Frédéric Alix — Independent SRE Consultant
Hi! I'm Frédéric Alix, infrastructure engineer since 1997. Over nearly three decades, I've built, maintained, and evolved production infrastructure for companies of all sizes.
Today, I bring that experience to startups, SMBs, and agencies that need senior SRE expertise without a full-time hire.
My approach is pragmatic: simple solutions, proven tools, no unnecessary complexity. I believe good infrastructure is infrastructure you understand, can operate confidently, and that doesn't break the bank.
Based in France, I work remotely with clients across Europe.
My philosophy
Pragmatism and simplicity
Readable architectures tailored to your context. Bare metal, VMs, containers, or managed cloud: each tool has its place. I choose based on the actual need.
Sovereignty and cost control
I primarily work with European hosting providers (OVHcloud, Scaleway). You keep control of your data and your budget.
Full transparency
You know what's running, why, and how much it costs. Dashboards, documentation, knowledge transfer — I don't create dependency.
How about a coffee chat?
A relaxed 30-minute call — no pressure, no fee — to understand your situation and see how I can help.
