Build an AWS platform where GitOps and AI work as one crew

AWS platform engineering and GitOps

We design and automate reliable AWS and Kubernetes platforms, safer delivery workflows, and preview and UAT environments your engineers can understand and own.

What we build

From AWS foundations to day-two operations

One connected platform system for safer delivery, clearer ownership, and engineering decisions backed by operational evidence.

  1. 01

    Cloud architecture

    AWS accounts, networking, identity, runtime choices, data, backups, and cost controls.

  2. 02

    Kubernetes and platform engineering

    EKS, Helm, operators, cluster services, GitOps, and developer-ready platform foundations.

  3. 03

    Automation and delivery

    Terraform, CI/CD, Argo CD, preview/UAT environments, promotion evidence, and rollback paths.

  4. 04

    GitOps agentic skills

    Scoped AI playbooks correlate Git, AWS, Kubernetes, and telemetry, then prepare reviewed changes and evidence through existing GitOps controls.

  5. 05

    Observability and performance

    Monitoring, alerting, dashboards, runbooks, distributed load tests, and useful service signals.

  6. 06

    Security reports and controls

    Practical cloud security findings, AI-assisted review, remediation plans, and compliance evidence.

How we work

From executive priority to team ownership

Leadership gets clear choices and visible risk. Engineering gets a buildable architecture, reviewable change, and an operating model the team can own.

  1. 01CEO / CTO

    / What business constraint must change?

    Align the outcome

    We turn the commercial priority into a focused platform brief: safer change, faster feedback, lower idle spend, or clearer operational ownership.

    Decision / assetOutcome brief and success measures
  2. 02CTO / Platform

    / What is the simplest credible technical path?

    Prove the architecture

    We map the current AWS, Kubernetes, security, cost, and team constraints, then select the smallest credible architecture that supports the outcome.

    Decision / assetArchitecture decision and delivery plan
  3. 03Engineering

    / How will every change remain reviewable?

    Build through Git

    Terraform, CI, Helm, and Argo CD turn the design into repeatable delivery. AI prepares evidence and change proposals; engineers review and approve.

    Decision / assetClient-owned code and review gates
  4. 04CTO / Operations

    / Can risk be seen before it becomes disruption?

    Operate with evidence

    Dashboards, alerts, preview checks, security reports, cost signals, and runbooks make service health and engineering trade-offs visible.

    Decision / assetOperational evidence and response paths
  5. 05Leadership / Team

    / Can the team improve the platform without us?

    Transfer the advantage

    We test the handover in your real accounts and repositories, document decisions, coach operators, and leave a prioritised improvement path.

Agentic skill model

From platform signal to reviewed GitOps action.

Each skill is a scoped operating playbook built around recurring AWS, Kubernetes, and GitOps situations. It gathers evidence and prepares an action without giving AI an independent production approval path.

  1. 01

    Trigger from a real signal

    An alert, review request, preview failure, cost anomaly, or security finding starts a scoped skill.

  2. 02

    Gather permitted context

    The skill reads the Git history, manifests, telemetry, cloud evidence, runbooks, and ownership rules it is permitted to access.

  3. 03

    Apply the operating playbook

    Battle-tested diagnostic steps constrain what to inspect, compare, and rule out before a recommendation is formed.

  4. 04

    Prepare an evidence-backed change

    The agent drafts a pull request, report, or runbook action with its assumptions, expected impact, and rollback path.

  5. 05

    Approve through engineering

    An engineer reviews, changes, approves, or rejects the proposal. Git records the decision and its evidence.

  6. 06

    Reconcile and verify

    GitOps applies the approved desired state. The skill compares the result with expected signals and records the outcome.

Control boundary: AI reads and prepares. Engineers decide and approve. Git records and audits. GitOps applies and reconciles.

After handover

Your team owns the platform, its operating context, and the next improvement decision.

Implementation, decisions, runbooks, and review gates remain inside your accounts, repositories, and normal team practices.

Schedule a platform call

A low-cost stage. A production-ready path.

One delivery model, two reliability postures

  • Lower the idle floorShare stage services and create previews on demand.
  • Keep one delivery pathReview in Git and reconcile through Argo CD.
  • Strengthen by riskAdd production controls where failure affects the business.

Stage + previews

One lean stage. Preview capacity only when a team needs it.

Stage stays stable while temporary preview namespaces appear for a pull request and disappear when the work closes.

Illustrative stage and preview model. Isolation, scaling, and networking follow the workload and its risk.
  • Keep idle spend low

    Share platform services, autoscale workloads, and use Spot where interruption is acceptable.

  • Open previews from Git

    A pull-request label creates one service or a coordinated stack from a recorded revision.

  • Close cleanly

    Each preview gets its own route and configuration, then tears down automatically.

Agent-assisted operations

The agent prepares. Your engineers stay in control.

Scoped skills turn operational evidence into a reviewable proposal, never an unapproved production action.

  1. 01

    Read the signals

    Telemetry, Git history, manifests, costs, and security findings.

  2. 02

    Connect the context

    Correlate service, Kubernetes, AWS, and Git state.

  3. 03

    Prepare an action

    Draft a change, report, or runbook step with supporting evidence.

  4. 04

    Pass to engineers

    People approve, Git records, and Argo CD reconciles.

Controlled by design: AI prepares. Engineers approve. Git records. GitOps reconciles.

Grow without rebuilding delivery

Keep the repositories, review gates, reconciliation, and observability. Change only the controls that the risk demands.

Our approach

Principles that compound after handover

Every engagement should leave two durable outcomes: a stronger platform and a team that can operate, explain, and improve it.

Hand-drawn mountain path with milestones leading to a blue summit flag
  1. 01

    Automation first

    Less manual work, fewer errors, and more consistency.

  2. 02

    Security by design

    Controls and evidence are part of the platform, not an afterthought.

  3. 03

    Observability everywhere

    Your team can improve what it can see and measure.

  4. 04

    AI with guardrails

    AI organises evidence and drafts changes; engineers approve the work.

Production changes still follow engineer review and your existing GitOps controls.
