Service Detail
Platform as a Product and Developer Experience
We design platform engineering around the developer experience, focusing on creating "paved roads" and "golden paths" that allow software teams to ship safely and consistently. This involves building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that uses service templates and scaffolding to standardise common patterns, significantly reducing the cognitive load on engineering teams. Every platform capability is delivered with defined Service Level Objectives (SLOs), comprehensive documentation, and clear operational ownership. By implementing self-service workflows and automated approvals, we provide developers with the autonomy they need to move fast while maintaining the guardrails required by the organisation.
Technical Implementation and Automation
We provide hands-on delivery and specialist leadership to modernise provisioning and platform operations using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps. Our engineers build secure cloud services using tools such as Terraform, Chef, Puppet, and Ansible, integrating them with high-performance CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins). Where containerisation is required, we implement secure Docker and Kubernetes patterns to support rapid scaling across public, private, and hybrid environments. This technical foundation supports everything from minor platform upgrades to major Cloud Transformation programmes, ensuring that every deployment is repeatable, resilient, and free from manual configuration errors.
Security, Compliance, and Assurance
Security and compliance are embedded directly into the deployment process, not treated as a separate phase. We align your platform to regulatory needs—including GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC2—and follow public sector expectations such as GDS principles. Using policy-as-code controls and least privilege access, we build auditable pipelines that automatically generate the evidence needed for governance and assurance. We map these controls to established frameworks like NIST, CIS, and Cyber Essentials, providing usage visibility and cost controls that improve overall platform accountability. This ensures that as the platform grows, it remains secure, compliant, and easy to audit.
Operating Model and Structured Transition
Our service is delivered via a repeatable, secure operating model that prioritises your delivery roadmap through short iterations. We begin with a structured onboarding to confirm scope, access, and security constraints, producing core run artefacts such as runbooks and dashboards. Where ongoing support is needed, we align with ITIL-style practices for incident, problem, and change management to ensure stability. We prioritise data handling and portability, following your retention rules and protecting data at rest and in transit. By using automation and exportable artefacts, we ensure your platform remains portable, allowing you to migrate or exit without vendor lock-in.
