For SMB

Instant Organizational Scale.
A Full Senior Engineering Bench On Call.

Bypass the 6-month hiring cycle. Expand your team's capabilities instantly with scale-ready cloud architects, AI specialists, and DevOps leads.

You Have Traction. Now You Need Bandwidth.

You've proven your business model and your customer base is growing, but your internal engineering team is stretched too thin. They are spending too much time maintaining infrastructure and putting out fires, leaving zero bandwidth to build the new features or AI integrations that drive revenue.

The Realist Solution

We act as your elite parallel execution team. Whether you need a dedicated fractional squad, a scoped cloud migration, or a complete managed services takeover, we provide the scale you need without the bloat of full-time hiring.

Core Offerings

Four ways we scale your team — retainers, scoped builds, managed operations, and cheaper cloud.

Dedicated Engineering Engagements

Scaled Retainers

Predictable, high-volume engineering bandwidth. We scale our signature Founders Package into larger, dedicated monthly retainers. You get a fractional CTO and a dedicated pod of developers and architects integrated directly into your Slack channels and sprint cycles.

Scoped Projects & Jumpstarts

Fixed-Fee Builds

Fixed-fee, highly specialized implementations executed directly in your own environment. Whether you need a legacy database migration, a custom LLM integration, or a complete CI/CD pipeline overhaul, we scope the project, build it, and hand over the keys.

24/7 Managed Services

Operational Ownership

Offload the operational headache. Our Managed Services team takes ownership of your cloud environment. We handle disaster recovery, 24/7 monitoring, security patching, and compliance auditing so your internal developers can focus 100% on writing product features.

GCP Resold & Cost Optimization

Google Cloud Partner

Stop overpaying for your cloud. As a trusted Google Cloud Partner, we can seamlessly migrate your billing under our GCP Resold program. We provide deep architectural cost-audits and ongoing usage optimization to drastically reduce your monthly Google Cloud bill.
