Platform engineering

Platform engineering that puts your teams into true self-service.

We standardise infrastructure as code, enable GitOps, service catalogue and observability. Developers provision environments in minutes and releases move from weeks to days.

GitOps · CI/CD · service catalogue · observability · SLO/SLA

Why teams call us in

Developers gain self-service, SRE/DevOps can run the platform as a product and leadership gets clear metrics.

-65 % time to provision environments

End-to-end platform

From IaC to service catalogue

We design reference architecture, pipelines, GitOps workflows and observability. We document the platform as a product with roadmap and SLAs.

  • Golden pipelines for build / test / deploy
  • Platform product backlog & roadmap
  • Runbooks, SLO/SLA and on-call readiness

What we deliver

  • Discovery & product thinking workshop
  • Landing zone, IAM and security baseline
  • Infrastructure as Code, GitOps and automated pipelines
  • Service catalogue with self-service templates
  • Observability (metrics, logs, tracing) and incident model
  • Platform runbooks, training and governance

Case: Fintech scale-up – Platform as a product

The platform team needed to support 40 microservices. We introduced GitOps, service catalogue and SLO reporting to make delivery truly scalable.

How we structure platform engagements

We work iteratively. Each sprint ships tangible outcomes for stakeholders, SRE team and developers.

01 · Discover

Product discovery

Mapping user journeys, defining KPIs, platform backlog and governance model.

02 · Build

Platform foundations

IaC, GitOps, service catalogue, pipelines and observability with measurable SLO.

03 · Run

Enablement & runbooks

Training, documentation, on-call readiness, incident response and reporting.

04 · Scale

Roadmap & adoption

Governance cadence, feedback loops, feature roadmap and measured impact.

FAQ – platform engineering in practice

Frequently asked questions from CTO/SRE teams before launching a platform programme.

How long does it take to stand up a platform?

Discovery plus pilot catalogue takes six weeks. Full rollout depends on product teams – typically 3–4 months.

Is the platform only about Kubernetes?

No. We build around your core stack (GCP, Azure, VMware) and focus on self-service, governance and metrics regardless of technology choices.

How do we measure success?

We jointly define KPIs (lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR, catalogue adoption) and report them continuously to leadership.
