AWS, GCP, on-prem, hybrid. Terraform, Kubernetes when justified, serverless when honest. CI/CD pipelines, observability you trust, and runbooks the on-call engineer actually reads.
Mean lead-time-for-changes: 47 minutes. Mean change-failure rate: 3.1%. We measure what we ship.
Six recurring archetypes cover most of what we get asked to build. Pick the one closest to yours, or describe your own — we've probably done a cousin of it.
Greenfield AWS / GCP organisations: landing zones, multi-account, IAM, network, logging baseline, cost guardrails. The plumbing future-you won't curse.
From "click-ops in the console" to Terraform you can review, plan, and roll back. Without downtime, without drama.
Pipelines that take 6 minutes, not 36. Preview environments per PR, blue-green deploys, automated rollbacks on SLO breach.
Logs, metrics, traces, error budgets. Built around a tight set of dashboards your team actually opens, not 400 they ignore.
Honest counsel on whether you need it. When you do, we build it correctly: GitOps, network policies, pod security, autoscaling, cost-aware.
On-call rotation design, runbook authoring, postmortem culture, chaos engineering, capacity planning. Boring excellence.
Every engagement ends the same way: a production system, a team that can run it, and a written record of every decision we argued about.
A deliberately conservative core. We swap in sharp tools when the problem requires them, never because they're trending.
Pick the one that maps to where you are. Or hop between them — most clients start at one and end at another.
Architecture review, prototype of the riskiest interaction, and a costed roadmap. You walk away with a plan whether or not we build it.
Senior pod of 3–5: tech lead, full-stack, design, QA. Two-week cycles, demo every Friday, you own the repo from week one.
Once it's live. A reduced pod stays in your stand-ups, owns the on-call rota, and ships the roadmap quarter-over-quarter.
If yours isn't here, just ask. We respond to most enquiries within a working day.
Yes — most of our work is alongside in-house teams. We default to your repo, your code review, your standup. Where we run our own pods, we still pair-program weekly so the knowledge transfers from day one rather than at handover.
Frequently. We start with a one-week audit: code, infra, team, runway. Output is a frank document — what to keep, what to throw out, what to rewrite — and a costed path to stable. About a third of those projects we then take on. The rest we hand back with a plan they can execute themselves.
You own everything we write — code, designs, infra, docs — assigned on first commit. We keep no kill-switches and no exclusivity clauses. Our standard MSA is six pages and we'll happily redline yours.
For well-shaped, mostly-known scopes — yes, we offer fixed-fee with milestone billing. For genuinely exploratory work we recommend time-and-materials with a hard cap, because anyone who quotes you a fixed price for an unknown is either lying or building you something cheap.
A two-week discovery sprint. Below that we're not adding much value over a good freelancer, and we'd rather refer you to one of the four we trust than do it badly ourselves.
