Impressive numbers! would love to do these for you for a tenth of the price you are quoting, I'd still get like a 400% margin or something. GitLab runner is just installing the package with apt and running the register command once, then updating just magically happens when you upgrade the system.

As for infrastructure, you will find dedicated servers that will perform extremely well for an equivalent 49$/mo/developer.

The type of CI you're describing would be in the "simple" category in the OP - if your goal is just "run a single docker build and check if it fails" there are lots of free hosted tools you can set up (github actions, gitlab CI, etc)

There is in fact a burgeoning industry of devops consultants that set up CI pipelines for companies, I'd encourage you to consider it if you like the work!

Actually we do, looking for more projects!

Will let you know if we know anyone that's looking for a consultant - do you have a website I could refer folks to?
