Ongoing maintenance
For products already live that need someone to keep them patched, monitored and improving.
What you get
- Updates, bug fixes and small features
- Monitoring and backups
- A set number of hours each month
Your product is live. Now it needs someone to keep it healthy — updates, small fixes, monitoring and backups — without hiring a full-time developer.
What's included each month
- Security and framework updates, tested before they go live.
- Bug fixes and small improvements from your list, in priority order.
- Monitoring and alerts, so I see problems before your users report them.
- Backups checked by actually restoring them.
- A short monthly report: what was done, what is coming next and anything to watch.
How it works
We agree on a number of hours each month and on a response time. You send requests by email or in your issue tracker, and you see the progress in the monthly report. Larger features are quoted separately, so the monthly cost stays predictable.
Technology
Java and Spring Boot, Node.js, React and Next.js, PostgreSQL and MySQL, hosted on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or a VPS. If your app was built with something else, tell me what it is and I'll say honestly whether I'm the right person for it.
A good fit if…
- your app was built by someone who has since moved on;
- you have no developer in-house but rely on the system every day;
- you want predictable monthly costs instead of emergency fixes.
Questions
What if something breaks outside working hours?
We agree on the response time up front. Monitoring alerts reach me directly, so urgent problems are seen quickly.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. Maintenance runs month to month, and everything — code, access and documentation — stays yours.
