Platform Engineering refers to the process of designing, developing and maintaining the underlying infrastructure and tools that enable the smooth operation of software applications. It focuses on creating scalable, reliable, and efficient platforms that support the development, deployment, and management of applications across different environments.
Platform Engineering combines skills from Software Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, and DevOps to accelerate software application and service delivery. The primary goal is to enhance agility and flexibility in response to changing business needs, providing a solid foundation for development teams. This approach helps organizations innovate faster and stay ahead of the competition.
DevOps
DevOps integrates software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to foster collaboration, automation, and continuous delivery. It aims to shorten development cycles, increase deployment frequency, and ensure more reliable software releases through close collaboration between development and operations teams. DevOps enhances organizational performance, aligns functional technology roles, and improves overall effectiveness.

Our Approach
Cloud-Native Computing
We advocate for Cloud-Native Computing, which leverages cloud technology to build and run scalable applications in dynamic environments like public, private, and hybrid clouds. Our architectural style frequently employs technologies such as containers, microservices, serverless functions, and immutable infrastructure deployed via declarative code.
Anti-Fragile Systems
We believe in adopting anti-fragile concepts in cloud computing. Unlike fault-tolerant systems, which can lead to complexity and longer delivery cycles, anti-fragile systems embrace failure and resilience. This approach helps us build systems that can withstand and evolve from failures, improving overall robustness.
Chaos Engineering
Recognizing that faults are inevitable, we practice Chaos Engineering—injecting faults into systems before they occur naturally. This proactive approach helps us identify and address potential failure scenarios, ensuring that our systems are resilient and can handle unforeseen issues before they affect users.
GitOps
We implement GitOps to manage code-based infrastructure and operational procedures. GitOps is an evolution of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) that uses Git as the single source of truth for system architecture. Through Git pull requests, we validate and deploy infrastructure changes automatically. This method ensures that infrastructure is consistently synchronized with the repository’s state, facilitating seamless and efficient management.
