Keep Your Digital Assets Secure, Current, and High-Performing
Proactive infrastructure monitoring, rapid-response SLAs, and continuous optimization that protect your revenue and brand reputation.
The Cost of Inaction: What Our Retainers Prevent
Software systems silently deteriorate without proactive engineering oversight. Dependencies deprecate, security perimeters weaken, and silent conversion leaks drain profitability long before an outright server crash. Here is how our operational retainers protect your bottom line.
Silent Revenue Leaks
Frictionless checkouts degrade, third-party tracking scripts desynchronize, and mobile Core Web Vitals slip past threshold limits. Prospects bounce and transactions quietly fail without ever throwing an overt server crash or alerting your internal staff.
Zero-Day Vulnerabilities
Outdated runtime packages, vulnerable npm/composer libraries, unpatched server modules, and expired SSL cipher suites are actively cataloged by automated exploitation crawlers seeking easy injection vectors into customer databases.
Breaking Third-Party APIs
Payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe), CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce), WhatsApp business webhooks, and cloud storage providers routinely deprecate legacy endpoints without manual notification, severing order fulfillment pipelines.
Costly Emergency Scrambles
When a production outage strikes on a weekend, scrambling to hire an unfamiliar freelancer results in 300% surge hourly rates, hours wasted granting credentials and explaining architecture, and high risk of cowboy code causing further downtime.
SLA Breakdown: Objective Severity & Response Tiers
Our Service Level Agreements establish binding response and resolution standards. All tiers feature proactive multi-region uptime heartbeats, on-call alert escalation, and comprehensive incident post-mortems.
| Severity Level | Incident Classification & Scope | First Response SLA | Target Resolution | Monitoring & Alerting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1 — Critical | Total Outage / Severe Data Risk Complete website/app unavailability, checkout engine down, database corruption, or active security exploit blocking all users. | < 15 Minutes | < 2 – 4 Hours | 24/7 Multi-Region Synthetic Probes & On-Call SMS/Call Dispatch |
| P2 — High | Major Feature Impairment Core integration failing (e.g. CRM sync down with fallback queued), severe response latency (>3.5s), or customer portal partial impairment. | < 1 Hour | < 8 Business Hours | APM error spike threshold alerts & CPU/RAM saturation monitors |
| P3 — Medium | Minor Functional Defect Defect with viable workaround, localized visual regressions on specific screen resolutions, or administrative panel formatting anomalies. | < 4 Hours | < 24 – 48 Hours | Log aggregation triage (Sentry/Datadog) & scheduled patch rollout |
| P4 — Low | Cosmetic / Inquiry / Advisory Text/copy revisions, seasonal promotional changes, dependency deprecation advisory, architectural review, or general developer questions. | < 8 Hours | Next Sprint Allotment | Ticketing portal queue & monthly retainer backlog |
Transparent Retainer & AMC Rates
| Service Plan | Scope, Capabilities & SLA | Recurring Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Maintenance (AMC) | Continuous runtime updates, weekly security patches, automated offsite backups, 24x7 uptime monitoring — calculated as percentage of initial project build value. | 15 – 20% / yr |
| Retainer — Basic | Up to 10 engineering hours per month for bug fixes, performance monitoring, copy/asset updates, P2–P4 SLAs, and developer consultation. | ₹8,000 / mo |
| Retainer — Growth | Up to 25 engineering hours per month, priority P1–P4 queue, staging deployments, Core Web Vitals optimization, and 50% unused hour rollover. | ₹18,000 / mo |
| Hosting & Cloud Management | Cloud server administration (AWS/GCP/DO), automated encrypted database backups, SSL lifecycle automation, and memory/disk health management. | ₹3,000 – ₹6,000 / mo |
* AMC recommended after launch to protect system integrity and eliminate technical debt. Extra hours requested beyond plan are billed at pre-agreed discounted rates with prior approval.
Scope Matrix: What's Covered vs. What Requires a Separate SOW
Clear operational boundaries ensure high mutual trust. Retainer hours are dedicated to system stability, security, and continuous operational health. Greenfield feature development and large architectural shifts are scoped independently.
Continuous Health & Stability
Core engineering activities covered within your monthly retainer allocation.
-
Security Patches & CVE Remediation
Updating core framework packages, npm/composer dependencies, rotating SSL certificates, and hardening HTTP security headers.
-
Automated Daily Backups & Disaster Recovery
Encrypted offsite database snapshots, file asset backups, point-in-time recovery test drills, and rapid rollback preparedness.
-
Bug Fixes & Cross-Browser Regressions
Resolving functional bugs, form submission anomalies, checkout edge cases, and UI regressions across Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and iOS/Android.
-
Performance Tuning & Core Web Vitals
Database slow-query indexing, server caching rules (Redis/Varnish), CDN cache invalidation, and maintaining Lighthouse scores above 90.
-
API & Third-Party Integration Monitoring
Ongoing health verification of payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe), webhook delivery, mapping APIs, and transactional email providers.
-
Minor Enhancements & Content Updates
Publishing marketing copy revisions, updating pricing figures, revising team profiles, or tweaking layout components within monthly hours.
Major Builds & Re-Architectures
Strategic initiatives estimated with a standalone fixed scope and dedicated timeline.
-
Complete UI/UX Overhauls & Brand Redesigns
Ground-up brand identity redesigns, new design system rollouts, full structural information architecture rebuilds, and complete template re-themes.
-
Brand New Module & Feature Development
Greenfield functional modules such as custom multi-vendor marketplaces, AI customer agents, dedicated CRM subsystems, or native mobile apps.
-
Cloud Infrastructure Migrations
Full cross-cloud migrations (e.g. migrating AWS to GCP/Azure), complete Kubernetes cluster re-architectures, or database platform replacements (MySQL to PostgreSQL).
-
Third-Party Commercial Software & Compute Fees
Direct infrastructure compute bills (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean), domain registrations, paid SaaS API licenses (SendGrid, Twilio, Google Maps), or third-party fonts.
-
Legacy Codebase Re-Platforming
De-tangling monolithic untyped legacy applications lacking tests or documentation; this begins with a standalone refactoring milestone.
Onboarding & Monthly Workflow: How We Protect Your Stack
A transparent four-phase operational cadence designed to eliminate downtime surprises. From technical onboarding to monthly executive telemetry, every step is rigorously governed.
Discovery & System Audit
Thorough audit of your existing codebase, dependency tree vulnerability analysis, credential vaulting, cloud architecture topology mapping, and backup verification.
24/7 Synthetic Monitoring
Deployment of multi-region uptime probes, synthetic user checkout workflows, SSL certificate expiry monitors, and APM error-rate triggers directly routed to our on-call roster.
Mid-Month Patching Deployments
Staging deployment and regression testing of security patches, dependency updates, database vacuuming/indexing, and client-requested minor enhancements.
Monthly Executive Reporting
Comprehensive review of monthly uptime SLA attainment, incident MTTA/MTTR metrics, retainer hour ledger, Core Web Vitals trajectory, and next-cycle recommendations.
