The proposals you've been reviewing all look the same. This one has rates you can verify and engineers you can interview.
Each model is designed for different organizational needs. All share the same quality standards, certification requirements, and SLA commitments.
Embed certified CloudForge engineers directly into your existing team. They work on your tools, attend your ceremonies, and report to your tech lead — but they bring independently verified expertise that your hiring process may take 6 months to find.
Ideal for: Organizations that need to scale engineering capacity without the risk and delay of traditional hiring.
Minimum engagement: 1 month (rolling, 30-day notice)
Time to start: 5 business days from signed contract
Delivery model: Dedicated engineers or pods (5–15 engineers with tech lead). Engineers work exclusively on your projects for the engagement duration.
Defined deliverables, fixed timeline, managed by CloudForge. We take responsibility for the outcome — you define the success criteria, and we assemble the team and methodology to deliver it.
Ideal for: Cloud migrations, infrastructure audits, security assessments, platform modernization, and any project with clear start/end and measurable outcomes. Typical duration: 4–16 weeks depending on scope.
Minimum engagement: 4 weeks
Time to start: 10 business days from signed SOW
Delivery model: Project team assembled and managed by CloudForge. Clear milestones with go/no-go checkpoints.
24/7 infrastructure management by CloudForge engineers. We operate your cloud infrastructure with guaranteed SLAs, proactive monitoring, and continuous optimization.
Ideal for: Organizations that want enterprise-grade infrastructure operations without building an internal SRE team.
Minimum engagement: 3 months (quarterly, with monthly reviews)
Time to start: 15 business days from signed contract
Delivery model: Dedicated operations pod assigned to your infrastructure. Named on-call engineers available 24/7.
Fixed-scope packages designed for predictable budgeting and CFO approval.

Regardless of which engagement model you choose, every CloudForge contract includes these commitments as non-negotiable standards.
Signed before any technical conversation. Your code, infrastructure, and business data are contractually protected from day zero.
Every engineer's certifications are shared with you for independent verification before they join your team. No self-reported credentials.
A named contact who monitors delivery quality, handles escalations within 4 hours, and serves as your single point of accountability.
Structured review of engagement performance, outcomes achieved, and upcoming priorities. Data-driven, with actionable recommendations.
Every engagement concludes with documentation, runbooks, and architecture decision records so your team can operate independently.
We build on open standards and ensure you can operate independently when the engagement ends. Your infrastructure, your control.
Critical infrastructure issues are escalated immediately, regardless of engagement model. Named principal engineers on every escalation chain.
DevSecOps practices integrated into every delivery pipeline from day one. SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and compliance checks as standard.
Every engagement follows a structured scoping process designed to eliminate ambiguity and ensure alignment before any work begins.
A 1–3 day workshop with your technical leadership. We map your current infrastructure, identify pain points, and define success criteria. No slides — we bring our architects to your whiteboards. The output is a shared understanding of where you are and where you need to be.
Our architects analyze your infrastructure against 47 benchmarks covering cost optimization, security posture, reliability, performance, and architectural best practices. For cloud audits, this produces a detailed findings report with prioritized recommendations and estimated impact.
A detailed Statement of Work with team composition, timeline, milestones, and expected outcomes. Every deliverable has an acceptance criterion. Every milestone has a go/no-go checkpoint. You know exactly what you are getting and when.
We match engineers to your requirements based on certification, industry experience, and technology stack alignment. You review and approve every team member before they start. If an engineer is not the right fit, we replace them within 5 business days.
Your CloudForge team is embedded and delivering value from week one. Weekly progress reports keep stakeholders informed. Monthly business reviews track outcomes against objectives. Structured handover at completion ensures continuity.
These are contractual guarantees, not marketing aspirations. Each SLA is defined in your Statement of Work with specific remedies if we fall short.
From signed contract to engineer embedded in your team. This is not an aspiration — it is a contractual guarantee with remedies if we miss it.
For managed operations engagements. Measured monthly against agreed service windows with credits for any shortfall below threshold.
Every inquiry receives a substantive human response within one business day. Not an auto-acknowledgment — a real answer from someone who understands your engagement.
Critical infrastructure issues escalated to a Principal Engineer within 4 hours, 24/7. Escalation means hands-on-keyboard, not just notification.
For managed operations clients, incidents are acknowledged within 30 minutes of detection. Acknowledgment includes initial severity assessment and estimated response plan.
Structured performance review with engagement metrics, optimization recommendations, and forward-looking priorities. Executive summary plus detailed appendix.

NDA by default. Certifications independently verifiable. No vendor lock-in. Every metric above is backed by auditable engagement data.
"We went from a 6-month hiring pipeline to having a certified platform engineering team embedded in 5 days. CloudForge didn't just augment our team — they transformed how we deliver infrastructure. The quarterly business reviews alone have saved us from three architectural dead ends."
