DevSecOps environments
A complete, self-hosted delivery platform — set up, proven, and handed over
Set up and hand over
What it covers
A full SDLC environment from scratch
Source control, CI/CD, artifact and image registries, secrets, observability and policy — wired together and working, not a pile of installed tools.
Cloud repatriation
Moving workloads out of public cloud onto infrastructure you own or rent. Most attempts stall on the operating model rather than the migration, which is the part we staff.
An application-security toolchain
SBOM generation and component analysis, SAST, dependency and container scanning, admission policy, and one place where the findings actually land.
The position
Self-hosted, and deliberately so. Most consultancies sell cloud, because that is where the partner margins and the certifications are. We build platforms that run on infrastructure you control — your metal, your colocation, your rented hosts — because that is what we actually operate, every day, for our own products.
That is not a philosophical objection to cloud. It is a statement about where our evidence is.
Why repatriation, specifically
Moving workloads back out of public cloud is a well-documented way to cut a bill substantially. It is also a well-documented way to end up eighteen months later with a half-finished migration and a team that cannot operate what it now owns.
The migration is rarely what fails. What fails is the operating model: nobody staffed the shift from consuming a managed service to running the thing itself — the upgrades, the backups and the restore drills, the certificate rotations, the secret management, the observability that has to exist before an incident rather than after it.
That gap is the work. It is also, precisely, what a small team that runs its own estate is in a position to close.
How an engagement ends
Set up, prove, hand over. You get an environment that works, the infrastructure-as-code that produces it, the runbooks for the operations that will bite first, and a team that has watched it being built rather than receiving it finished.
We are explicit about this because the standard objection to anything self-hosted is “we do not want to depend on a consultant for our infrastructure” — and that objection is correct. Hand-over is the answer to it, not a limitation of the offer.
Where a transition period genuinely helps, we will run one, with an agreed end date.
Working language
We work in English, and remotely. Delivery is location-independent — the environments we build run on rented or owned hosts, wherever those are.
What is behind the claims
Each of these names the work that demonstrates it, rather than asking you to take it on trust.
- We run the platform we are describing
- 51 ArgoCD applications and 2 ApplicationSets under GitOps on a self-hosted Talos Kubernetes cluster, carrying platform services, middleware, CI runners and product workloads.
- We have done the migrations, not just the installs
- Ingress controller replaced with ~59 ingress objects untouched; object storage migrated estate-wide; Kafka and Redis moved off network storage onto local NVMe; a 7-node log-shipper swap with zero loss and zero duplication, verified across 46 consecutive one-minute windows.
- We keep it current, which is where most self-hosted platforms fail
- Talos 1.10 to 1.13 and Kubernetes 1.33 to 1.35 across 7 nodes, one node at a time, with an etcd snapshot before every hop.
- The security pipeline runs on a schedule and reports to one place
- SBOMs generated per build into component analysis, static analysis, secret scanning, infrastructure-as-code scanning and runtime scanning — all landing in a single findings surface rather than six dashboards.
What we decline
- Running your platform indefinitely. We hand over, and the hand-over is the deliverable.
- Being your on-call. If you need a managed service, you need a managed service provider.
- Rebuilding what already works. Most estates need a bounded change, not a greenfield.
