What we do

Services

Everything you need to move to a hosted private cloud and run it well: strategy, cloud-native engineering and managed operations.

Consulting

Private cloud & Kubernetes strategy

Public cloud bills keep growing. We help you decide which workloads belong on a hosted private cloud, model the total cost of ownership and design a Kubernetes platform that fits your team.

Every engagement ends with a written architecture and migration plan your team can act on, whether we build it or you do.

Cloud repatriation & TCO assessments
Kubernetes platform architecture (multi-cluster, multi-site)
Hardware, provider & region selection, including Canadian data residency
Security, compliance & disaster-recovery design

Custom Software

Cloud-native engineering

We design and build cloud-native software that runs on your private cloud and stays portable: containerized microservices, Helm charts, custom Kubernetes operators and the CI/CD around them.

We also modernize existing applications and move them off cloud-specific managed services onto open, CNCF ecosystem equivalents, so you are never locked in.

Microservices & APIs designed for Kubernetes
Custom operators & CRDs
GitOps delivery with Helm, Kustomize & Argo CD
Re-platforming from proprietary cloud services to open source

Operations

Managed private cloud

We stand up and run your private cloud end to end: bare-metal provisioning, Kubernetes clusters, software-defined storage and networking, all managed as code.

Our SRE practice handles upgrades, capacity planning, monitoring and incident response, so your engineers can ship product instead of babysitting infrastructure.

Bare-metal provisioning & cluster lifecycle (Cluster API)
Storage & networking: Ceph/Rook, Cilium, load balancing
Observability with Prometheus, Grafana & OpenTelemetry
Backup, disaster recovery & 24/7 on-call

Bare Metal

A private enterprise microservice platform that runs on bare metal and significantly reduces TechOps/DevOps overhead and public cloud costs.

Kubernetes-native: standard APIs, Helm and GitOps workflows
Runs on your hardware: your data centre, colocation or dedicated servers
Predictable monthly cost with no per-request or egress surprises
Batteries included: storage, networking, observability & security

Built on the Kubernetes ecosystem

Open source, open standards

Our platforms are built from open CNCF ecosystem projects, so your workloads stay portable and your skills stay transferable.

Kubernetes Orchestration Kubernetes The foundation. Every workload, every cluster, one standard API. 01 Cilium Networking & security Cilium eBPF-powered networking, load balancing and network policy. 02 Ceph Storage Ceph Software-defined block, file and object storage, operated by Rook. 03 Argo CD GitOps delivery Argo CD Git is the source of truth. Every change reviewed, versioned and reversible. 04 Helm Packaging Helm Repeatable, versioned application releases. 05 Prometheus Monitoring Prometheus Metrics and alerting for every node, pod and service. 06 Grafana Dashboards Grafana One pane of glass for metrics, logs and traces. 07 OpenTelemetry Observability OpenTelemetry Vendor-neutral tracing and telemetry across your services. 08
