Platform Engineering

Platform problems compound. A permissive default in a landing zone template is a small thing on the day it ships, and a much larger one once every team in the company has provisioned from it, because by that point changing it means going back through everything that has already been built on top.

We build platforms that developers are want to use and are resilient to modern threats. In practice that means guardrails that prevent the wrong thing from happening, logging that is useful during an incident, and defaults that are safe.

We work across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, OCI and Kubernetes.

Key areas where we add value

• Landing zone vending, so that teams can provision their own environments without raising a ticket or losing the guardrails
• Core platform capabilities such as centralized logging and identity, built once rather than separately by each team
• CI/CD pipelines that protect the integrity of your infrastructure as code, from commit through to deployment

Every platform trades speed against control somewhere, and the ones that fail usually went too far in one direction. We have built both sides of this, the security model and the platform underneath it, so we can generally tell you which controls are worth the friction and which ones your developers will find a way around.
