Expert partners who build with you, not just for you
Digital Buttes is a three-person team in Eugene, Oregon. We build cloud-native infrastructure that small-to-midsize software teams can maintain themselves, then run it with them: managed operations, on-call, and the compliance work that healthcare and other regulated companies need.
Teams that get stronger over time
Beyond infrastructure, we help teams adopt SRE practices: blameless post-mortems, retrospectives, and a mindset that prioritizes learning over firefighting.
What sets us apart
- Infrastructure your developers can understand and maintain
- Documentation and knowledge transfer, not dependencies
- Proven cloud-native practices over experimental tech
- SRE culture that improves over time
- Focus on velocity and confidence
