Kempbell ConsultingSlash AWS costs and scale with stable infrastructure
Fractional DevOps and infrastructure consulting for SaaS companies ($500K–$10M ARR) that need reliable systems and predictable costs.
Need someone who can own both infra and product delivery? I build full-stack systems too — not just pipelines.
Common Infrastructure Challenges
SaaS companies face predictable infrastructure problems as they scale. Here's how I help solve them.
Overpaying for AWS?
Identify unused resources, right-size instances, and implement cost optimization strategies that typically save 30-50% on monthly cloud bills.
Deployments constantly breaking?
Implement reliable CI/CD pipelines with proper testing, staging environments, and rollback mechanisms to ensure smooth, predictable deployments.
SOC2/Facebook audit headaches?
Establish infrastructure-as-code practices and security controls that satisfy compliance requirements without slowing down development.
Dev team overwhelmed by infra?
Create self-service developer tools and documentation that empower your team to focus on product features instead of infrastructure management.
