About BugaOps

We're engineers who got tired of watching teams struggle with the same infrastructure problems over and over.

BugaOps started because we kept seeing the same movie on repeat. Smart teams building great products, but getting absolutely crushed by infrastructure problems.

Deployments that took all weekend and still failed. AWS bills that doubled every quarter for no clear reason. Security practices that were basically "hope nothing bad happens." On-call rotations that felt like hazing.

We'd been there ourselves—the 3am pages, the deployment Fridays that ruined weekends, explaining to the CEO why we needed another $50K/month for servers. It sucked.

Modern DevOps tools can fix most of this. Infrastructure as code, proper CI/CD, observability, security automation—it all works. But you need time and expertise to set it up right.

Most teams don't have either. They're too busy shipping features and keeping the lights on. That's where we come in. We parachute in, fix the infrastructure problems, train your team, and leave you in a better place.

How We Actually Work

We're not here to bill hours forever

Typical project? 8-16 weeks. We build it, document it, train your team, and get out. No multi-year consulting gigs, no artificial dependency. You should be able to run this stuff without us.

Boring usually beats shiny

Yeah, Kubernetes is cool. But maybe you don't need it yet. Sometimes the right answer is a managed database and a few EC2 instances. We'll tell you what actually makes sense for where you are, not what looks good on our portfolio.

We actually teach you this stuff

Every project includes knowledge transfer. Docs, runbooks, recorded training sessions, office hours—whatever it takes for your team to own this afterward. We want you to learn, not depend on us.

No secret sauce

DevOps shouldn't be mysterious. We share what we know through blog posts and case studies. If you want to learn this yourself, great—we'll help. If you'd rather pay us to do it, also great.

The Day-to-Day

Remote, but not async-only. We're not going to make you wait 24 hours for a Slack response. Expect daily standups, quick calls when needed, and reasonable overlap with your timezone (we're based in Romania, so EU/UK works great).

We work in your tools. Your Slack, your GitHub, your AWS account. We're not dragging you into some separate consulting bubble. You'll see everything we're doing, when we're doing it.

We actually build things. No 40-page PowerPoints full of recommendations you'll never implement. We write code, provision infrastructure, set up pipelines. The only deck you'll see is a final handoff presentation.

We'll tell you if something's a bad idea. Want to rewrite everything in Rust? Migrate to Kubernetes before you have product-market fit? We'll push back. Nicely, but firmly.

Who We Are

We're a small team of senior engineers who've worked at startups and enterprises. We've built platforms that scaled to millions of users, fixed infrastructure disasters, and passed audits we thought were impossible.

Most importantly, we've been on-call when things went sideways at 2am. We know what it's like to debug production issues while your CEO is breathing down your neck. We've been there.

For complex projects, we bring in specialists from our network—security auditors, compliance experts, platform engineers who've done this at much bigger scale than us. You get the expertise you need, when you need it.

Security & Your Data

We take security seriously because we have to. We work with your AWS accounts, your code, your secrets. If we screw that up, we're done as a business.

Access & Authentication

  • • MFA on everything (no exceptions)
  • • Least-privilege access only
  • • Your 1Password/Secrets Manager, not ours
  • • All access is logged and auditable

Data Handling

  • • GDPR compliant (we're EU-based)
  • • Your data stays in your cloud account
  • • No third-party data sharing, ever
  • • Delete everything after project + 90 days
