What stays with your team – and what we take over
We’re not a competitor to developers – we’re a team member for everything related to operations.
The reality: “DevOps on the side”
Many developers manage infrastructure because they have to – not because they want to:
- A Helm chart here, a VPN tunnel there
- CI/CD “just about works”
- Monitoring exists – but is anyone watching it?
And the truly critical questions? (Who takes over during vacation? Who documents everything?) – often left unanswered.
Our goal: clarity & relief
We take over what keeps you from focusing on what you do best: building products, developing features, planning releases.
What we do:
- Automate & document systems
- Secure operations – with backup, monitoring & alerts
- Keep access, config & tooling transparent
Our favorite projects are the ones where developers say: “Finally, someone takes care of it.”
Who does what? A comparison
Modern teams have different strengths – here's how tasks typically split.
| Area | Your Dev Team | RiKuWe |
|---|---|---|
| CI/CD flows | Design & development | Infrastructure, secrets, runners, setup |
| Kubernetes / hosting | varies per setup | Setup, updates, backups, security |
| Monitoring / logging | own dashboards possible | Prometheus, alerts, metrics, support |
| VPN, DNS, firewall | rarely in developer focus | fully managed by RiKuWe |
| Documentation & onboarding | often informal / tribal knowledge | Git-based, versioned, understandable |
| Night shifts / vacation ops | hard to cover internally | RiKuWe – with SLA if needed |
| Feedback & collaboration | Slack, issues, code review | Collaborative – not “ticket-only” |
Collaboration: open, transparent, on equal footing
We don’t work “as-a-Service” – we work as part of your team. Depending on the setup:
- via GitOps & Pull Requests
- via tickets or sync calls
- via chat
Everything we do is visible to you. And transferable anytime – if you ever want to take back ownership.
Conclusion
You build the application. We take care of the infrastructure.
- no lock-in
- no hidden magic
- no black box
Instead: We run infrastructure with the same clarity and quality you expect from your code.
RiKuWe: Managed Infrastructure. Understandable. Portable. Trustworthy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does that mean our dev team no longer needs infrastructure knowledge?
Not necessarily – but it helps. Our goal is to take the load off, not lock you out. Everything is documented, traceable, and can be taken over anytime.
Can we still use our own dashboards and tools?
Yes. We bring a working base setup – but are happy to extend or integrate your existing tools where it makes sense.
How flexible is the collaboration?
Very. Whether GitOps, tickets, or chat – we adapt to your workflow. What matters to us is: structure, transparency, and open communication.
What if we want to take back operations later?
No problem. Our setups are portable and documented. We support the transition – including access, configuration, and a handover guide.
