From £500/mo
Keep your software fast, secure and growing with the people who built it. Same engineer, same codebase — not a support ticket queue, not a stranger reading someone else's code.
What you get
Software that isn't maintained degrades quietly. This is the retainer that keeps it from becoming a liability.
Something goes down, we know before you do. We triage, fix, and tell you what happened and why.
CVEs don't wait for a convenient moment. Patched and kept on a rolling schedule — without you having to ask.
Database backups checked monthly against a real restore test. You know it works before you need it.
A budget of engineer-days each month. A new integration, a workflow change — scoped, shipped, in the changelog.
How it runs
The same four stages run every engagement. The service decides the scale, not the method.
01
Planner
What's covered, what isn't, and who's doing the work — written down before the first invoice.
02
Hub
One hour acknowledgement in business hours. Critical incidents handled outside hours. One point of contact.
Pricing
Uptime monitoring, security patches, dependency updates, verified backups, priority response, a monthly engineer-day budget.
From £500/moArchitectural changes or new features beyond the retainer scope — scoped and quoted separately, never silently absorbed.
QuotedMonth-to-month. One month's notice to cancel. Your code either way.

We prefer systems we built — we know the codebase and where the edge cases are. We do take on external codebases, starting with a structured review of architecture, security posture, dependency health and test coverage first.
Uptime monitoring and incident response, security patch application and dependency updates, automatic backups verified monthly, a budget of engineer-days for small features, and priority response. Scope agreed in writing at the start.
Large new features, architectural changes, or scope that needs a proper discovery and build phase. We say so clearly and scope it separately, not silently eat the hours.

Yes. One month's notice. The code is yours whether or not we continue — no proprietary runtime, no lock-in.
The same engineer who built the system, or a Canarlo engineer who has reviewed the codebase first. Not a rotating support queue.
