DevOps, System Administration and AIOps for Teams That Ship

We design, automate, and operate the infrastructure behind your software, so your engineers stop firefighting and start shipping. From infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD to Kubernetes operations, full-stack observability, and AI-driven self-healing, we work across the open-source ecosystem and adapt to the stack you already run. Open-source-first and concept-led: we pick the right tool for your estate, compliance, and team rather than locking you into one vendor. Engineered in Europe with EU data residency available, backed by Linux and UNIX system administration that has kept production stable for years. Your data, your keys, your control.

DevOps and platform engineering

  • Infrastructure-as-code so every environment is versioned, reviewable, and reproducible - we work across the IaC ecosystem (e.g. OpenTofu, Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, Ansible, Nix) and adapt to your governance and exit strategy
  • CI/CD and GitOps that make releases fast, safe, and auditable, built on open standards like OpenGitOps and CDEvents - e.g. Argo CD or Flux for delivery, Tekton, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins for builds, with progressive delivery via Argo Rollouts
  • Managed Kubernetes operations across the CNCF landscape - from lightweight distributions like k3s, RKE2 and Talos to OpenShift - with cluster setup, upgrades, scaling, and day-2 toil handled for you
  • Container platforms built on open standards (OCI, CRI, CNI, CSI, Gateway API), choosing runtimes, networking and ingress (e.g. containerd, Cilium, Istio, Linkerd) that fit your scale and sovereignty needs
  • Internal developer platforms that give teams self-service without compromising security or compliance - we adapt to your stack rather than imposing one

System administration and SRE

  • Expert Linux and UNIX system administration: hardening, patching, performance tuning, and tested backups, baselined to standards like CIS Benchmarks where compliance demands it
  • Site reliability engineering as a service, with SLOs, error budgets, and on-call coverage your team can rely on
  • Configuration management and policy-as-code across the ecosystem (e.g. Ansible, Salt, Puppet, Chef, Nix, with OPA or Kyverno for guardrails) to stop configuration drift and enforce desired state
  • Zero-trust security at the OS and network layer - firewall, access control, secrets and workload identity built on open building blocks (e.g. OpenBao or Vault, cert-manager, SPIFFE/SPIRE, WireGuard)
  • Incident management and blameless post-incident reviews that actually reduce repeat failures, not just close tickets

Observability and AIOps

  • Vendor-neutral observability built around open standards (OpenTelemetry, OTLP, PromQL) so your telemetry stays portable - we operate the stack that fits you, e.g. Prometheus and Grafana, the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir), Elastic/OpenSearch, VictoriaMetrics or a managed mix
  • AI-driven IT operations that detect anomalies across metrics, logs and traces before users notice, with eBPF-based instrumentation (e.g. Cilium, Grafana Beyla) where low-overhead visibility matters
  • Self-healing automation that remediates known failure patterns and cuts mean-time-to-resolution, wired into your existing runbooks and pipelines
  • Alert correlation, incident grouping and noise reduction so engineers respond to signal, not a flood of pages
  • Predictive capacity and FinOps insight to spot drift and runaway cost before it becomes an outage or an invoice surprise, run on EU infrastructure under your control
FAQ
What does a DevOps consultant actually do?

A DevOps consultant assesses your delivery pipeline and infrastructure, then designs and implements automation across CI/CD, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, and observability. We are tool-agnostic by design, so we pick the right approach for your stack and compliance needs rather than forcing a single vendor's toolchain. The goal is faster, safer releases and far less manual operations toil, with your team owning the result.

What is AIOps and how does it help operations?

AIOps applies machine learning to operational data such as metrics, logs, and traces to detect anomalies, correlate alerts into incidents, find root causes, and trigger automated remediation. Built on open standards like OpenTelemetry, it keeps your telemetry portable. In practice it cuts mean-time-to-resolution and reduces alert noise so engineers spend less time firefighting.

Do you only work with Terraform and Argo CD, or other tools too?

We work across the full open-source ecosystem and adapt to your stack. For infrastructure-as-code that means OpenTofu, Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, Ansible or Nix; for GitOps and CI/CD, Argo CD or Flux alongside Tekton, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins; for Kubernetes, distributions from k3s and Talos to OpenShift. We choose what fits your governance, scale and exit strategy rather than locking you in.

Should we run managed Kubernetes or build our own?

Managed Kubernetes is faster to adopt and offloads day-2 operations like upgrades, monitoring, and backups. Building your own across the CNCF ecosystem - lightweight distributions like k3s, RKE2 or Talos, or a full platform on OpenStack, Proxmox and Ceph - gives full sovereignty and cost control. The right choice depends on your data residency, compliance, and in-house skills, and we are happy to recommend either.

Can DevOps and Kubernetes operations stay GDPR-compliant in the EU?

Yes. We engineer in Europe and offer EU data residency, running your pipelines, clusters, and observability stack on infrastructure and open-source tooling you control, so data and encryption keys stay in your jurisdiction. That posture also supports NIS2 readiness and reduces US CLOUD Act exposure for regulated workloads.

How much do managed DevOps services cost?

Engagements are typically scoped as a monthly retainer, per-environment fee, or outcome-based contract rather than a fixed list price. Cost depends on the number of clusters, environments, SLAs, and on-call coverage, so we scope it on a call rather than publish a number.
