Both help keep your platform running, but they work differently.
An outsourced DevOps Engineer
- A person who joins your team and works in your workflows.
- Automates deployments and manages infrastructure the way you direct.
- Good when you already run your own infrastructure and need extra hands or specific skills.
- Priced by custom quote; short or long term.
The Hosting & DevOps service
- AdTech Europe runs the platform for you as a managed service.
- Includes setup, 24/7 monitoring, scaling, backups, security patching and release rollouts.
- Fixed monthly plans: Starter $490, Growth $990, Scale $1,990 (the Scale plan includes a named DevOps engineer and multi-region setup).

| You want... | Choose |

Combining them
Some clients use Hosting & DevOps for the ad platform and an outsourced engineer for their other systems.
