploy time cut from 45+ minutes to under 8 minutes.
Why It Works
Most DevOps engineers learn Kubernetes by running tutorials on a local cluster. I learned it by keeping payment infrastructure online for 20 million bank customers. The gap between "it works in dev" and "it survives production" is something you only fully understand after a real incident at scale.
When I audit an AWS bill, I'm not running a cost tool and reading the output. I'm looking for the same patterns I spent years fixing in banking infrastructure: over-provisioned instances nobody questioned, staging costs that match production, monitoring gaps that hide slow leaks. I know where to look because I've been on the other side.
30-minute call. You describe the problem - slow deploys, AWS bill creep, no visibility, staging that lies. I map the current state and tell you exactly what's broken and why. No pitch deck, no generic recommendations.
Defined scope, defined timeline, defined price. I build the infrastructure, write the Terraform, configure the pipeline, set up the dashboards. You get production-ready work your team can operate - not a system only I understand.
Full documentation, knowledge transfer, and 30 days of monitoring support included. You own the code, the infrastructure, and the runbooks. Most clients stay on retainer for ongoing DevOps work after the initial engagement.
Dmytro Hamera
Founder & DevOps/AWS Engineer
3 years 9 months at PrivatBank — one of Ukraine's largest banks, 20M+ customers. Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability at scale. Every infrastructure decision had real consequences. That's not a background I use for credibility on a website. It's the reason I know exactly where SaaS infrastructure breaks at scale, because I've fixed the same problems in a higher-stakes environment.
I started OneX Systems to bring that same production discipline to SaaS teams that are growing faster than their infrastructure can handle.
LinkedIn ProfileDepends on scope. An AWS cost audit with fixes typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. A CI/CD pipeline overhaul is 1 to 3 weeks. A full Kubernetes setup with observability stack is 3 to 5 weeks. You get a specific timeline after the infrastructure audit call — I don't estimate before I understand the current state.
Fixed-scope engagements. An AWS cost optimization audit starts at $800. A CI/CD pipeline build is $1,500 to $3,000 depending on complexity. A full Kubernetes + observability setup is $3,000 to $6,000. Ongoing retainer starts at $1,500/month. Pricing is set before work begins - no surprise invoices halfway through.
For audits, read-only access is sufficient. For build engagements, I work within your existing access control policies - your team grants scoped permissions, nothing broader than needed. I'm comfortable with NDA before the first call. All work is done in your infrastructure, not mine. You own everything at the end.
Full documentation, runbooks, and a knowledge transfer session are included in every engagement. 30 days of post-delivery monitoring support at no extra cost. Your team should be able to operate everything I build without me. Most clients continue on a retainer for ongoing DevOps work - but that's your call, not mine.
Describe the infrastructure problem - AWS costs, slow deploys, no visibility, staging that lies. I will review your setup and come back with a concrete assessment - not a generic slide deck.
