What we do

Small, sharp engagements that leave your team owning the result.

Each service is scoped to a clear deliverable. You get working infrastructure plus the Terraform, runbooks and documentation to run it yourselves.

SVC-01

AWS & EKS provisioning

Stand up your initial AWS landing zone and a production-ready EKS cluster in Terraform — VPC, IAM, networking and add-ons.

You keep: clean Terraform code + runbook
SVC-02

Kubernetes security

Harden EKS and on-prem clusters: RBAC, network policy, secrets, admission control and CIS-benchmark remediation.

You keep: hardened cluster + audit report
SVC-03

CI/CD pipelines

Build or untangle delivery pipelines in GitLab CI, GitHub Actions or Jenkins — from first pipeline to full build-test-deploy.

You keep: working pipelines + docs
SVC-04

Performance remediation

Diagnose and fix application and infrastructure bottlenecks — latency, throughput, resource and database hot-spots.

You keep: fixes + remediation write-up
SVC-05

GitLab cloud migration

Move self-hosted GitLab to the cloud with a tested cutover plan and no lost history or artifacts.

You keep: migrated GitLab + cutover plan
SVC-06

Helm & AWS architecture

Custom Helm charts for your apps, and greenfield AWS architecture designed properly before you build.

You keep: charts + architecture blueprint
How it works

Three steps. No open-ended retainer.

STEP 01

Scope

A short call to define exactly what's being delivered, by when, for a fixed price. If it isn't a fit, we say so.

STEP 02

Build

Senior hands-on delivery inside the agreed window, with live overlap during US afternoons for standups and questions.

STEP 03

Hand off

You receive the working system plus Terraform/IaC, runbooks and documentation your team fully owns. No lock-in.

Why teams pick Theta

Senior help without the agency overhead.

Senior-only delivery

Your work is done by an engineer with two decades across AWS, Kubernetes and Terraform — not handed down to a junior.

Fixed scope, no lock-in

Defined deliverable, defined price. We're built for the small, specific pieces of work agencies find too small to care about.

Everything handed back

Code, IaC and documentation are yours at the end. The goal is your team running it confidently, not depending on us.

Real US-hours overlap

Live collaboration during US afternoons (1–5pm CT / 2–6pm ET) — genuine sync time most offshore help can't offer.

Who we work with

Startups and mid-sized teams that need it done right the first time.
