Needs

Incident management & on-call. We are formalizing reliability practice from scratch and need alerting, on-call and postmortem workflows that fit a small team.

Cloud cost optimization. Our cloud footprint of containers, serverless and managed databases is growing and we want cost visibility before it gets away from us.

Faster CI/CD. We want faster, safer deployments for payment services without a dedicated release team.
