Ed Tshuma
I help teams fix rising observability costs, high MTTR, on-call fatigue, and a missing strategy - without ripping out the stack.
Observability Retainer Observability Strategy and Operations Retainer
Alerts are noisy, investigations drag on, the bill keeps climbing, and the team is burned out on-call. Sound familiar?
What you get
- A staff-level observability engineer focused purely on visibility, cost, and reliability
- Iterative improvements delivered through a risk-based rollout
- Lower tool spend, faster incident response, and fewer 3am pages
- A clearer strategy and a team that spends less time firefighting
How I work
I start with the problems that hurt the most, land the change in production myself, and show you the numbers that prove it.
Most clients see meaningful improvements within the first month: reduced alerts, lower MTTR, and lower observability costs.
I work in your existing comms channels, and I carry each issue from the first alert through to the fix that ships.
$10,000/month Staff-level observability expertise. I ship the high-impact fixes myself so your team can keep building features.
Typical engagement: 3 - 6 months
