Cloud native platform consultancy
We design, build and fix the platforms your engineers ship on, covering Kubernetes, infrastructure as code and delivery pipelines. Senior, hands-on help that leaves your team in charge.

We write about what we build
The first decision in any multi-tenant SaaS: pooled tables with a tenant_id column, or a database per customer. Why we default to pooled, what it costs, and how to keep the door open.
The line on your AWS bill that appears when a cluster goes out of standard support, what it adds up to across a few clusters, and the cheaper way to never pay it.
Load balancers, DNS and secrets with Pod Identity and Argo CD, plus the options for giving people kubectl access when the API server has no public endpoint.
