The fractional systems pod: continuous sprints on your production platform.
A principal runs bi-weekly systems sprints on your platform for €10,000/month and handles production incidents under an SLA. The pod is capped at three clients.
the problem
(01) Junior retainer roulette
Most retainers pay for updates applied blindly, with no understanding of infrastructure or performance impact.
(02) Silent performance regression
Each marketing deploy and CMS change erodes Core Web Vitals until rankings and conversions slip.
(03) Unwatched cloud spend
Nobody owns the hosting invoice, so cache decay and traffic growth inflate it month after month.
approach
(01) Continuous RUM monitoring
Real-user Core Web Vitals tracking flags regressions per deploy, with remediation before rankings suffer.
(02) Database and cache tuning
Query profiling, index reviews, and cache-hit-ratio tuning keep responses sub-second as data grows.
(03) Invoice governance
Monthly hosting reviews catch cache decay, egress creep, and mispriced serverless usage early.
(04) Emergency response
High-availability production support with guaranteed SLA response from the engineers who built the stack.
scope
(01) Monthly performance and cost report with remediation log
(02) Continuous dependency and security patch stewardship
(03) Cache policy and database index tuning per cycle
(04) Guaranteed SLA response for production emergencies
Fixed scope, fixed timeline. You keep the report and the roadmap whether or not we build the fix.
why 2sh
Direct systems engineering versus traditional front-end agencies.
| dimension | 2sh | traditional agencies |
|---|---|---|
| Seniority | Two senior operators reviewing every change — in-house, never outsourced | Rotating junior developers applying updates |
| Performance ownership | RUM monitored per deploy with guaranteed remediation | Speed checked only when someone complains |
| Cost ownership | Monthly invoice governance with capped spend targets | Invoices paid without technical review |
| Emergency cover | SLA-backed production response from stack owners | Best-effort ticket queue with no on-call |
Speak directly with the engineers building your platform.
No account managers. No 6-week discovery slides. Two senior operators inspect your stack, pinpoint bottlenecks, and deliver clean, working code.
