Opty, LLC
Infrastructure operations, data, AI and security engineering
Opty is a small business that runs, secures and cost-optimizes production infrastructure and data systems on public cloud, bare metal and PaaS. We are 100% US-based and focused on government agencies and prime contractors in California and the Bay Area.
Company overview
Opty is a senior site reliability engineering team. We operate entire production environments, from the first CI/CD pipeline to the database, the data pipelines, the network and the monitoring stack, on whichever platform fits the mission and the budget. We work as a prime on small engagements and as a subcontractor to primes that need infrastructure, data, AI or security engineering depth.
Core competencies
Full infrastructure operations
We run entire environments on public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), bare metal (OVH, Hetzner) or PaaS (Heroku, Vercel): CI/CD, infrastructure as code with Terraform, production releases and 24x7 on-call.
Cost optimization
We know these platforms inside out and pick the right service for each workload, so the infrastructure bill goes down without giving up reliability.
PostgreSQL at scale
Years of experience operating and tuning petabyte-scale PostgreSQL on bare metal: query performance, replication, backup and recovery.
Compliance readiness
We prepare clients for SOC 2 audits and work alongside their auditors, building and documenting controls that follow NIST frameworks.
Smart contract audits
We audit smart contracts for other companies and publish the reports: findings with severity, recommendation and remediation status.
Network and endpoint security
Network optimization, mobile device management (MDM) roll-out and defense in depth, to move an organization to a strong security posture.
Observability
Metrics, logs and alerting built on the VictoriaMetrics stack, which costs far less to run than the usual ELK or EFK set-up.
Data engineering
We design data flows and build the pipelines that ingest and index large datasets, with production experience on energy sector and blockchain data.
AI and machine learning
We build inference engines and deploy locally hosted LLMs, so models run on infrastructure you control and data stays in your environment.
Blockchain validator operations
We operate validator nodes for multiple blockchain networks, including Canton: onboarding, upgrades, monitoring and backups.
Differentiators
- Senior engineers only. The people who scope the work are the people who do it. No hand-off to a junior bench.
- Platform neutral. We work across cloud, bare metal and PaaS, so we recommend what fits the workload, not what we happen to resell.
- Cost is an engineering goal. From service selection to our VictoriaMetrics monitoring stack, we design for a lower run cost.
- Both sides of the audit. We audit smart contracts ourselves, and we help clients through their own audits alongside their auditors.
- 100% US-based. All work is done by our team in the United States, with a focus on California and the Bay Area.
- Fast response. Incidents are picked up within 5 to 30 minutes, any hour of the day.
- Transparent, fixed pricing. Published monthly rates with a set number of included hours.
