Platform and DevOps

Faster, safer releases, and platforms your team can run.

We build and fix the platforms your software runs on and the pipelines that ship it: Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability. Each piece is handed over so your team can run it.

01 / What we do

What we do.

Kubernetes

Clusters that stay upgraded and in support.

Cluster design, version upgrades and day-two operations on Amazon EKS and Azure Kubernetes Service.

What you get: Clusters, manifests and runbooks your team can maintain.
Typical timeline: Usually a 4 to 6 week sprint.

Infrastructure as code

Infrastructure you can review, repeat and roll back.

Terraform for new estates, and bringing hand-built infrastructure under code without rebuilding it.

What you get: Terraform modules, safely stored state, and a review process for changes.
Typical timeline: 4 to 6 weeks for most estates; larger estates in phases.

CI/CD and automation

Releases that are routine, not risky.

Build, test and deployment pipelines that are repeatable and safe to roll back, and automation of the routine work around them.

What you get: Working pipelines in your repositories and notes on how they run.
Typical timeline: Usually a 4 to 6 week sprint.

Observability and reliability

Problems found by alerts, not by customers.

Metrics, logs, traces and alerting tied to the ways your systems actually fail, plus follow-up after incidents.

What you get: Dashboards, alert rules and on-call runbooks.
Typical timeline: A 4 to 6 week sprint, or ongoing as part of managed support.

04 / Questions

Short answers.

Do we need Kubernetes?

Not always. If a managed service or a simpler container platform fits better, we will say so in the scoping call.

Will our team be able to run what you build?

That is what the handover is for: documentation, runbooks and a working session with your team before the engagement ends.

How is platform work priced?

At a fixed price per sprint, agreed in writing before work starts.

Where should we start?

With a platform or DevOps sprint: one problem, a fixed scope, delivered in 4 to 6 weeks.
