Your developers shouldn't have to be
cloud DevOps engineers too.
Rivia is the cloud operations layer dev-only teams are missing: one platform that automates security analysis, root cause investigation, and cost management, so your team stays focused on building.
Why I built this
I kept watching the same gap play out, and nobody had built the right thing to close it.
Working across hundreds of client engagements, I kept running into the same situation: teams staffed entirely with developers, smart and capable people, who were also being asked to manage cloud infrastructure, respond to security findings, investigate incidents, and keep cloud costs under control. Work they were not hired for and did not have the background to do confidently.
The typical response was to bolt on tools: a security scanner here, a cost dashboard there, an uptime monitor somewhere else. But none of it was connected. Findings piled up with no context for what mattered. Costs drifted with no one watching. Incidents took hours to diagnose because nobody had the ops experience to know where to look.
I built Rivia because I got frustrated enough to make the thing I wished I could hand every one of those teams. Not another point tool. One platform, with the automation, intelligence, and expert backup that fills the specific gap a dev-only team has.
The problem is the gap, not the team
Dev teams aren't dropping the ball. They're being asked to cover a specialization they don't have. Rivia fills that gap: it doesn't replace your developers, it gives them the cloud ops layer they're missing.
One platform, not five disconnected tools
Security, cost, uptime, root cause, inventory, and app scanning all in one place, connected to each other. When a security finding drives a cost spike, you see both in one view and understand the relationship.
Built from patterns, not guesswork
Every automation in the platform was built because I saw the same manual work repeated across dozens of client environments. It knows what to look for because I've already looked for it hundreds of times.
What this looks like in practice
Without a cloud ops layer,
these are the things that
quietly go wrong.
None of this is your developers' fault. It's what happens when the tools and expertise to manage a cloud environment aren't there, even when the team is talented and working hard.
The platform
One place for everything
your cloud environment needs.
Rivia replaces your security scanner, cost monitor, inventory tool, uptime checker, and incident tracker, and connects them so findings make sense together. Daily intelligent reports arrive in your inbox every morning.
Automated Security Analysis
No more noiseFindings across your cloud, code, and dependencies are automatically analyzed and prioritized by real-world impact. Your developers see what to fix first, not a wall of scanner output that nobody has time to read.
Cloud Cost Management
Know before the bill arrivesAutomated spend tracking, anomaly detection, and daily cost reporting across every account. Your team always knows where money is going and gets alerted when something looks wrong, before it compounds.
Automated Root Cause Analysis
Minutes, not hoursWhen something breaks, the platform traces it automatically, whether it is a security incident, cost spike, or application failure. Your developers get a clear root cause summary instead of spending hours digging through logs.
Living Infrastructure Map
Always know what you're runningA continuously updated inventory of every resource across every connected account: what it is, what it costs, what it exposes. The kind of asset visibility that used to require a dedicated ops team, fully automated.
Application Security Scanning
Catch it before it shipsDependency vulnerabilities, secrets accidentally committed, and container image issues surface automatically against your codebase and pipelines, during development, not during an audit or after a breach.
Uptime & Availability
Alert before customers noticeContinuous availability monitoring across every public and internal endpoint with instant alerting and latency trending. Your team responds to degradation before it becomes an outage.
One email. Everything your team needs to know. No dashboard required.
New security findings, cost changes, resolved incidents, and today's priorities, written in plain English and delivered automatically every morning. Your team starts the day informed without logging into anything.
New security findings
Prioritized by real-world impact, not severity score
Cost changes & anomalies
What changed overnight and why it matters
Incident & resolution summary
What resolved, what is still open, what needs action
Today's priorities

How it works
Connected and running in a day.
Connect your cloud
Read-only access to your AWS, Azure, or GCP account. The platform maps your full environment (assets, configs, spend, endpoints, and code) in minutes. No agents, no infrastructure changes, no disruption to your team.
The platform takes over the overhead
Security findings get automatically analyzed and triaged. Cost anomalies surface before the bill arrives. Root cause traces itself. Your team gets one daily briefing covering everything, without logging into five different tools.
Direct access to a senior engineer, not a support queue
Every managed tier includes direct engineering hours with me. Use them for incident response, architecture questions, or scoped project work. You reach me directly, not a ticketing system, not an account manager.
The value case
The alternative isn't free.
It just shows up in different places.
Without a cloud ops layer, dev teams absorb the cost in three ways: engineer time spent on work outside their expertise, cloud spend that drifts upward with no one watching, and security or compliance gaps that eventually require an expensive fix.
Rivia addresses all three, and costs less than one month of a part-time cloud consultant. The platform doesn't need to be perfect to pay for itself. It just needs to catch one overlooked misconfiguration, surface one cost anomaly early, or save your team from one 3am incident investigation.
One platform. Everything covered. No specialist hire.
All six tools included at every tier. The only variable is your cloud spend.
Pricing
Transparent pricing. No hidden seats.
Every tier includes the full platform, every module, unlimited users. The only variable is how much cloud you are running. Want the work done for you as well? Managed services start at $540/mo.
Micro Startup
1 cloud account · Under $1K/mo spend
Platform only. No engineering hours.

Want the work done for you?
Managed services add a monthly block of engineering hours on top of the platform, on the same cloud-spend bands, from $540/mo. Rivia does the remediation and you track every task and fix in the platform. Need project work beyond your hours? Request a quote: approve it, reject it, or bring your own team.
What customers say
"We had a wall of scanner findings and no one to act on them. Rivia closed the gaps that were blocking us from winning enterprise deals."
Joe Veglatte
CEO, Brandecation
"Having cloud ops coverage within our budget let us actually build a security program instead of just worrying about one."
Matthew White
CTO, Storefront
"The phased approach meant we built real protections without slowing down our engineering team. That balance is hard to find."
Josh Brunson
Founder, Owl.i
Professional services
Not ready for the platform?
Start with a project.
Many of Rivia's platform customers started as professional services engagements. Rivia solves a specific problem, you see how Rivia works, and if it makes sense, the platform conversation is easy. No pressure either way.
Cloud Security
Audits, remediations & architecture
Security audits, penetration testing, compliance gap remediation, and architecture hardening. The kind of focused project work that surfaces what the platform flags, and closes it for good.
