You pay for what it does — not how long it took.

Managed by LJ Scaffold
We handle setup, billing, monitoring & maintenance.
Infrastructure costs + management bundled into a monthly partnership fee, scoped to your needs.

Either way — your code, data, and documentation are always yours. Option B is convenience, not lock-in.
