Platform Engineering

Internal platforms that developers actually use.

Self-service environments, golden paths, and developer portals that remove infrastructure toil. Platform engineering that treats developers as customers.

Capabilities

What we build

Platforms that accelerate delivery — not just abstract Kubernetes.

Internal Developer Platform

A curated platform that abstracts cloud complexity. Developers self-serve environments, secrets, databases, and deployments without Kubernetes expertise.

BackstagePortHumanitec

Golden Paths

Opinionated, well-lit paths for common workloads — web apps, APIs, ML pipelines. Teams build new services in hours, not days.

TemplatesCI/CDGuardrails

Kubernetes Platform

Production-grade Kubernetes clusters with multi-tenancy, network policies, cost attribution, and GitOps-driven workload deployment.

EKSAKSCrossplane

Policy & Governance Layer

Admission controllers, OPA policies, and RBAC designed for multi-team environments. Guardrails that enable speed, not block it.

Developer Experience Metrics

DORA metrics, deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, and change failure rate. Quantify the platform's impact on engineering velocity.

DORAFour keysDashboards

Service Catalogue

Centralised service ownership, dependency graphs, and runbook links. Every team knows what they own and how it fits together.

How we engage

Developer-first from day one.

Developer experience audit

We survey your engineering teams and measure current toil: how long does it take to get a new service to production? That number drives everything.

Platform design

We design the IDP architecture, golden paths, and self-service workflows. Nothing is built until developers have reviewed and endorsed the approach.

Build and validate

Iterative delivery with developer feedback loops. We launch the platform with a pilot team before rolling out broadly.

Enablement & adoption

Training, documentation, and internal champions. We don't hand over a platform — we build the team that runs it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Don't see yours? Ask us directly — we usually reply within a working day.

A platform team builds products for internal developers. A DevOps team typically owns infrastructure operations. Platform engineering treats developers as customers and measures success by developer experience and velocity — not just uptime.

Typically 8–12 weeks for a first-generation platform with 2–3 golden paths. We de-risk by starting with a pilot team and iterating before broad rollout.

Backstage has the strongest ecosystem but requires significant investment to maintain. Port and Humanitec are good alternatives for teams without dedicated platform engineers. We recommend based on your team size and capacity.

DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, MTTR, and change failure rate. We baseline these before building and track improvement. Developer satisfaction surveys complement the quantitative data.
