ReviewScoped individually
Kubernetes Platform Review
A technical review of the clusters and platform practices: security, network, deployment, scaling, observability and upkeep.
Domain F · Engineering and platforms
DevOps, SRE & Observability
We make software releases repeatable and show you how your systems behave in real use: pipelines, safe releases, monitoring, alerts and incident practice. By SRE we mean service-level objectives, error budgets and blameless reviews, scaled to your team. This is not a 24/7 operations centre.
Status:Custom engagementTaken on as a scoped project after an assessment; every engagement is quoted individually.
Who it is for
- Teams that deploy by hand or rarely.
- Applications whose failures are discovered by customers.
- Organisations introducing AI workloads that need tracing and cost visibility.
DevOps, SRE & Observability
Problems it addresses
Risky releases.
No rollback.
Outages noticed late.
Alert noise.
No shared view of what is slow or failing.
AI costs that are only seen on the invoice.

AssessmentScoped individually
DevOps and GitOps Assessment
An assessment of the path from a code change to production: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, GitOps, change control and recovery.
WorkshopScoped individually
Observability and SRE Workshop
A workshop with your team on what you observe, how you learn about a problem and how you respond: signals, SLOs, alerts, incidents.
What you receive and keep
- Pipeline definitions in your repository.
- A release and rollback runbook.
- Dashboards and alert rules as code.
- Documented SLOs.
- An incident procedure and review template.
- Tracing instrumentation with redaction.
How we engage
Assessment
A fixed-scope review with written findings, risks and a prioritised plan.
Workshop
Half a day to two days with your team; decisions and a written summary.
Architecture
Target design, decision records, interfaces, security model and an estimate of the work.
Implementation
Built and tested increments with acceptance criteria and handover documentation.
