Cloud native platform consultancy

Make shipping software boring

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.

Sound familiar?

The platform should speed you up, not hold you back

Releases are an event: Shipping needs a checklist, a quiet afternoon and the one person who remembers how it works.
Kubernetes, but nobody's quite sure how: The cluster grew by accident, every namespace is a little different, and nobody wants to do the upgrade.
Infrastructure lives in someone's head: Changes happen in the console, environments drift, and rebuilding one from scratch would take weeks.
The platform team is the bottleneck: Every new service waits on a ticket to the one team that understands the setup.

These are fixable problems, and none of them needs a big-bang rewrite. Getting teams from here to dependable, self-service delivery is what we do.

Why work with us

Small on purpose

Heyal Solutions is led by Alistair Hey, a cloud native platform engineer, and works with a small network of trusted senior associates. You get experienced people without the overhead of a big consultancy.

Senior engineers only: Our work is done by experienced engineers and overseen by our founder. We don't staff projects with juniors learning on the job.
In your repos from day one: Everything we build is code, in your version control, reviewed by your engineers. Nothing important lives on our laptops.
Built to hand over: We pair with your team, write things down and leave runbooks behind. Success is you not needing us.
