A Ceres food processor needed 24/7 uptime for their ERP, here’s how we delivered it
For your Ceres business.
Trusted by companies across the USA
A food manufacturer in Ceres was losing $8,000 per hour every time their ERP server crashed. Their in-house team handled the applications but couldn’t keep the underlying infrastructure stable during peak canning season. They needed a DevOps engineer who could design a fault-tolerant environment on AWS, automate deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, and implement CI/CD pipelines to push updates without downtime. We matched them with a developer who had spent three years running containerized workloads for California wineries and knew how to tune Kubernetes clusters for high-IOPS workloads.
The first call lasted 25 minutes. We didn’t dive into resumes, we asked about their current pain points: nightly backups that sometimes failed, manual rollbacks that took 45 minutes, and no visibility into why staging and production environments drifted apart. By the end of the call, the client had a list of immediate fixes and a rough scope for ongoing work. That same afternoon, we sent three shortlisted candidates with AWS and Kubernetes experience directly to their Slack channel for quick screenings. One candidate stood out because they had previously containerized an entire inventory system for a cold-storage facility in Fresno, which used the same ERP stack as our Ceres client.
During onboarding week, the developer didn’t just hand over an architecture diagram. They spun up a Terraform module that recreated the client’s AWS environment in a staging account within 24 hours, then wrote a 10-line script to sync IAM policies between the two accounts nightly. By Friday, the client’s staging environment was running on spot instances for cost savings and the production cluster had read-replica databases in two Availability Zones. The real win came when the first sprint kicked off: the client’s team could now deploy changes via a single GitHub Action that ran tests, built a Docker image, pushed it to ECR, and updated the Kubernetes deployment in under two minutes. The old process took 90 minutes and often broke.
That was 18 months ago. The Ceres manufacturer’s ERP hasn’t crashed since the new pipelines went live. Their maintenance window shrank from four hours every Sunday to zero, and their cloud bill dropped 22% after we right-sized the EC2 fleet and implemented auto-scaling based on CPU load. The client’s in-house team still owns the application code, but the DevOps work is handled remotely by a developer who works US business hours and is available for emergencies via Slack. The Ceres team gets predictable uptime without the overhead of hiring a full-time engineer who would sit idle during the off-season.
Our DevOps team has worked with food processors, wineries, and cold-storage facilities across California, including clients in Stockton and Fresno. We know how to tune AWS workloads for high-IOPS applications and design Kubernetes clusters that handle seasonal spikes without manual intervention.
We don’t send you a generic resume. You get a developer who starts with a Terraform audit of your current setup or spins up a parallel staging environment on day one. The goal isn’t to hand you a bill, it’s to hand you a working system that matches your infrastructure within 5 business days.
Every line of Terraform, every Dockerfile, and every CI/CD pipeline we write is yours from day one. We document everything in a private GitHub repo and provide admin-level access to your AWS accounts so you can audit, modify, or rebuild the system without us.
You pay a fixed hourly rate for the DevOps engineer’s time, with no surprise charges for emergency calls or after-hours work. Our contracts cap the monthly burn and include a 10% buffer for unexpected scope changes, so you never get a bill that doubles your budget.
Our DevOps engineers are based in India but work US Pacific and Mountain hours, so your team can schedule standups at 9 AM or 4 PM without anyone staying late. All communication happens on Slack, Zoom, or your preferred platform, no email chains or time-zone games.
Need the engineer for three months during canning season? Six months for a migration? Or just for a single sprint to fix a critical issue? You can pause the engagement or scale hours up and down without penalties. We treat our developers like utilities, not employees.
Dedicate a single DevOps engineer to your team for 40 hours per week. Ideal for ongoing maintenance, infrastructure refactoring, or 24/7 support during peak seasons like harvest or holiday production runs.
Two half-day blocks per week for smaller tasks: CI/CD pipeline maintenance, security patching, or periodic AWS cost optimizations. Lets you keep a senior engineer on call without the full-time price tag.
Pay only for the hours you use. Useful for one-off projects like Terraform refactoring, Kubernetes upgrades, or a one-time security audit. No retainers or minimum commitments.
Scale up quickly by adding multiple DevOps engineers to your team for a defined period. For example: a senior AWS architect for architecture reviews plus a mid-level engineer for day-to-day pipeline management.
A 30-minute Zoom call focused on your current pain points, not resumes. We ask about your biggest infrastructure headaches, your team’s skill gaps, and your goals for the next 3-6 months. You walk away with a clear list of immediate next steps and a timeline for matching.
Within 24 hours, you’ll get three candidates with relevant California industry experience and the exact stack you need. Each candidate shares a 5-minute Loom video explaining how they would approach your specific setup. You pick the person who fits best.
The engineer starts by auditing your current AWS environment or setting up a parallel staging account. By day five, you’ll have a working infrastructure-as-code repo with documentation and a CI/CD pipeline ready for testing. No waiting weeks for access or permissions.
Your first sprint kicks off with a 15-minute planning call. The engineer proposes a backlog of tasks, usually a mix of security patches, pipeline improvements, and cost optimizations, and sets clear acceptance criteria. You see a working build every two weeks, not every six months.
Weekly 30-minute syncs keep everyone aligned. The engineer shares a Loom recap of completed work and upcoming priorities, and you can ping them on Slack for urgent issues. If priorities shift, we adjust the backlog within 24 hours, no change orders, no extra fees.
"Ritik and his team at Aneri Developers are top notch! We have been working together for almost 2+ years now and the project continues to evolve exactly how I had envisioned it. His communication is amazing and his attention to detail is even better! The mobile app and back office that we have created has freed up so much of my day to day while also giving my clients much better transparency and service in return too.
