We scope work as measured migration and platform build-out—not open-ended “observability transformation.” Core engagements follow the same three tracks as the homepage: LGTM in your AWS, OpenTelemetry, and the operational glue your team will own after we go.

Core engagements

The stack we most often build and hand over: Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and Mimir on your AWS, with OpenTelemetry and GitOps from day one.

LGTM migration on AWS

Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and Mimir in your accounts with Terraform modules, environment separation, and GitOps promotion. Dashboards, recording rules, and alert routes with parity checks against the incumbent—Datadog, Splunk, New Relic, or Dynatrace—so cutover is measured, not guessed.

OpenTelemetry instrumentation

Standardize traces, metrics, and logs on OpenTelemetry collectors and processors: sampling, tail sampling, and routing you change without a vendor amendment. Pipelines stay portable after the engagement.

Platform engineering

CI/CD, secrets, backups, capacity plans, and incident playbooks in the same repositories as the stack. Runbooks written for pager duty so the platform stays operable when we leave.

Advisory and engineering

Shorter or adjacent scopes when you are not yet ready for a full stack migration—or you need a focused fix alongside an in-house team.

Observability cost and cardinality review

Map where the budget and samples go, flag cardinality and routing issues, and leave a short, prioritized set of 3–5 changes you can execute with or without us. Same posture as a migration: you keep the plan.

Alerting, SLOs, and on-call

SLO-based routing that pages on customer-impacting failure, not noise. Alert hygiene, review rituals, and on-call practices that reduce fatigue without hiding real incidents.

AWS infrastructure and cost

Reviews across ECS, EKS, Lambda, data stores, and network: right-sizing, reservation strategy, and reliability tradeoffs that lower AWS spend without a reckless reliability cut. Often paired with moving telemetry off commercial meters in the same account.

Need a blend of the above? Send a short brief and we will propose a single scope.

Move observability onto AWS you control, with LGTM and OpenTelemetry, and cut spend by roughly 60% without trading away signal.
