# nomadops > nomadops is a small senior team that builds the operations small startups and small teams are missing: pipelines, infrastructure, security controls, operations tooling and the agents that keep running after handover. Site: https://nomadops.io · Generated 2026-10-18 from the same content as the HTML pages. --- # Page: Home (https://nomadops.io/) # DevOps and SRE agents your team can trust. We develop DevOps and SRE agents, build MCP servers and operations panels into your app, and help teams improve their agentic DevOps and SRE posture. Example incident (sre · production): Incident on /checkout - ✗ alert: error rate up on /checkout **InspectorGadget** · finding the cause - → mcp: your-app.get_health - → mcp: your-app.list_deploys - → cause: deploy 4f2c1a changed a timeout **HeyPenny** · preparing the fix - → prepared a rollback of 4f2c1a - ✓ policy checks passed HeyPenny is waiting for your approval We work with: AWS, Azure, Amazon Bedrock, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Railway, Netlify, Claude, OpenAI, rizom.ai. ## Agents, and everything they need to work safely. We develop agents, give them safe ways into your app, and help your team get ready for them. ### DevOps and SRE agents We develop our own DevOps and SRE agents, and we connect the agents your team already uses. ### MCP servers for your app We build MCP servers that let SRE and DevOps agents check, operate and fix your app, within limits you set. ### Operations tools in your app We build useful operations tools and panels directly into your app, for your team and your agents. ### Agentic DevOps and SRE posture We help companies and teams improve how well agents can see, run and fix their product safely. ## Three agents, each with its own job. We develop these agents ourselves. They work through MCP servers and pull requests, and they ask before each risky step. ### HeyPenny — General-purpose fixer agent HeyPenny fixes what breaks. It prepares the fix, and a person approves it. - Fixes failed CI runs - Prepares rollbacks of bad deploys - Runs routine operations from your runbooks ### InspectorGadget — Finder and debugging agent InspectorGadget finds the cause. It reads logs, metrics and recent changes, and reports what it found. - Triages alerts for the on-call engineer - Traces errors to the change that caused them - Finds drift between your code and your cloud ### Atlas — Pipeline builder agent Atlas builds pipelines. It sets up CI/CD for your repositories, with checks on every change. - Builds CI/CD pipelines for your repositories - Adds plan and preview checks on infrastructure changes - Updates pipelines when your stack changes ## Let agents operate your app, within limits you set. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI agents use tools. We build MCP servers for your app, made for SRE and DevOps work. Agents get the tools they need to check, operate and fix your app, and nothing more. - Read tools for health, logs, deploys and queues - Action tools with an approval rule for each action - A log of every call, by agent and by person - Works with any agent that supports MCP Example MCP tools: get_health (read), search_logs (read), list_deploys (read), list_failed_jobs (read), retry_job (needs approval), restart_worker (needs approval), rollback_deploy (needs approval). ## Operations panels, built into your product. We build useful operations tools and panels directly into your app. Your team sees health at a glance, fixes common problems in one click, and reviews what agents did. Agents get the same actions through your MCP server, with the same rules. - Health and status views for each part of your app - Admin actions with confirmation and an audit log - Agent activity and approvals in one place ## Agents propose. People approve. Every agent we build or connect uses the same review path as your engineers. Nothing changes in production until a person says yes. Flow: Agent → Proposed change → Policy checks → Human review → Apply ### Only the access it needs Each agent gets its own identity and only the tools and permissions its job needs. ### Risky actions wait for a person Infrastructure changes go through pull requests. App actions through MCP wait for approval. ### Agent setup lives in Git Tools, prompts and permissions are code, reviewed and versioned with your infrastructure. ### Every action is logged You can see what each agent did, when it did it, and why. ## Infrastructure engineers first. Now we build agents too. We started nomadops during the Covid lockdowns, building pipelines and infrastructure as code for start-ups. Today we develop our own DevOps and SRE agents: HeyPenny, InspectorGadget and Atlas. We also build the tools that let agents work on your app safely. We are a small, nomadic team. Most often you find us in Istanbul. ## Tell us what you want agents to do. Send a short note about your product, your team and the work you want agents to do.

We develop DevOps and SRE agents, build MCP servers and operations tools into your app, and help your team improve its agentic DevOps and SRE posture. ## DevOps and SRE agents We develop our own DevOps and SRE agents, and we work with the agents your team already uses. - Setup and connection of the SRE and DevOps agents your team already uses - Tests for agent behavior, built from your own past incidents - Approval steps and logs for every agent action Agents: HeyPenny (General-purpose fixer), InspectorGadget (Finder and debugger), Atlas (Builds pipelines). Tags: SRE agents, DevOps agents, MCP. ## MCP servers for your app MCP servers (connectors that let AI agents use your app's tools), made for SRE and DevOps work. - Read tools for health, logs, metrics, deploys and queues - Action tools such as retry, restart and roll back, each with its own approval rule - Access per agent and per tool, and a log of every call - Works with any agent that supports MCP ## Operations tools and panels in your app Useful operations tools, built directly into your app, for your team and your agents. - Health and status panels for each part of your app - Admin actions with confirmation steps and an audit log - Agent activity and approvals in one place - The same actions for people in the panel and for agents through MCP ## Agentic DevOps and SRE posture Help for companies and teams to improve how well agents can see, run and fix their product safely. - A review of your product, pipelines and operations: what agents can see and do today - A plan for access, approval steps, runbooks, logs and alerts - Shared setup and review rules for the agents your engineers use - Workshops and pairing sessions on real work from your backlog ## CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure Delivery pipelines and cloud infrastructure that people and agents can change safely. - CI/CD pipelines with a check on every change, preview environments and a rollback path - Infrastructure as code for the cloud you already use, with a plan or preview on every change - Everything in your repositories, documented and handed over Tags: CI/CD, Infrastructure as code. ## Start small, then widen. 1. **Assess** — We review your product's agentic DevOps and SRE posture, and choose the first jobs for agents. 2. **Build** — We build in your repositories and your app, through your review process. You see every change. 3. **Hand over** — We document everything and train your team, so you own and run what we built. > Not sure where to start?

Every engagement has a senior lead and the same people from assessment to handover. ## Who leads the work? **A senior engineer owns your engagement.** nomadops is led by its founder, who has run production infrastructure since 1994, including seven years co-founding and running a managed services provider for startups and a decade of platform work for distributed engineering teams. The lead is on your calls and in your repositories, from the first assessment to the handover. ## How do you staff a project? **From a bench that is available now.** Most projects start with the lead and one or two people from the bench, chosen for the work: an infrastructure engineer for a migration or a pipeline, a full-stack engineer for an operations panel, a product lead while the scope is still a sketch. They are people nomadops has worked with, not strangers hired for your project and learning on it. You know who is on your engagement before it starts. ## How do you work? **Process first, then tools, then agents.** Great tools are the result of operational excellence, not the other way around. That is even more true for agents. An agent is only as safe as the access, approvals and logs around it, so those come first, and the same controls serve your own team through the operations panel. Everything is built in your repositories and handed over with documentation your team can run. ## Where are you? **Istanbul to Seattle, with every US and European hour in between.** nomadops is a US company. The lead works from Istanbul, which covers the whole European working day and US East Coast mornings; the bench spans the US East Coast and Texas, Seattle, Amsterdam, Bremen and Rabat. You get a named person for approvals and incidents in a time zone that overlaps yours. ## What do you not do? **Two things, and we say so early.** nomadops does not run 24/7 human on-call: agents watch, triage and prepare overnight, and a person approves during agreed coverage hours. And when a full-time hire is the right answer for your team, the assessment says so, with a job description you can use. ## Why a corgi? **The corgi came first.** nomadops started during the Covid lockdowns, when corgi videos did a lot for morale. The corgi stayed. ## Who we can put on your project. Senior people, available now. Operate covers the lead, infrastructure, leadership and security. Build covers architecture, application, web and AI, and product. Grow covers documentation, content and search. Each project gets the roles it needs, led by the same engineer from assessment to handover. ### Lead engineer Thirty-two years of production infrastructure for startups and distributed engineering teams, including seven years co-running a managed services provider for startups.
