Selection principles
Before we recommend any tool, we run it through five filters. If it doesn't pass, we look for another.
Our methodology
How we turn a tech choice into a reliable platform.
- 01
Evaluation
Bounded prototype, benchmarks, security and cost review. Executive report with recommendation and trade-offs.
- 02
Design
Reference architecture, integration with your stack, operating model, observability and recovery plan.
- 03
Implementation
Implementation as code, pipelines, documentation and tests. Nothing reaches prod without tests and IaC.
- 04
24×7 operation
Monitoring, patching, hardening and continuous improvement. Periodic reviews and benchmarking against industry standards.
Areas of expertise
Each category groups the technologies we use daily on real projects. If something isn't listed, we've probably operated it too — just ask.
Frequently asked questions
What if we use a technology that isn't on the list?
Tell us about it: chances are we've operated it too. The list is the most common, not the full set. If it's truly exotic, we'll be upfront and help you evaluate it.
How do you decide between managed services and open-source?
We compare real TCO: license, infrastructure, operations and engineering cost, and lock-in risk. For a small team, managed usually wins; for a large team or one with regulatory constraints, well-operated open-source is often the better choice.
Do you always recommend the newest technology?
No. We recommend the most appropriate for your case. Sometimes that's the latest option; sometimes it's the one that has been in production for ten years and your team already masters. Hype doesn't pay payroll.
Do you work with non-cloud (on-prem, bare-metal) technologies?
Yes. We operate bare-metal, VMware, Proxmox, OpenStack and on-prem Kubernetes. Often the best architecture is hybrid, and we embrace that without ideology.
Want to talk about your infrastructure?
30 minutes, no strings attached. We audit your setup and give you actionable recommendations.
