Fractional SRE & Platform Engineering

Platform engineering for companies that can't wait six months to hire.

srecraft.io builds and runs your platform engineering function, from internal developer platforms to AI infrastructure, on a retainer that costs less than one senior SRE hire.

  • Your AWS bill grows faster than your revenue every month without dedicated FinOps oversight.

  • A senior SRE takes six months to hire and costs $200,000 before their first PR merges.

  • When infrastructure becomes a bottleneck, the first thing that slips is product velocity. The second is team morale.

What we build

  • Platform Engineering

    We design and build your internal developer platform: CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, Terraform modules, ArgoCD deployments, and the tooling that lets your engineers ship without waiting on infrastructure.

  • AI Infrastructure & MLOps

    We provision and operate the infrastructure that AI models run on: GPU clusters, model serving pipelines, experiment tracking, feature stores, and the monitoring that tells you when inference is degrading.

  • FinOps

    We audit your cloud bill, identify the waste, and build the processes that keep costs predictable. Reserved instance planning, right-sizing, and a monthly review so your spend stops climbing quarter over quarter.

How an engagement works

Reliability Audit

$15,000 – $20,000  ·  3–4 weeks

We assess your entire cloud infrastructure, score it against SRE maturity benchmarks, and deliver a prioritised roadmap with a 90-day platform engineering plan. Most CTOs use this as the decision point for a retainer.

Monthly Retainer

$10,000 – $20,000 / month

We become your platform engineering team. Monthly architecture reviews, continuous improvements to your CI/CD and infrastructure, incident response during business hours, and a quarterly roadmap session.

Building in public

Everything we learn operating platform infrastructure, we ship as open source. When a pattern solves the same problem across multiple clients, it becomes a tool anyone can use.
