Here’s a breakdown based on real-world projects:

• Project type

  Typical Annual Cost

• Basic AWS setup for MVP

  $15,000–$25,000

• CI/CD pipelines + container orchestration

  $20,000–$45,000

• Multi-region, secure, auto-scaling infra

  $50,000–$90,000+

• Ongoing support (monthly)

  $3,000–$8,000/month

** Costs vary based on cloud provider, number of environments, complexity of microservices, monitoring requirements, and compliance needs.

For most cloud-native apps, building a CI/CD pipeline (from code to deployment) costs between $8,000–$25,000, depending on:

• Number of environments (dev, staging, production)
• Choice of tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Bitbucket, etc.)
• Deployment strategy (rolling, canary, blue/green)
• Integration with testing, monitoring, or security toolstoring, or security tools

If you already have some infrastructure, retrofitting CI/CD is often faster — and cheaper.

Infrastructure setup cost depends on:

• Account structure (multi-account, org-level policies)
• Service types (ECS, EKS, Lambda, EC2, S3, RDS, etc.)
• Network complexity (VPC, subnets, NAT, route tables)
• Automation level (manual setup vs Terraform/IaC)
• Security requirements (IAM roles, encryption, audit logging)

A basic setup may cost $15,000–$30,000, while complex multi-region or regulated environments can exceed $60,000+.

Clients typically choose between:

• region

  hourly rate

  monthly retainer

• Serbia

  $40–€75/hr

  ✅ Senior engineers, fluent English, cloud-certified

• India

  $20–€50/hr

  ⚠️ Lower cost, often needs more oversight

• Philippines

  $25–€45/hr

  ⚠️ Better for support roles, less common in DevOps-heavy builds

• Poland

  $60–€100/hr

  ✅ High quality, higher agency overhead

• US/Canada

  $120–€200/hr

  ✅ Excellent talent, but premium pricing

Serbia gives you a senior DevOps team at 40–60% lower cost than US/UK vendors, with no drop in reliability or skill.

Our pricing includes:

• Architecture review and planning
• Secure cloud environment setup
• IaC configuration (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.)
• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins)
• Logging, alerting, and monitoring (Datadog, • Prometheus, ELK, etc.)
• Deployment strategy (blue/green, canary, etc.)
• Security hardening (IAM, VPC, secrets management)
• Cost optimization setup + forecasting tools
• Handoff docs and/or ongoing support

Because DevOps touches everything:

• Infrastructure security
• Team velocity
• Release stability
• Uptime + compliance
• Cost-efficiency of your cloud spend

Done right, DevOps reduces bugs, lowers cloud bills, and makes developers 10x faster.
Done wrong, it creates bottlenecks, outages, and high AWS invoices.

Both. We offer:

• Service type

  Typical Annual Cost

• Fixed-scope setup projects

  (e.g. AWS + CI/CD + monitoring stack)

• Ongoing monthly support packages for:

  Cloud cost tracking, Uptime alerts and incident handling, Stack upgrades and tuning, Support for your internal dev team
  
  

You only pay for the coverage you actually need.

Hiring a senior DevOps engineer in the US or UK can cost $120k–$200k+/year, not including benefits, onboarding, or tools.

With a Serbia-based offshore DevOps team, you get:

• On-demand infrastructure expertise
• Faster setup with best practices baked in
• 24/7-ready support plans
• Lower burn rate and more budget for core product development

If you want stability and scalability — without long-term overhead — this is your advantage.

Monthly DevOps retainers typically range from:

• $3,000–$6,000/month → for ongoing support, monitoring, cost optimization
• $6,000–$10,000+/month → for active infrastructure scaling, incident response, and multi-service support

You only need a full-time DevOps team if you're scaling rapidly or running highly complex infrastructure. Many startups use an offshore DevOps team part-time — and scale up only when needed.

Yes — Serbia is increasingly seen as a top-tier DevOps and cloud engineering destination.

What makes it attractive:

• $40–$75/hr for senior-level DevOps talent
• Engineers with AWS/GCP certifications and hands-on CI/CD/IaC experience
• English fluency and high time zone overlap with EU/US
• Strong security culture (ISO, SOC2, GDPR alignment)
• Less turnover and better communication compared to high-volume offshore hubs

Most Serbian DevOps engineers have production experience with:

• AWS (most common): ECS, EKS, EC2, Lambda, S3, IAM
• Azure: App Service, AKS, Bicep, ARM templates
• GCP: Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions, IAM, Secret Manager
• IaC Tools: Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines
• Monitoring: Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, Sentry, Grafana

They’re also familiar with:

• Serverless stacks
• Container orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Hybrid on-prem/cloud deployments‍

We:

• Audit your existing usage
• Set budgets, alerts, and cost anomaly detection
• Configure auto-scaling and resource limits
• Use cost dashboards and forecasting tools (AWS Budgets, CloudHealth, etc.)
• Avoid over-provisioning compute or storage
• Build infra that’s cost-aware by design — not just “set and forget”

You’ll know where every dollar goes — and when something looks off.

Yes — we’ve helped clients meet:

• HIPAA
• GDPR
• ISO/IEC 27001
• SOC 2 Type I and II‍

We build:

• Audit-ready access controls
• VPC and secrets management
• Logging + alerting pipelines
• Role-based permissions
• Infrastructure documentation for auditors

It’s not just secure — it’s provably secure.
