Cloudburst
Run & Grow

Your software is live.
Let’s keep it growing.

It works, and the business runs on it. We keep it healthy and keep improvements moving, on one flat monthly number instead of a new quote for every change.

Why Run & Grow

You run the business. We keep the software moving.

Your time goes to customers and the business. We handle the building, the upkeep, and the follow-through.

It keeps getting better.

Features keep moving, and small changes never wait in line behind them.

It stays healthy.

Updates and security kept current, with a steady lane for tech debt so every change doesn’t get harder.

It doesn’t depend on one person.

Every change, decision, and spec is written down as the work happens, so our team can pick up any of it, and so could anyone you hire later.

How it works

You make the calls.

  1. You set the priorities.

    You work in Cloudia, where you and our team get the work done: set the roadmap, decide what matters most, and describe what you need in tickets.

  2. We build it.

    Cloudia tests every change, and we review it. We move stuck or unclear tickets forward and keep the work moving.

  3. You approve it.

    You test it on staging, with release notes, and approve. It goes live when you say so.

Rather we handle the day to day? Add Managed, and we write the tickets, check each release, and send you the release notes. See Managed →

What you get

Cloudia and our team, at every tier

Every tier runs on the same idea: your knowledge of the business plus our operating experience, then the tools. Context first, AI second.

Pricing

Common questions

Why is the number of features in progress limited?

It’s how good software teams work. Keeping less in progress at once keeps things simpler, catches problems sooner, and keeps work moving to production. Cloudia is built to support that way of working. Small changes and fixes don’t wait. Approving finished work is the fastest way to start the next feature.

How does this compare to my other options?

You could do it yourself, hire offshore, or bring in a development firm. Doing it yourself costs your time. A full-time senior offshore developer runs about $6,000 a month, plus the time it takes to manage them. A development firm working with you full time, at about $150 an hour, runs $15,000 to $20,000 a month. Run & Grow gives you a team, our review on every change, and Cloudia, for one flat monthly number.

What happens when something breaks?

We monitor production and fix production issues at every tier. If your software is down, a person is on it the same business day at Run and Grow, and within two hours at Scale, with an emergency line after hours. Something broken but not down is a regular ticket at Run; at Grow and Scale it skips the line.

What if someone on your team is out, or leaves?

The work keeps moving. Every change, decision, and spec lives in Cloudia, and any of our people can pick it up. Zack brings judgment. Your software’s history lives in Cloudia, not in anyone’s memory, including his.

Does someone on my team need to be involved?

Yes. Every account needs one person who decides what gets built and confirms it’s done right. At Run, Grow, and Scale, that person sets priorities, writes the tickets in Cloudia, and tests and approves on staging. With Managed, we write the tickets from their priorities and check each release first; they approve.

Why is Managed limited?

With Managed we handle the day to day for you: writing tickets, checking every release, and sending release notes. We keep that to a small number of clients so it stays that good.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code lives in your GitHub, it runs in your accounts, and you own the database. Your code, data, and ticket history are portable at every tier, and nothing is locked in on our side.

Can I change tiers?

Yes. Every tier starts with a three-month minimum. After that, change tiers with 30 days’ notice.

What isn’t included?

Hosting and third-party services, which bill you directly, in your name. App store releases are quoted separately. Side projects, like SOC 2 compliance or a complex integration, are quoted at a fixed fee.

How do I start?

If we haven’t worked together yet, start with an Owner’s Manual. It ends with a recommended path.
