The bench you don't have to hire.
A white-label Django, Python, Kubernetes, and Jenkins bench for MSPs, IT firms, and agencies whose clients need custom development or DevOps work they cannot staff themselves. You keep the client relationship — we do the work behind your name.
You have the client. We have the bench.
Managed IT providers, consultancies, and agencies win clients who eventually ask for something past the managed-services scope: a custom application, a DevOps overhaul, a CI/CD pipeline that actually gates releases instead of just running them. Building that bench in-house is slow and expensive for work that shows up in bursts.
We plug in as the delivery capacity behind your relationship: senior engineering and production DevOps, on a day rate or a standing monthly block, under your brand.
Production DevOps, not a portfolio project
- Have run Date Palm Media's own DevOps since the company's founding in 2017: hosting, deployment pipelines, credentials, and production operations for every site and product the company has shipped.
- Managed production cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes delivery for MyPaintBuckets on DigitalOcean since March 2020, with evidence-backed database recovery, isolated upgrade validation, guarded Jenkins releases, and staged production promotion.
- Built the Django/Python distributed test platform for Dell's Fluid Cache team — distributed test execution, cluster registry, and log collection at datacenter scale — released by Dell as OpenPastures in 2016.
- Architected the Django backend behind RotoEdge Pro, in production use across multiple manufacturing facilities today.
What you can put behind your name
Custom application development, production DevOps, CI/CD pipeline builds, and test automation — the same practice that runs our own products and the systems in our case studies.
Four steps, no procurement maze
1. A short call
Tell us the client, the scope, and the timeline. We tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
2. NDA
Signed before any code, credentials, or client detail changes hands.
3. Rate and terms
Day rate on request, or a monthly block of days if the work is ongoing. Agreed before work starts.
4. First block scheduled
Work begins under your brand, with you as the single point of contact to your client.
Straight answers
Do you work under our brand?
Yes. Subcontract work is white-label by default — we stay behind the scenes, your client relationship stays yours, and nothing we build carries a Date Palm Media credit unless you want it to.
Day rate or a monthly block?
Either. A single engagement runs at a day rate on request, or you can book a recurring monthly block of days if the work is ongoing. We size it to your pipeline, not the other way around.
Can you sign our NDA?
Yes, by default, before any code, credentials, or client detail change hands.
Do you carry insurance?
A certificate of insurance and a W-9 are available on request.
Veteran-owned References available on request W-9
Tell us about the client and the scope.
Day rate or a monthly block, white-label, NDA first. Joseph reads every note and replies himself.
