Internal developer platforms that multiply team velocity

Platform Engineering

We build internal developer platforms that abstract infrastructure complexity, standardise golden paths, and give engineering teams self-service capabilities to ship faster with guardrails.

Overview

What We Deliver

As engineering organisations grow, the cognitive load of managing infrastructure, tooling, and compliance requirements slows teams down. Platform engineering solves this by building internal developer platforms that provide paved roads, self-service workflows, and automated guardrails. The result is that application teams can focus on building features while the platform handles the undifferentiated heavy lifting.

Our platform engineering practice helps organisations design and build internal platforms using tools like Backstage, Crossplane, and custom developer portals. We establish golden paths for common workflows, service templates for new microservices, and self-service infrastructure provisioning, all backed by policy-as-code to ensure security and compliance without bottlenecks.

  • Internal Developer Portal

    A unified portal where developers discover services, provision infrastructure, and access documentation in one place.

  • Golden Path Templates

    Opinionated, pre-configured service templates that encode best practices and let teams ship new services in hours.

  • Self-Service Infrastructure

    Developers provision databases, queues, and environments through a portal without filing tickets or waiting for ops teams.

  • Policy as Code

    Automated compliance checks and security policies enforced at the platform level so teams cannot accidentally deploy insecure configurations.

Capabilities

What Sets Us Apart

Customised Backstage instances with service catalogue, TechDocs, scaffolder templates, and plugin ecosystem integration.

Crossplane, Terraform modules, and custom controllers that expose simplified infrastructure interfaces to development teams.

Cookiecutter-style templates for microservices, APIs, and frontends with built-in CI/CD, observability, and security scaffolding.

Standardised workflows for environment provisioning, database migrations, secret management, and feature flag configuration.

DORA metrics, developer satisfaction surveys, and platform adoption dashboards to measure and improve developer experience.

OPA/Gatekeeper policies, automated security scanning, and compliance-as-code that enforces standards without slowing teams down.

Our Approach

How We Execute

01

Developer Experience Audit

We survey your engineering teams, map their workflows, and identify the biggest friction points and cognitive load drivers.

02

Platform Vision & MVP

A platform strategy is defined with your team, prioritising the highest-impact capabilities for an initial MVP release.

03

Iterative Platform Build

Platform capabilities are built and released incrementally, gathering developer feedback to shape the roadmap continuously.

04

Adoption & Evangelism

Internal launch campaigns, documentation, workshops, and champion programs drive adoption across engineering teams.

Use Cases

Real-World Applications

01

Internal Developer Portal

A fintech with 200+ engineers launched a Backstage-based portal that reduced new service onboarding from two weeks to four hours.

02

Self-Service Environments

An e-commerce company gave developers on-demand preview environments for every pull request, accelerating code review cycles by 60%.

03

Golden Path for Microservices

A healthcare platform standardised service creation with templates that included CI/CD, monitoring, and compliance checks out of the box.

04

Platform Team Bootstrap

A growing startup established its first platform team with a clear charter, platform backlog, and initial capabilities within three months.
