Platform Engineering & Developer Experience

Golden paths, templates, and self-service so product teams can get an environment without opening a week-long ticket.

The offering

What we actually deliver

Platform engineering is an internal product: the path from 'I have a repo' to 'it runs in staging with identity, logs, and a pipeline'. We treat developers as customers. Discovery is about the tickets they open today — new service, new environment, secrets, DNS, access. The platform is the smallest set of templates and services that removes those tickets without hiding the cloud from people who must debug it.

Golden paths cover the languages you actually use. A service template includes CI, IaC module, observability defaults, and a README. Self-service is vending or a portal only if the volume justifies it; sometimes a well-documented repo and a pipeline are enough. We measure time-to-first-deploy and ticket volume, not the number of CNCF tools installed.

The platform team gets an operating model: how to version templates, how to deprecate, how to support. Product teams get an escape hatch for the 10% of cases the path does not fit, so they do not fork in the dark.

You get fewer 'please provision this' tickets, a documented path for a new service, and a platform backlog driven by developer pain. DX is not snacks and stickers. It is time back. Templates are versioned, deprecations have a date, and the 10% of workloads that cannot follow the golden path have a documented exception so they do not fork the platform in private repositories.

What you get

A golden-path template that produces a deployable service

Self-service or documented vending for environments and access

Time-to-first-deploy and ticket metrics versus baseline

Versioning and support model for the platform itself

How we work

A delivery path you can follow

Each engagement is sequenced so architecture, cutover, and handover are visible — not a black box at the end.

01
Ticket archaeology
We read the last quarter of platform tickets and watch a team ship.
02
Path v1
One language, one pipeline, one observability default — used by a volunteer squad.
03
Self-service where it pays
Vending, portal, or docs-plus-pipeline is chosen against volume.
04
Productise
The platform has a backlog, versions, and a support channel like any other product.

More in Cloud & DevOps

CI/CD & Release Engineering

Pipelines that build, test, and ship with environments, approvals, and a rollback — so production is not a ritual on someone's laptop.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation that describes the estate you run — with modules, reviews, and a state story that survives a team change.

Kubernetes & Container Platforms

A cluster (or a decision not to have one) with deploy, secrets, ingress, and capacity — so containers are a platform, not a weekend experiment.

DevSecOps & Pipeline Security

Security controls in the path you already ship on — SCA, SAST, image and IaC scans, secrets — with a triage that developers will not mute.

Cost Optimization & FinOps

Visibility, allocation, and rightsizing so cloud spend has owners — not a monthly surprise and a spreadsheet of unused reserved instances.
