Platform engineering

This is one of the ways we turn repeated, manual setup into a platform that lets teams ship safely by default.

Problem

01

Every team does infrastructure differently.

02

Developers wait days for environments.

03

Security is bolted on, not built in.

Outcomes

  • A paved road to production
  • Faster, safer delivery
  • Consistent, secure environments

Scope

In scope

  • Platform design
  • Golden paths and self-service
  • Policy and guardrails

Not included

  • Application development, which sits under engineering
  • Cloud migration, which is a separate capability

Site reliability engineering

Reliability needs a measurable target. We agree service level objectives with the business for each important service, measure against them, and engineer the monitoring, alerting, incident response and automation to meet them.

  • Service level objectives and error budgets.
  • Alerting that reaches a named owner, and runbooks for recovery.
  • Post-incident reviews that fix root causes.

Approach

  1. Discovery

    We agree the workloads, constraints and operational targets, and how success will be judged.

  2. Delivery planning

    We sequence the work and set out costs, risks, controls and a rollback position.

  3. Build and test

    We build in the open, test against real workloads, and prove each change before cutover.

  4. Operational readiness, hypercare and closure

    We hand over runbooks, support the first weeks, and confirm the outcome before we close.

Deliverables

Platform and golden pathsSelf-service toolingPolicy and guardrails

Technologies

Infrastructure as codeCI/CD pipelinesContainers and orchestrationObservability and monitoring tooling

Controls

Security, logging and cost tagging are built into every template. Changes to the platform itself are reviewed and tested. Every alert routes to a named owner. Post-incident reviews are recorded and actions tracked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a product we buy?

It is a capability we build for you, using tools that fit your estate, with your team enabled to run it.

How is security handled?

Security and policy are built into the golden paths, so the safe way is the default way.
