What We Do

We provide our developers with a stable and reliable platform as a product. Our aim is to abstract the complexities of Kubernetes away so that teams can easily create and deploy services into production by just specify the configuration and resources that are required for the application to run. We believe that GitOps is the best way to realize this vision, using tools such as ArgoCD, Terraform, Helm, Kustomize, and Backstage. We are not afraid to evaluate new technologies if it can further improve the developer experience; current technologies we are assessing are Cue, Pulumi, and Crossplane.  

We also provide our development team with a monitoring stack so that they can effectively monitor metrics and logs from their applications in production. We believe in “You build it, you run it”.
