DevOps cost calculator
Sphinx Solutions’ DevOps cost calculator makes budgeting effortless. It lets you estimate what the work will cost and plan around it, quickly, before anyone quotes you.
We optimise your infrastructure, automate the workflows and improve scalability at a low cost, without dropping anything off your checklist.
What it asks
What moves the number
An efficient DevOps strategy takes careful planning, and six things drive what it costs. The calculator prices some of them; the rest are why an estimate is not a quote.
01
A simple cloud setup costs less, while an extensive system with multiple servers, databases and cloud services costs more.
02
Basic automation is affordable. Advanced pipelines with automated testing and deployment cost more upfront and save money long term.
03
Adding security tools such as firewalls, and meeting standards like SOC 2, HIPAA or ISO, costs more but protects the system.
04
Hiring full-time DevOps engineers is costly. Outsourcing, or a managed DevOps service, reduces the expense.
05
Free, open-source tools save money. Premium software such as Datadog, Terraform Enterprise or Kubernetes management tooling adds to the bill.
06
Planning for auto-scaling, load balancing and backups raises the initial cost and avoids expensive fixes later.
