Dev4ager keeps websites and apps healthy with monthly care plans, dependency updates, security patches, verified backups, monitoring, small fixes, and improvement hours you direct. Products we didn't build are welcome after a short audit.
What's covered
Software rots by default: dependencies age, security advisories pile up, and small bugs compound into "we should probably rebuild this." A few disciplined hours a month prevents almost all of it, and leaves budget for the improvements users actually notice.
- Dependency, framework, and platform updates, tested, not YOLO'd
- Security patches and advisory monitoring
- Backups with periodic restore tests (the part everyone skips)
- Uptime, error, and performance monitoring with alerting
- Small fixes and content changes handled inside the plan
- Improvement hours: features, tweaks, and experiments you direct
How it works
- Audit (for inherited products). A short paid review so we know what we're keeping alive.
- Baseline. Monitoring, backups, and update cadence installed in week one.
- Monthly rhythm. Updates and fixes on schedule; improvement hours on your priorities.
- Report. A plain-language monthly summary: what happened, what's next, what to watch.
Stack we reach for
GitHub Sentry Uptime checks Playwright Vercel/Netlify Supabase
A great fit if…
- Your product launched, the build team moved on, and nobody's on call.
- You want one predictable invoice instead of emergency freelancer hunts.
- An agency or founder handed you software you're afraid to touch.
Maintenance FAQs
What's included in a monthly maintenance plan?
Dependency and platform updates, security patches, backup verification, uptime and error monitoring, small fixes, and a block of improvement hours you direct, new features, tweaks, experiments. A monthly report shows exactly what happened.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
Plans include defined response times, urgent production issues are picked up same-day, routine requests within one to two business days. Monitoring means we usually see failures before you do.
Can you maintain a site or app you didn't build?
Yes, after a short paid audit so we know what we're promising to keep alive (same process as codebase rescue). The audit doubles as your documentation: most inherited projects have none.
Do unused improvement hours roll over?
Within reason, yes, quiet months bank hours for busy ones, capped so scope stays plannable. Maintenance should feel like insurance plus momentum, not a gym membership you regret.
