Platform Engineering
Build internal developer platforms and self-service infrastructure
We design and build internal developer platforms (IDP) that remove friction from engineering workflows and allow teams to ship faster — without sacrificing security, reliability, or compliance. Platform Engineering turns infrastructure into a product for developers, not a collection of scripts.
When Platform Engineering Is Needed
Companies usually need platform engineering when:
An internal platform standardizes workflows — without blocking autonomy.
What We Build
Internal Developer Platforms (IDP)
- •Self-service environments for developers
- •Standardized deployment workflows
- •Built-in security and guardrails
- •Clear ownership and lifecycle management
Developer Experience (DevEx)
- •Simplified onboarding
- •Consistent tooling and environments
- •Fast feedback loops
- •Reduced cognitive load for engineers
Platform Foundations
- •Kubernetes-based platforms
- •GitOps-driven deployments
- •Infrastructure as Code foundations
- •Centralized secrets and access control
Core Capabilities
Self-Service Infrastructure
- •On-demand environments (dev / stage / prod)
- •Automated provisioning via IaC
- •Policy-based deployments
CI/CD & Release Platforms
- •Reusable pipelines
- •Secure artifact handling
- •Environment promotion strategies
Security & Governance by Design
- •RBAC and least-privilege access
- •Secrets management (Vault, cloud-native)
- •Compliance-ready workflows
Observability Built-In
- •Standardized logging, metrics, and tracing
- •SLO-based alerting
- •Platform-level dashboards

FAQ
What's the difference between Platform Engineering and DevOps?
DevOps focuses on culture, practices, and tooling for development and operations. Platform Engineering builds internal products (platforms) that abstract infrastructure complexity and provide self-service capabilities to developers. Platform Engineering is a product-oriented approach to DevOps.
How long does it take to build an internal developer platform?
A basic platform with self-service environments and CI/CD can take 2-3 months. A comprehensive platform with advanced features, security, and observability typically takes 4-6 months. We start with an assessment to define scope and priorities.
Do you work with existing infrastructure or build new platforms?
We work with both. We can build new platforms from scratch, consolidate existing fragmented tooling into a unified platform, or evolve existing platforms incrementally. The approach depends on your current state and goals.
Can platform engineering work with Kubernetes?
Yes — Kubernetes is often the foundation for internal developer platforms. We build platforms that abstract Kubernetes complexity, provide self-service Kubernetes resources, and integrate with GitOps workflows.
How do you measure platform engineering success?
Success metrics include: reduced time to deploy (from days to minutes), faster developer onboarding, fewer production incidents, higher deployment frequency, and reduced infrastructure-related support tickets. We track these metrics throughout the engagement.
