Project
A defined piece of work with a clear outcome.
- Written scope and fixed quote
- Architecture and plan agreed up front
- Built and tested in your repositories
- Handover with documentation
- Home
- Software & DevOps
Software and infrastructure engineering
We automate manual work, build custom software, and design, run and scale the infrastructure underneath it: containers and Kubernetes, Chef and infrastructure as code, and Linux at scale.
What we do
Automation
Replace repetitive manual work with reliable scripts, workflows and CI/CD pipelines, so releases and routine jobs run themselves.
Custom software
Internal tools, integrations and APIs built around how your organisation actually works, with tests and documentation.
Containers & Kubernetes
Containerise your applications and run them on Kubernetes: cluster design, migration and day-to-day operation.
Chef & infrastructure as code
Servers and environments defined in code with Chef, so every build is repeatable, reviewable and quick to recreate.
Linux infrastructure & scaling
Linux platforms that stay fast and available as load grows: tuning, high availability, hardening and capacity planning.
Managed infrastructure
We build, run and monitor the infrastructure your software needs, as a service, so your team can focus on the product.
Technologies we work with
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Chef
- Linux
- Git
Proven where it matters
We’ve delivered Kubernetes, Chef, Linux infrastructure and automation work for UK government agencies.
Those environments don’t tolerate guesswork. We bring the same habits to every project: automate it, test it, document it and secure it.
- Containers & KubernetesContainerising applications and running them on Kubernetes.
- Chef & infrastructure as codeRepeatable, reviewable server configuration.
- Linux at scaleRunning, hardening and scaling Linux infrastructure.
- Automation & custom softwarePipelines, tooling and bespoke software.

How a project runs
Discover
We learn how your systems and teams work today, and where time, money or reliability is being lost.
Design
An architecture and plan you can review, with a written scope and quote before work starts.
Build
Built in small, tested steps in your repositories, so you can see progress as it happens.
Automate
Pipelines, infrastructure as code and documentation, so it can be rebuilt and released the same way every time.
Run
We hand it over to your team, or run and improve it for you.
Questions we’re often asked
Do you work with what we already run?
Yes. We start from what you have today, on your own servers or with a hosting provider, and improve it rather than replacing everything.
Can you take over a system someone else built?
Yes. We document what it does and how it’s deployed, stabilise it, and then agree a plan to improve, containerise or replace it.
Will we be locked in to you?
No. Code, pipelines and infrastructure definitions live in your repositories with documentation, so your team or another supplier can pick them up.
Do you always use Kubernetes?
No. Kubernetes suits some workloads; for others a well-run Linux server is simpler and cheaper. We recommend what fits.
Do you work with public sector organisations?
Yes. Our clients include UK government agencies.
Should we build custom software or buy something?
If a product already does what you need, buying is usually cheaper. We’ll tell you honestly, and build only where it gives you an advantage.
