Maintenance and support
Updates, fixes and monitoring after launch, with support around the clock.
What this service covers
Software needs looking after: dependency and security updates, bug fixes, small improvements and someone watching when things go wrong at 3am. We provide that as a monthly plan with a clear response-time SLA.
We monitor your application and infrastructure 24/7, apply patches on a regular schedule and keep a backlog of improvements you can prioritise each month.
Plans include a set number of engineering hours for changes, and every month you get a short report on uptime, incidents, updates applied and hours used.
