We help software teams get a platform their developers can ship on: an honest look at where you are, a foundation in code, a developer portal people use, guardrails for AI coding agents, and engineers who can run it all. In your cloud and your repositories, with open-source tools.
Take one on its own or combine them. We usually start with an assessment, so the rest is scoped from what we find.
Platform assessment
Where you are, what to fix first
We review how your teams build, ship and run software today, how ready that is for AI coding agents, and what it costs. You get a written report with a prioritised roadmap.
Delivery, Kubernetes, cloud and developer experience reviewed
Reliability, security, cost and AI-readiness findings
A roadmap you can act on, with or without us
Platform foundation
Golden paths, GitOps, guardrails
Kubernetes, GitOps with Argo CD, CI/CD, golden paths and policy as code, built in your cloud and your repositories, then handed over with the runbooks.
Clusters and environments defined in code
Argo CD, a clear repo layout and pull-request promotion
Policies and permissions that keep teams apart
Developer portal
Backstage your developers use
A Backstage portal your developers actually use: a catalog of your services, golden-path templates, docs next to the code and the plugins you need.
Catalog, sign-in and templates wired to your repos
Custom plugins and actions for your workflows
Production deployment and an owner on your side
AI guardrails
Let AI agents ship safely
Your platform as the control plane for AI coding agents: an LLM gateway with budgets, an internal MCP server that exposes deploys, logs and the catalog, and permissions for what agents may do.
LLM gateway with per-team budgets and usage visibility
Internal MCP server on top of your platform
Agent permissions, review gates and audit trail
Fractional platform lead
Senior platform lead, part time
A senior platform engineer a few days a month: roadmap, architecture and code reviews, and mentoring for the engineers who run your platform.
A platform roadmap that stays current
Reviews of designs, pull requests and upgrades
Mentoring for your platform team
Team training
Hands-on courses for your engineers
Your engineers work through our hands-on courses together, with an instructor and a shared view of everyone’s progress.
Argo CD, GitOps fleets and Backstage
Live sessions on your schedule, remote or on site
Exam vouchers for the whole team

Our methods are public
The courses and reference repos show how we lay out repositories, fence teams and drill failures. Read them before you talk to us; a training cohort covers the same material.
