We were spending 30% of our senior engineers' time on infra reviews and approvals. With Dave, that's down to effectively zero. Our FDE handles it. The engineers ship.

I was skeptical about AI touching our infrastructure. But the human-in-the-loop model is exactly right. Dave does the grunt work. Our FDE signs off on anything sensitive. I sleep fine.

Our infra approval bottleneck was killing sprint velocity. Dave fixed it in week one. I'm not exaggerating — week one.

It genuinely feels like we hired a senior infra engineer — except available at 2am and zero onboarding. We closed our last two incidents in under 20 minutes.

Security audit, compliance setup, and cost optimization - all handled same day. This is how DevOps should work.

Best investment we made this year. $2.5k/month vs $15k+ for a full-time DevOps hire. The math is obvious.
