Internal Developer Platforms

Platform Engineering Consulting

Stop making your product engineers write Terraform and YAML. We build Golden Paths and Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) that abstract infrastructure complexity so your team can focus on shipping features.

The "You Build It, You Run It" Trap

Why forcing full-stack developers to manage cloud infrastructure destroys velocity.

Cognitive Overload

Your application developers spend 40% of their time wrestling with AWS IAM roles, Helm charts, and Jenkins pipelines instead of writing business logic.

The DevOps Bottleneck

Every new microservice, database, or environment requires a Jira ticket to the ops team, blocking product releases for days or weeks.

Snowflake Environments

Every team provisions infrastructure differently. There are no standards for logging, monitoring, or security, making governance impossible.

The Golden Path Architecture

How we chain best-in-class tooling to create a seamless developer experience.

1. Infrastructure (IaC)

We use Terraform to define the foundational cloud platform (VPCs, EKS clusters, RDS).

Terraform

2. Compute

Kubernetes acts as the unified compute fabric, abstracted away from product teams.

Kubernetes (EKS)

3. Deployment

Continuous delivery via GitOps. Developers merge code, ArgoCD syncs the state.

GitOps / ArgoCD

4. Delivery

Stateless CI pipelines that simply build containers, test, and push to the registry.

CI/CD / GitHub Actions

5. Observability

Auto-injected traces, metrics, and logs so teams get dashboards out-of-the-box.

OpenTelemetry / Datadog

6. Developer Portal

The self-service interface (e.g., Backstage) where developers click a button to scaffold a compliant service.

Developer Experience

Platform Engineering as a Service.

We design, build, and operate the platform layer. Your DevOps team transitions from "ticket takers" to "platform product managers," treating developers as their customers.

  • Self-service infrastructure provisioning (Database, Cache, Queue).
  • Standardized Helm charts and deployment pipelines.
  • Automated FinOps guardrails to prevent developer cost-spikes.
  • Zero-trust security policies applied transparently at the platform level.
  • Internal Developer Portal (Backstage) implementation.
