Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how we work, what we deliver, and how to get started.
Working with GYSP
How does the Free Technical Brief work?
You tell us your challenge or goal — in as much or as little detail as you have. Within 48 hours, we send back a tailored brief covering architecture options, estimated timelines, team composition, and cost-saving opportunities. There's zero commitment — it's genuinely free and useful regardless of whether you engage us.
Who will actually work on my project?
Senior engineers and architects — every time. We don't staff projects with juniors or use your engagement as a training exercise. The people who scope your project are the same people who deliver it.
What engagement models do you offer?
We offer fixed-price project engagements, time-and-materials retainers, and staff augmentation (dedicated resource placement). For long-term partnerships, we also offer managed service agreements with SLA-backed uptime guarantees.
How quickly can you start?
For staff augmentation, we can typically place pre-vetted engineers within 7–14 days. For project engagements, we usually complete scoping and kick off within 2–3 weeks of agreement.
Cloud & DevOps
Which cloud platforms do you support?
We have certified expertise across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We also design and implement multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures.
Can you migrate our existing infrastructure to the cloud?
Yes — this is one of our core competencies. We've executed zero-downtime cloud migrations for enterprises processing millions of daily transactions. Our migrations include full IaC implementation, compliance controls, and cost optimisation.
How do you approach DevOps implementation?
We start with an assessment of your current CI/CD maturity, then build or improve your pipeline iteratively. We implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi), automated testing, monitoring (Datadog, Grafana), and cost visibility tools — tailored to your stack.
Compliance & Security
Can you help us achieve PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, or SOC2 compliance?
Yes. We've helped multiple FinTech and enterprise clients achieve all three certifications — including automated compliance evidence generation so audit preparation takes hours, not weeks. We design compliance controls into the architecture from the start.
How do you handle security in cloud architectures?
Security is built in, not bolted on. We implement zero-trust network architectures, least-privilege IAM policies, secret management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), WAF configuration, and 24/7 threat detection — tailored to your risk profile.
AI/ML & Data
Do you build custom AI/ML models or only integrate existing ones?
Both. We build custom ML models from scratch (classification, forecasting, NLP, computer vision), and we also integrate pre-built LLMs and AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex AI) into your products via RAG, fine-tuning, and agentic workflows.
What does a data engineering engagement look like?
Typically: assessment of your current data sources and gaps, architecture design (data warehouse or lakehouse), pipeline development (batch or streaming), data quality implementation, and BI dashboard setup. We work with Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, dbt, Airflow, and Kafka.
Pricing & Timelines
How do you price your services?
Pricing depends on the engagement type. Project engagements can be fixed-price (scoped upfront) or time-and-materials. Staff augmentation is priced per resource per month. We provide transparent cost breakdowns in every technical brief — no hidden fees.
How long do typical projects take?
It depends heavily on scope. A CI/CD pipeline redesign might take 4–6 weeks. A full cloud migration typically takes 3–6 months. A custom AI/ML product from concept to production typically takes 3–4 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your technical brief.
