Production babysitting · one-person studio

Your app breaks at 3am. You find out from a user.

I watch the things that are supposed to run by themselves — crons, queues, scrapers, payment webhooks, data that quietly goes wrong — and I make them recover on their own. Flat monthly. Everything over text. I never ask for a call.

01

What actually breaks

Not theory. Three things I found in my own products in a single week — none of them raised a single error.

/ silence

Monitoring that goes quiet when it matters

A feed died at 23:13. Alerting stayed silent for 3h38m — the check looked for success lines in a log that only had errors. The longer the outage, the more reliably it said nothing. Now it fails over to a backup and reports the cause.

/ wrong data

A month of numbers that were quietly false

Analytics returned zeros for a month. No error — a link between two tables was never filled, so every query "worked" and every answer was wrong. Broken services are visible. Wrong numbers look like the truth, and people decide on them.

/ lost users

People who could never log in

Three users typed gmail.co instead of gmail.com. The login code went nowhere. From my side it looked like an abandoned signup. They had already decided to use the product — and missed with a finger.

02

What you get

Recovery

It fixes itself first

Where a restart, a failover or a retry solves it, that happens automatically — before you are awake. You get told what happened and why, not that "something is down".

Daily

One short digest a day

In your language, not the server's: signups, payments, the funnel step people are stuck on. Silence when everything is fine — an alert that arrives every day stops being read.

Data

Checks on the data, not just the box

Orphaned rows, links that were never filled, computed fields drifting from their sources. The failures that produce no error and cost you months of decisions.

Where you are

Alerts in Slack, email or SMS

Wherever you already work. Nothing new to install, no new app to check.

How it works

01

Free audit

You send a link and a sentence about what worries you. I look and send back a list of what is broken or will break first. Costs you nothing, and it is yours whether we work together or not.

02

Setup

Read-only access is enough. One to two days from proven recipes — the same ones running my own products right now.

03

Quiet

You do nothing. A daily digest, a message with the cause when something breaks, three lines a week.

04

Text only

No calls, no meetings, no discovery sessions. Ever. If that sounds good to you too, we will get along.

04

Price

One-off setup $300–500, then $149–299 a month. Cancel any time, no contract, no minimum term. The audit before it is free.

05

Send me something to look at

A link to your product and one sentence about what worries you. I reply with what I would fix first — no charge, no call, no follow-up sequence.
