You build websites. plainfra watches the servers.
Weekly health reports per client. Early warnings on disk space, SSL certificates, and cost spikes. Know about problems before your clients do — no AWS expertise required.
Here's the status across your client accounts:
All services running. SSL certificate renews in 45 days. Costs stable at $340/mo.
EC2 instance at 92% disk. At current rate, will fill within a week. Recommend clearing old logs or resizing the volume.
All services running, but costs up 30% due to increased S3 transfer — likely from the new video content added last week.
You're a design and dev agency, not an ops team
Clients expect their sites to stay up
You built them a great website and deployed it to AWS. Now they assume it will just keep running. But servers need monitoring, certificates expire, and disks fill up — and none of that is in your retainer.
Finding out from the client is embarrassing
Nothing erodes trust faster than a client emailing you "our website is down" when you had no idea. You should be the one telling them about issues — not the other way around.
AWS is a black box you set up once and pray
You got the EC2 instance running, pointed the DNS, installed the SSL cert. That was six months ago. You have no idea what state it's in now, and the AWS console feels like mission control at NASA.
You can't justify a full-time ops hire
A DevOps engineer costs $150K+ a year. You're hosting 10 client sites, not running a data centre. You need just enough infrastructure oversight to keep things running — without the headcount.
Know before your clients call
plainfra monitors your client AWS environments and flags issues early. You get a clear picture of every client site — health, costs, and risks — delivered in plain English.
Weekly site health reports per client
Every Monday, get a status report for each client environment. GREEN/AMBER/RED indicators, cost trends, certificate expiry dates, and disk usage. One glance tells you who needs attention.
Plain-English monitoring
No AWS expertise needed. Ask "is ClientB's site OK?" and get a straight answer — not a wall of CloudWatch metrics. plainfra translates infrastructure status into language your whole team understands.
Early warning on real issues
Disk filling up? SSL certificate expiring in 2 weeks? Costs spiking unexpectedly? plainfra catches these before they become client emergencies. Fix a problem while it's still small.
How it works
Connect your client accounts
Sign up and deploy a read-only IAM role in each client's AWS account (one command per account). plainfra can look but never touch.
Get your first health reports
plainfra scans each client environment and delivers a per-client status report. Ask follow-up questions in plain English about any client.
Stay ahead of issues
Weekly reports flag problems before clients notice. When a client calls, you already know the answer. That's the kind of agency they keep on retainer.
Ask in plain English, get real answers
"Are all our client sites healthy right now?"
"Is ClientB's server running low on disk space?"
"When does ClientA's SSL certificate expire?"
"Why did hosting costs go up for ClientC?"
"Are there any security issues across our clients?"
"Give me a summary I can send to ClientA"
Read-only. Always.
plainfra can inspect your client infrastructure but cannot modify, delete, or create anything. Your client environments are never at risk.
