# Delivery Cost Optimization

Reduce spend on hosted runners, device clouds, and release tooling by moving the right parts of the stack in-house.

_[Expert Engineering](/ai-native-engineering) › [Enterprise Infrastructure](/capabilities/self-hosted-ci-cd-infrastructure)_

**Delivery spend, engineered down**

CI minutes, device clouds, and per-seat tools compound quietly. We audit delivery spend, model hosted versus self-hosted economics per workload, and move in-house only where the math wins.

## Enterprise Infrastructure

- ISO 27001 certified
- 100+ Enterprise projects delivered
- React Foundation Founding Member · 300+ commits to React Native · Contributing since 2016
- Industry runs on our tooling · 50M+ OSS downloads / month
- 10 min From code change to mini-app release
- 60 → 10min Faster builds after replacing Jenkins with EAS

## What you get: Pay for delivery, not for markup.

- **Spend audit** Every runner minute, device hour, and license mapped to actual workloads.
- **Hosted vs self-hosted model** Break-even math per component, including the operational cost of owning it.
- **Targeted migration** The expensive parts moved in-house; the cheap conveniences kept hosted.
- **Right-sized infrastructure** Runners and device labs sized to real queues, not peak paranoia.
- **Waste elimination** Idle runners, redundant jobs, and over-triggered pipelines cut.
- **Ongoing cost telemetry** Cost per build and per release tracked, so savings persist.

## How we work together: Improve the system without disrupting delivery.

### Extend your team (1 week)
Our senior engineers join your team to ship features, guide technical decisions, and strengthen delivery.
- Your roadmap and workflow
- Expertise shared as we work
- Flexible timezone coverage
### Deliver a project (1-12 months)
We take agreed work from technical planning to release, with clear responsibilities and progress you can see.
- 3 Callstack engineers ship like 6
- Impact visible before sprint two
- End-to-end delivery
### Solve specific challenge (as needed)
We address a performance, migration, or infrastructure challenge, or run training around your team’s needs.
- Focused reviews or implementation
- Knowledge your team keeps
- Outcomes guaranteed with contract

## Let’s find the right path for your product.

**How much can we save?**

It scales with volume: teams running heavy CI and device-cloud workloads typically save the most by owning that capacity. The audit produces your number, not an industry average.
**What are the hidden costs of self-hosting?**

Hardware refresh, maintenance time, and on-call attention. We put them in the model explicitly - and automate most of the maintenance with agents.
**What should stay hosted?**

Low-volume, bursty, or convenience workloads where elasticity beats ownership. The answer is per-component, not ideological.
**Does the team need new skills to operate it?**

Modest ones. Runbooks, monitoring, and maintenance agents keep the operational load to a fraction of an engineer.
**How fast does it pay back?**

Typically within months at sustained scale; the break-even point is in the plan before you approve anything.
**Does cost cutting hurt delivery speed?**

Usually the opposite - owned runners with proper caching are faster than shared hosted capacity.
