Empowering Developers: The True North of Platform Engineering

Platform engineering isn't about control; it's about enablement. We build the 'golden path' for your developersβ€”a robust, opinionated, self-service platform that removes friction, accelerates delivery, and lets engineers focus on building great products, not managing infrastructure.

What We Build With It

We engineer internal developer platforms that elevate your engineering organization, making development intuitive and deployment routine.

πŸ› οΈ

Self-Service Development Portals

Custom portals (e.g., Backstage) that allow developers to provision environments, spin up new services, and access tools on demand, safely and securely.

βš™οΈ

Automated & Opinionated CI/CD Pipelines

Designing and implementing fully automated CI/CD toolchains that embed best practices for testing, security, and deployment from commit to production.

πŸ“¦

PaaS/IaaS Abstraction Layers

Creating a simplified interface over complex cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, serverless) that reduces cognitive load and enforces standards without restricting flexibility.

Why Our Approach Works

A well-designed internal platform transforms developer experience and drives organizational efficiency.

πŸš€

Dramatic Increase in Delivery Speed

By automating away repetitive tasks and providing clear paths, teams can go from idea to production in days, not weeks or months.

😊

Reduced Developer Burnout & Toil

Freeing engineers from infrastructure grunt work, allowing them to focus on high-value, creative problem-solving and feature development.

πŸ”„

Consistent & Compliant Development

Enforcing security, governance, and architectural standards automatically, without manual oversight, reducing human error and audit fatigue.

Our Go-To Stack for Platform Engineering

We leverage a blend of cloud-native technologies and specialized platform tools to build robust Internal Developer Platforms.

🐳

Container Orchestration

Kubernetes, OpenShift for foundational workload management.

πŸ“¦

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Pulumi for provisioning platform components predictably.

πŸš€

CI/CD & GitOps Tools

Tekton, ArgoCD, Flux for building, deploying, and managing pipelines and applications declaratively.

πŸ› οΈ

Developer Portals

Backstage.io for a unified developer experience, service catalog, and documentation hub.

πŸ“Š

Observability Stack

Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger for comprehensive monitoring and tracing built into the platform.

πŸ”

Policy & Governance

Open Policy Agent (OPA) for codifying and enforcing security and operational policies across the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Platform Engineering different from DevOps?

+

DevOps is a culture and set of practices. Platform Engineering builds the tools and platforms that enable DevOps practices at scale. It creates the ‘golden path’ for developers to easily follow DevOps principles.

Will a platform replace our existing DevOps team?

+

No, it empowers them. Platform teams collaborate closely with DevOps practitioners, providing the foundational services and automation that allow application teams to focus on their specific domains with greater agility and less operational overhead.

How long does it take to implement a developer platform?

+

We take an iterative approach, delivering value in phases. Initial components like self-service environment provisioning or standardized CI/CD can be rolled out within a few months, with continuous evolution based on developer feedback.

What exactly does a Platform Engineer do?

+

A Platform Engineer builds ‘internal products’ for other engineers. They treat developers as their customers, focusing on building APIs, portals, and automation that simplify infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability, reducing cognitive load for the entire organization.

How do you define the boundaries of 'self-service'?

+

We focus on the 80/20 rule: we automate the 80% of routine tasks (like provisioning a database or a namespace) that developers need daily. For the complex 20%, we provide clear escalation paths to specialized infrastructure or security teams.

How do we ensure developers actually use the new platform?

+

We treat the IDP (Internal Developer Platform) as a product. This means conducting user research with your developers, focusing on their biggest pain points, and ensuring the ‘golden path’ is significantly easier and faster than the previous manual way of working.
