FAQ Platform engineering expertise

What can I expect from your platform engineering experts?

We work in stages within a fixed-time engagement. Within our process, these stages include the following:

  1. Creating a low-investment platform engineering PoC to validate key concepts explored in the discovery process. At most 3-6 months.
  2. Building your company-wide and fully functional platform and taking care of adoption and operations aspects.
  3. Setting up a framework for measuring platform engineering to define a strategic mission and vision with KPIs and/or OKR.
  4. Modernizing or consolidating existing platforms to address legacy issues, and help with migrating and merging other platforms.
  5. Enabling an internal developer portal to scale existing knowledge and leadership by providing visibility and self-service through web interfaces and custom development tools.
  6. Building a developer community by sharing knowledge and creating a dedicated space for engineers to exchange ideas and help each other.

Launching inner source initiatives to focus on an infrastructure baseline for other teams, while empowering the organization to contribute, collaborate, and reuse code.

What if my company isn't sufficiently mature for platform engineering yet?

No worries. There are other ways that we can help, including:

  • Request a platform engineering discovery workshop to see in detail where you are on this journey, available at a fixed price.
  • Guidance on building an internal open source initiative to facilitate code reuse and drive standardization across the stack.
  • Help with modernizing service management aspects and improving levels of automation.
Can I tackle platform engineering on my own?

Of course you can. We just offer a shorter learning curve and additional knowledge you may need to get started on your platform development journey. We have years of product development experience across the entire software development lifecycle.

 

  1. We help you make convoluted systems simple in secure and reliable ways.
  2. We support your organization with multi-disciplinary expertise ranging from software design, development and infrastructure engineering to release management, compliance and disaster recovery.
  3. In addition to the technology challenges, we incorporate business challenges into the process and open up new opportunities for your organization.
How do you ensure high availability and reliability of applications?

We ensure high availability and reliability by simplifying operations and enabling application engineers to deploy and manage software easily. On top of that, we also tackle scalability challenges, centralized infrastructure, ensure compliance, streamline processes, and provide guidance through all stages of development.

What level of involvement do you expect from our organization's leadership and technical teams?

We engage in time-bound partnerships and exchange information to better understand your needs during the discovery phase. This approach ensures mutual familiarity with your technology and business while sharing our expertise in platform engineering. 

 

Additionally, the involvement of your technical teams is crucial throughout the implementation process, as their expertise helps shape the platform's architecture and ensures alignment with existing systems.
