Enterprise-Grade Platform Engineering Services
Build resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure with our managed platform engineering services. We empower your developers with self-service IDPs, automated DevOps pipelines, and robust SRE practices.
Developer Experience (DevEx)
Stop Fighting Infrastructure. Start Shipping Code.
Platform Engineering is about treating your infrastructure as a product. We build Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that abstract away complexity, allowing your product teams to self-serve the resources they need.
- Reduce cognitive load for developers
- Standardize security and compliance
- Accelerate time-to-market
- Eliminate 'works on my machine' issues

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Manage your infrastructure like software. We use Terraform, Ansible, and Pulumi to provision and manage resources reproducibly.
Kubernetes & Containerization
Orchestrate containers at scale. We design, build, and manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE).
Internal Developer Platforms (IDP)
Boost developer productivity with self-service portals (Backstage) that standardize environments and reduce cognitive load.
Our Approach
The SPARK™ Framework for Infrastructure
We apply our proven SPARK™ framework to build reliable, secure, and scalable platforms.
Scope & Shape
Assess current infrastructure, define goals (SLAs/SLOs), and identify bottlenecks.
Plan & Pilot
Design the target architecture and prove it with a pilot migration or implementation.
Architect & Automate
Build the platform using IaC and set up automated CI/CD pipelines.
Release & Run
Go live with zero downtime and establish SRE practices for ongoing operations.
Keep Improving
Optimize costs (FinOps), performance, and security continuously.
How We Engage
From assessment to full management, we support you at every stage of your cloud journey.
Assessment
We audit your current infrastructure, security, and costs to find opportunities.
Strategy
We design a roadmap for migration, modernization, or platform build-out.
Implementation
Our engineers execute the plan using best practices and automation.
Managed Services
We take over 24/7 operations, monitoring, and optimization.
Secure Cloud Foundation
We build security into the foundation of your platform. Our DevSecOps approach ensures that compliance and security are automated, not manual bottlenecks.
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Least-privilege access controls and centralized identity management.
Network Security
Zero-trust networking, VPC segmentation, and WAF implementation.
Compliance Automation
Infrastructure as Code that adheres to SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our platform engineering services.
How do you handle cloud cost optimization?
We implement FinOps practices from day one. This includes right-sizing instances, using spot instances where appropriate, setting up budget alerts, and continuously monitoring usage to eliminate waste.
Can you help us migrate from a monolith to microservices?
Yes, we specialize in modernization strategies like the 'Strangler Fig' pattern. We help you decouple your monolith into microservices, containerize them, and deploy them to a managed orchestration platform.
What is your approach to multi-cloud?
We design cloud-agnostic architectures using tools like Terraform and Kubernetes. This prevents vendor lock-in and allows you to leverage the best services from different providers, though we often recommend starting with a primary cloud for simplicity.
Do you provide 24/7 support?
Yes, our SRE teams can provide 24/7 monitoring and incident response. We define clear SLAs and escalation paths to ensure your critical systems are always up and running.
How do you secure the infrastructure?
We follow a 'Security by Design' approach. This includes implementing Zero Trust architecture, strict IAM policies, network segmentation, encryption at rest/transit, and automated compliance scanning.

What is Platform Engineering?
Platform Engineering is the discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era. It provides a golden path for developers, abstracting away the complexities of infrastructure management so they can focus on shipping code.
Unlike traditional operations, which often function as a ticket-based service desk, a dedicated platform team treats the internal developer platform (IDP) as a product. Their customers are the developers, and their goal is to reduce cognitive load and improve the developer experience (DevEx).
By investing in Platform Engineering Services, organizations can standardize their deployment pipelines, enforce security policies automatically, and significantly accelerate their time-to-market.
The Rise of Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs)
An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is the sum of all the tech and tools that a platform engineering team binds together to pave golden paths for developers. It allows developers to self-serve environments, deployments, databases, and logs without needing to master the underlying infrastructure.
Key components of a modern IDP include:
- Service Catalog: A centralized directory of all microservices, APIs, and libraries (e.g., Backstage).
- Infrastructure Orchestrator: Tools that dynamically provision resources based on high-level definitions (e.g., Humanitec, Crossplane).
- Observability Portal: Unified dashboards for metrics, logs, and traces to debug issues instantly.
Building a robust IDP requires deep expertise in cloud-native technologies. Our Product Engineering teams work closely with platform engineers to ensure the IDP meets the real-world needs of application developers.
DevOps vs. Platform Engineering: The Evolution
While DevOps is a culture and philosophy of collaboration between development and operations, Platform Engineering is the technical implementation that makes DevOps scalable across large organizations.
In the early days of DevOps, the mantra was "you build it, you run it." However, this often led to developer burnout as they struggled to manage complex Kubernetes clusters and cloud networking alongside their application code.
Platform Engineering solves this by centralizing the "how" of deployment and operations, while leaving the "what" and "when" to the developers. It creates a separation of concerns that allows DevOps culture to thrive without overwhelming individual contributors.
Building a Cloud-Native Foundation
A successful platform relies on a solid cloud-native foundation. This typically involves containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Our Platform Engineering Services cover the entire cloud-native stack:
- Kubernetes Management: We design production-grade EKS, AKS, or GKE clusters with auto-scaling, self-healing, and advanced networking.
- Infrastructure as Code: We use Terraform or Pulumi to define your entire infrastructure in code, ensuring reproducibility and eliminating configuration drift.
- GitOps: We implement ArgoCD or Flux to synchronize your cluster state with your Git repositories, providing a single source of truth and audit trail.
This foundation ensures that your applications are portable, resilient, and easy to scale. Learn more about our Security & Compliance practices to see how we secure these environments.
