Boring infrastructure, deliberately.
We work with small engineering teams that have outgrown their first setup and would rather not hire a platform team yet.
What we do
Platform review
A read of what you actually run — hosts, deploys, backups, who gets paged. You get a written assessment and an ordered list of what to fix first.
Data pipelines
Batch and streaming work that needs to survive being handed over: scheduled loads, warehouse modelling, and tests that fail loudly before anyone notices the numbers moved.
Observability
Metrics, logs and traces that answer questions you'll actually ask at 3am, and alerting thresholds that don't train people to ignore them.
Capacity and cost
Where the invoice is going, what the headroom really is, and which of the three environments nobody has opened since last spring.
How we work
- Short engagements, usually two to six weeks.
- Documentation you keep and can read without us.
- No proprietary tooling, no managed-service resale, no retainer lock-in.
- Remote by default; on-site in the Nordics and Baltics when it helps.
