Infrastructure Engineering
Your infrastructure, built and operated by engineers who do this full-time. Terraform, Kubernetes, observability, and 24/7 on-call — production-ready from week one, no six-month hiring process required.
What We Build and Operate
Infrastructure engineering isn't one job. It's Terraform specialists, Kubernetes operators, security engineers, and on-call responders. We bring all of it.
Cloud Infrastructure
VPCs, subnets, IAM roles, security groups, load balancers, S3 buckets — everything provisioned with Terraform and peer-reviewed as code. Every resource has an owner, a cost center tag, and a reason to exist. Nothing unnamed, nothing forgotten.
Kubernetes Clusters
EKS, GKE, AKS, or bare-metal. We configure RBAC, network policies, resource quotas, pod security standards, and GitOps-driven deployments from day one — not as a hardening project three months later when something goes wrong.
Networking & Security
Private networking, zero-trust access via Teleport instead of bastions, secrets management with Vault or AWS Secrets Manager. We eliminate standing credentials, lateral movement vectors, and the SSH key problem your team has been meaning to fix.
Observability Stack
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or Datadog — whichever fits your scale and budget. SLOs defined, dashboards built, and runbooks written before alerts fire. We don't set up monitoring and then let your team figure out what the alerts mean.
Disaster Recovery
Backup strategy, RTO/RPO targets documented and agreed, and tested restore procedures that someone has actually run. DR only counts if you've practiced it. We run restore drills so that the first time you execute a recovery isn't during an incident.
On-Call Operations
24/7 coverage on your production systems. When something pages at 2am, an experienced engineer responds — not a junior who escalates to you anyway. We handle incident response, write postmortems, and close the gaps that caused the incident so it doesn't repeat.
How We Work
Taking over an existing infrastructure safely takes a structured approach. Cutting corners in the first sprint creates problems in the third.
Infrastructure Audit
We map what you have: access audit, dependency graph, cost breakdown, and risk assessment. We identify what's on fire, what's load-bearing but undocumented, and what can be safely changed. Nothing gets touched until we understand it.
IaC Migration (if needed)
If your infrastructure was built by clicking around in the AWS console, we import it into Terraform state and get it under version control. This is usually the highest-leverage thing we can do — it makes every subsequent change safer, faster, and reviewable.
Baseline Hardening
Security posture, monitoring coverage, and deployment reliability brought up to a defined baseline. IAM policies tightened, secrets rotated, SLOs established, and runbooks written. Most teams notice the difference in their first production incident after this — it gets boring.
Steady-State Operations
Ongoing infrastructure work: new environments, scaling challenges, cost optimization, compliance requirements, and technology migrations. You get a team that knows your setup and is accountable for its reliability — not a ticket queue of external contractors.
Tools & Technologies
We bring strong opinions and deep experience with the tools that run serious production infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire an infrastructure engineering team instead of one engineer?
One engineer is a single point of failure — they go on vacation, they get sick, they leave. They also have a skills ceiling: the person who's great at Kubernetes might not be great at security compliance. Our team brings redundancy, specialization across domains, and 24/7 coverage. And because you're not paying for one full-time headcount, you get more experienced people than you'd be able to hire at that salary band.
Do you write everything as Infrastructure as Code?
Yes, without exceptions. Every resource we create or modify is in Terraform or Pulumi. Nothing is clicked together in the AWS console. This isn't just a best practice posture — it means your infrastructure is auditable, reproducible, and yours when the engagement ends. You can see exactly what changed, when, and why, because it's all in pull requests with commit messages.
What happens when we want to bring infrastructure in-house?
We've designed for that from day one. All code is in your repositories, everything is documented, and we run structured handover sprints for teams that want to take over. Clients who have taken infrastructure in-house typically say the transition was the smoothest project handoff they've done — because the docs existed and were accurate.
Can you take over an existing infrastructure that's already in production?
It's most of what we do. Greenfield projects are rare. We run a discovery sprint first — access audit, dependency mapping, cost analysis, risk assessment — before we change anything. We've taken over infrastructure ranging from "reasonably well-organized" to "how has this not fallen over," and we approach both with the same discipline.
