Platform work we can show

We only show work we can publish. This is the platform we run ourselves, and you are using it right now.

The problem
Serve a server-rendered site and CMS-backed blog from infrastructure the team controls, with repeatable releases and no single pod as a point of failure.
What we built
Cloudflare for DNS and CDN in front of a Kubernetes ingress with TLS; the application runs as a containerised, autoscaled deployment, with the CMS headless behind it. GitHub Actions builds every merge to main and publishes a tagged image; 2–6 autoscaled replicas and a disruption budget keep it serving through node drains.
The result
Releases go out from a merge to main, and the site keeps serving while pods restart or nodes are drained.

How it works

From first call to handover

  1. 1

    Assess

    We review how your team builds, deploys and runs software today.

  2. 2

    Design

    A target platform sized to your team, with a fixed scope and price.

  3. 3

    Build

    Infrastructure, pipelines and self-service delivered in reviewed stages.

  4. 4

    Hand over

    Documentation and knowledge transfer, so your team owns the platform.

Our promises

A platform your team owns

Four commitments in every project, in writing.

  • Your accounts, your repositories.

    Everything is built in cloud accounts and Git repositories you own, with access you grant and can revoke.

  • Fixed price in writing.

    Scope and price are agreed before work starts. Extra work only happens if you approve a new quote.

  • Documented and handed over.

    We document how the platform is used and operated, and walk your team through it before we step back.

  • Support only if you want it.

    Optional platform support from $300/month: upgrades, CI/CD maintenance, monitoring and troubleshooting, with hours agreed in writing.

Built with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, Terraform and Pulumi, on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or the provider you already use.

FAQ

Questions before you start

How much does platform engineering cost?

CI/CD engineering starts from $1,500 (₹1.25 lakh in India), Infrastructure as Code from $2,500 (₹2 lakh in India), Kubernetes and GitOps platforms from $3,500 (₹3 lakh in India), internal developer platforms from $7,500 (₹6 lakh in India) and custom platform engineering from $10,000 (₹8 lakh in India). Cloud and third-party costs are separate.

What is platform engineering, and when do we need it?

Building the shared pipelines, infrastructure and workflows developers use to build, test, deploy and run software. Teams usually need it when deployments are manual or inconsistent, environments drift apart, or developers wait on infrastructure help for routine work. Small teams often need only a good pipeline and some automation.

Cloud & DevOps or Platform Engineering — which do I need?

Platform Engineering is a project: we build CI/CD, Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code for your developers to run; Cloud & DevOps is for when you want us to run your infrastructure month to month.

See Cloud & DevOps

Do we need Kubernetes?

Not necessarily. Kubernetes suits teams running several services that need scaling and standard deployments; many applications run well on simpler managed platforms. We look at your workloads and team before recommending it.

Can you work with our existing cloud and DevOps team?

Yes. We work on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and other providers, usually improving what you have rather than starting again. We can build alongside your team, extend what they have built and hand over with documentation.

How long does a platform project take?

A CI/CD or infrastructure automation project usually takes a few weeks; Kubernetes platforms and internal developer platforms take one to several months, delivered in stages.

Do you support the platform after handover?

Only if you want us to. Optional support starts from $300/month (₹25,000/month in India): upgrades, CI/CD maintenance, monitoring, security updates and troubleshooting, with hours agreed in writing. Many teams run the platform themselves.
