How we work with you.

Long relationships, sized to where you are.

Why a retainer

A retainer gives us time to understand your platform, see what is coming, and stop the small things from turning into the big ones.

We are a small senior team. Fluid5 Sentry, our own AI, is how we deliver more than a small senior team should. We keep the client list small on purpose.

The Retainer.

Senior Australian engineers, powered by Fluid5 Sentry, sized in hours.

Fluid5 Sentry watches your AWS estate every day. A senior engineer who knows your stack acts on what it finds. One relationship, one number to call.

At the minimum hours, your retainer covers support: fixing what we surface and answering what comes up. Anything new (improvements, builds, integrations) is scoped separately when you want it.

Above the minimum, hours set the pace. More hours, more shipped each month. Fewer hours, the same big project just unfolds over more months. The relationship is the same throughout.
