Cloud & infrastructure engineering — Berlin

From cloud
to production.

We design, build, and secure the infrastructure startups run on — in the cloud, on-premises, and everywhere between.

The moment you call us

Sound familiar?

Not because something is on fire — because infrastructure quietly became the thing standing between you and the next stage.

01

The enterprise deal just asked for ISO 27001.

02

The backlog keeps growing. The team’s too busy to touch it.

03

The cloud bill doubled. Nobody can say why.

04

Half your workload can never live in the cloud.


What we do

Six ways in.

All services →
01

Cloud & Infrastructure Foundations

New environments built right the first time: account and project structure, identity and SSO, network design, infrastructure-as-code baselines, and guardrails — on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Landing zones · IAM & SSO · Terraform · VPC design

02

Platform Engineering & DevOps

The machinery your team ships on: Kubernetes — managed or self-hosted — GitOps delivery, CI/CD pipelines, and observability that tells you the truth at 3 a.m.

Kubernetes · ArgoCD · GitLab CI · Prometheus & Grafana

03

Infrastructure & Architecture Reviews

A fixed-scope, senior-led review of your cloud or hybrid estate — architecture, reliability, security, cost — ending in a prioritized roadmap, not a hundred-page PDF.

Fixed scope · Well-Architected aligned · Prioritized roadmap

04

Security & Compliance Engineering

Our deepest practice. Hardening across cloud and on-premises, security testing wired into your pipelines, vulnerability management that actually shrinks the backlog, incident playbooks, and ISO 27001 / SOC 2 evidence as code.

Secure SDLC · Vulnerability management · Incident readiness · ISO 27001 · SOC 2

05

Cost & Capacity Optimization

Cloud bills explained and reduced — right-sizing, commitments, architecture fixes — and honest math on when running it yourself beats renting it.

FinOps · Right-sizing · Cloud vs. on-prem economics

06

Migrations & Hybrid Cloud

Workloads moved into the cloud, out of it, or split across both — including the edge and on-premises footprints most cloud agencies will not touch.

Cloud migration · Hybrid & edge · Repatriation

Where we work

Cloud-native, not cloud-only.

Most agencies stop at the hyperscaler console. We are equally at home in your own data center — and we will tell you, honestly, which workloads belong where.

01 AWS · GCP · Azure

In the cloud

Greenfield landing zones, or a rescue mission on an account that grew organically. Built as code, hardened by default, and cheap to run.

02 Private cloud · Hybrid · Edge

On your premises

Not everything belongs in someone else’s data center. We design, build, and run private and hybrid infrastructure — for data gravity, latency, cost, or control.

Our signature engagement

An engineer inside your team.

Any of the six as a project. All of them as your team. A senior engineer embeds with you — in your standups, your repos, your on-call — builds the platform and security practice you are missing, and transfers it to your people as they go.

01

Assess

We read the estate end to end, talk to the people who carry it, and agree the outcomes that matter — before touching anything.

02

Build

We work inside your repos, tickets, and standups, shipping the machinery: pipelines, clusters, hardening, playbooks, evidence.

03

Hand over

Documentation in your wiki, runbooks in your repos. Your team operates everything; we scale back to where you actually need us.

How we work

01

Senior hands only

The engineer you meet in the intro call is the engineer in your repos. No bait-and-switch, no juniors learning on your invoice.

02

Machinery, not slideware

Every engagement ends with something running: pipelines, clusters, playbooks, dashboards. Advice is the by-product.

03

Everything as code

Infrastructure, policies, evidence — versioned in your repositories, owned by your team, useful long after we leave.

04

Built to hand over

We measure success by how little you need us afterwards. Documentation lives in your wiki, not our drive.

Who we are

An independent engineering practice in Berlin — founder-led, deliberately small, fluent across cloud platforms, Kubernetes, and security engineering.
