WHY PARTNER WITH US

Senior-Level Expertise. Zero Recruitment. Any Cloud.

Hiring a full-time Senior DevOps Engineer costs €60k+/year and takes months
to recruit. SmartCore gives you immediate access to senior infrastructure expertise
on AWS, Azure, GCP, or Hetzner, so your developers stay focused on shipping
product, not fighting servers.

Fractional DevOps

We plug into your existing workflow in days, not months. No hiring process, no HR overhead, no long-term commitment — just senior DevOps expertise when you need it.

Cloud-Agnostic Infrastructure

We design and manage infrastructure on any provider, AWS, Azure, GCP, or bare-metal. We recommend what fits your needs and budget, not what pays us more.

Our Services

Everything Your Infrastructure Needs.

CI/CD Pipelines

We automate your entire deployment pipeline on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD. Push code → tests run → deploy happens. No manual steps, no broken releases, no 2AM rollbacks.

Managed Cloud Hosting

High-performance servers on your preferred provider GCP, AWS, Hetzner, or Azure. Fully managed, with automated monitoring, alerts and backups and zero-touch deployments for your team.

Container Orchestration

From Docker Compose to production-grade Kubernetes. We design, deploy and maintain your container infrastructure so it scales automatically when traffic spikes.

Cloud Migration

Moving providers or going cloud-native? We plan and execute your migration with zero data loss and minimal downtime whether you're leaving AWS, moving from on-premise, or consolidating environments.

Managed Workplace Solutions

We manage your team's productivity stack whether that's Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or a self-hosted alternative like Nextcloud. User management, security policies, backups and support, all handled by us.

Security & Audit

We assess your infrastructure, close attack vectors, and set up automated alerting before something breaks. Includes penetration testing, VPN setup, firewall hardening, and automated monitoring.

Stop worrying about server downtime. Let’s build a rock-solid foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Our managed hosting plans are month-to-month. You are not locked in and can cancel anytime. For Fractional DevOps services, we recommend a 3-month pilot to see significant results, but the flexibility remains yours.

We handle everything. Whether you are moving from AWS, DigitalOcean, or a shared cPanel host, our team plans and executes the migration with zero data loss. For "Growth", "Pro" and "Scale" plans, this service is 100% free.

Your data stays in Europe (GDPR Compliant). We use ISO 27001-certified data centers located in Germany and Finland, known for their strict security standards and green energy usage. US locations are available upon request.

We scale you up. Unlike shared hosting where your site crashes, we can instantly upgrade your CPU and RAM resources to handle the load. Our monitoring system alerts us before your users even notice a slowdown.
