Every growing organization eventually runs into the same challenge: the DevOps backlog. Deployments get delayed, infrastructure tasks pile up, and new initiatives stall because your team is already stretched thin. The instinctive reaction is often to hire more staff—but recruiting, onboarding, and retaining DevOps engineers is both costly and time-consuming.

At Ortus Solutions, we believe there’s a better way.


The Real Cost of Expanding Your Team

Hiring a full-time DevOps engineer can take months, with recruiting fees, training, and overhead eating into your budget. Even after all of that, there’s no guarantee that workload peaks will align with your permanent headcount. In fact, many organizations end up with uneven utilization: either engineers are overloaded or they’re waiting for the next project.


Immediate Access to Proven Expertise

Instead of inflating your payroll, imagine having immediate access to a DevOps engineer who can integrate seamlessly into your workflow. At Ortus Solutions, we provide experienced DevOps professionals who are ready to step in and tackle your backlog today.

Our engineers are not freelancers left on their own; they work under the direct supervision of our senior technical leaders, ensuring that every deliverable aligns with Ortus’ quality standards. That means you benefit from both flexibility and oversight.


Cost-Effective, Scalable Support

This approach is not just about speed—it’s about cost efficiency. With a competitive cost structure, you can scale your DevOps capacity up or down based on your project needs. You only pay for the expertise you need, when you need it, while still enjoying the peace of mind that comes with Ortus’ reputation and proven track record.


Why Ortus Solutions?

For over 19 years, we’ve helped organizations modernize, scale, and stabilize their applications. Our clients trust us because we don’t just “send a resource”; we provide an engineer backed by a team and a methodology. That’s the Ortus difference: you gain capacity without losing control.


Take the Next Step

If your DevOps backlog is slowing down innovation, you don’t need to inflate your team. You need a partner who can deliver immediate results with quality and efficiency.

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.
