What we actually do

Platform Engineering

The foundation your product deploys onto.

We design and stand up the environment your application actually runs in: container orchestration, networking, ingress, secrets handling, and environment separation. You finish with infrastructure that is documented, reproducible, and owned by your team rather than locked in someone's head.

Typical deliverables

• Kubernetes cluster design and buildout, or a deliberate decision not to use Kubernetes
• Ingress, TLS termination, and service routing
• Environment separation across development, staging, and production
• Secrets management and least privilege access boundaries
• Runbook and architecture documentation handed to your team

Infrastructure as Code

Replace the console clicking with something reviewable.

Infrastructure that exists only as manual console changes cannot be reviewed, audited, or rebuilt after an incident. We move your environment into version controlled Terraform so every change goes through the same review process as your application code.

Typical deliverables

• Terraform modules for your existing footprint
• Remote state with locking and change planning
• Import of resources currently created by hand
• Pull request based infrastructure review workflow
• Teardown and rebuild verified in a clean account

CI/CD and Release Automation

From commit to production without a human in the loop.

Slow, manual, or frightening deploys are a tax on every release. We build the pipeline that tests, builds, and ships your application predictably, with a rollback path you have actually exercised rather than one you hope works.

Typical deliverables

• Build and test pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or equivalent
• Container image build, scan, and registry promotion
• Automated deployment with a rehearsed rollback path
• Database migration handling inside the release flow
• Preview environments per pull request where it makes sense

Cloud Migration and Modernization

Move the workload without a bad weekend.

Migrations fail on the details: data cutover, DNS, certificate handling, and the dependency nobody documented. We inventory what you have, sequence the move so each step is reversible, and keep a rollback position at every stage.

Typical deliverables

• Dependency and data inventory before anything moves
• Sequenced migration plan with a rollback point at each stage
• DNS and certificate cutover planning, including mail record preservation
• Cutover execution and post migration verification
• Decommissioning of the legacy footprint once verified clean

Cloud Cost Reduction

Find the spend that is buying you nothing.

Cloud bills grow through idle resources, oversized instances, forgotten environments, and storage nobody owns. We audit the bill against actual utilization and hand back a prioritized list of changes with the dollar impact and the risk of each one stated plainly.

Typical deliverables

• Line item audit of current cloud spend
• Utilization analysis against provisioned capacity
• Prioritized reduction list with dollar impact and risk per item
• Commitment and reserved capacity modeling where it applies
• Tagging and allocation so future spend has an owner

Architecture and Reliability Assessment

A written second opinion on what you have built.

A fixed scope review of an existing platform. We look at architecture, failure modes, deployment process, access control, backup and restore, and the operational load your team carries. You receive a written assessment with findings ranked by severity, not a sales document.

Typical deliverables

• Architecture and failure mode review
• Backup and restore verification, tested rather than assumed
• Access control and secrets handling review
• Deployment and incident process review
• Written findings ranked by severity with recommended sequencing
