Running and scaling GitLab Experts in production means balancing: CI/CD pipeline throughput, runner fleet capacity, governance and permissions, security scanning and compliance, high availability and upgrades, and integrations with cloud, IAM, and issue tracking.
Many organizations struggle to turn pipeline and platform signals into consistent, reliable delivery practices across teams.
MeteorOps’ team of GitLab Experts experts design architectures, execute migrations, tune pipelines and runners, and implement security/compliance controls—so your team ships faster with confidence and fewer operational surprises.
One senior engineer on your team, billed how you choose
No agency layers, no fixed retainer. A vetted, senior GitLab engineer joins your team and does the real work, from a one-off fix to a full platform build. You meet them first, and pay only for the time they put in.
- A named senior GitLab engineer from the top 0.7% we vet, not an agency queue
- In your Slack within a week, doing the actual hands-on work
- Billed by the hour, hours-bank, or monthly. No retainer, no lock-in
- A lead architect and a full expert bench standing behind them
Three ways to engage
By the hour
Pay only for hours used. Scale up or down any month, no commitment.
Hours bank
Buy a block of hours at a lower rate, drawn down whenever you need them.
Monthly
A dedicated engineer embedded with your team, billed month to month.
Switch between them as your needs change. No lock-in, ever.
