About Us

The team behind the work

Who we are

Infinite Drive is a San Francisco-based consultancy founded and run by two senior engineers with deep roots in DevOps and infrastructure. We're deliberately small, with every engagement handled by one of us directly, not delegated to a junior team. When a project calls for additional expertise, we draw from a trusted network of specialists we've worked with and vetted over years in the industry.

Operating model

We work primarily remote, with on-site availability for Bay Area teams when the work calls for it. We're flexible in how we engage, from focused project work that fits around your team's existing rhythm, to fully embedded when that's what the situation needs. Either way, you get direct access to the person doing the work, not an account manager.

Philosophy

We believe good infrastructure work should leave a team stronger than we found it. That means documenting what we build, transferring knowledge so your team can own it, being honest about what's in scope and what isn't, and never optimizing for the length of our engagement over what's actually right for you.

What we do

DevOps services built on real experience

From a focused two-week sprint to an extended partnership, we meet your team where they are, bringing the experience to move fast and the curiosity to tackle what's never been in front of us before.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Design, build, and improve continuous integration and delivery pipelines that increase deployment frequency and reduce failure rates. We've delivered working pipelines on CircleCI, GitHub Actions, AWX, and Atlantis.
GitHub ActionsCircleCIAWXAtlantis
Cloud Infrastructure & Migrations
AWS resource management, EKS cluster builds and upgrades, ECS workloads, and cloud migrations — including zero-downtime upgrades with Istio and cross-provider migrations that reduced operating costs by over 30%. All infrastructure is managed as code using Terraform and Ansible, with GitOps workflows via Atlantis so every change is version-controlled, reviewed, and auditable.
AWSEKSECSTerraformAnsibleGitOps
Security in Depth
Practical, layered security across your infrastructure, not checkbox compliance. We harden pipelines, manage secrets, tighten IAM policies, and meet teams where they are, whether that means building security in from the start or bringing it into an environment that's ready for it. We've guided multiple companies through SOC 2 compliance across infrastructure, access controls, logging, and the policies that tie it all together.
SOC 2IAMSecrets MgmtHardening
Observability & Monitoring
Build the visibility your team needs to catch problems before users do. We design and deploy Prometheus clusters, Grafana Loki logging, Alertmanager routing, custom metrics exporters, and dashboards your team will actually use.

Cloud Cost Optimization
Find and eliminate cloud waste through infrastructure rightsizing, provider migrations, and smarter resource management. We've delivered over 30% cost reductions on real engagements, without sacrificing reliability.
AWSCost AnalysisRightsizingMigration
Managed DevOps Retainer
Ongoing fractional DevOps and infrastructure support for teams at any stage. From a two-person startup that needs someone to own the infrastructure, to a scaling organization that needs to strengthen what's already there.

Team Buildout & Engineering Hiring
We help you build the team that outlasts our engagement. This means sourcing and referring candidates, running technical interviews, delivering structured feedback, and building the hiring rubrics your team can use long after we're gone.
