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/CDCI/CD stands for automated software delivery – secure, reproducible, and fast. Learn more → “just about works”
- MonitoringMonitoring spots problems before they escalate – active oversight, not just reacting. Learn more → exists – but is anyone watching it?
And the truly critical questions? (Who takes over during vacation? Who documents everything?) – often left unanswered.
Recognize yourselves? The agency operations check shows you in one minute what running things yourselves costs in effort, margin, and liability.
Our goal: clarity & relief
We take over what keeps you from focusing on what you do best: building products, developing features, planning releasesA release is the moment when a new feature becomes visible to users. Learn more →.
What we do:
- Automate & document systems
- Secure operations – with backupBackups are the life insurance of digital systems. Learn more →, 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-FlowsCI/CD stands for automated software delivery – secure, reproducible, and fast. Learn more → | 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 GitOpsGitOps treats infrastructure like code – versioned, auditable, automatable. Learn more → & 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-inVendor lock-in is a technical or organizational dependency on one provider that makes switching difficult. Learn more →
- 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.
