Case studies
Example engagements.
Each scenario shows the challenge, our approach, the services involved and how success is measured.
Cloud Native · Example engagement
Moving a SaaS platform to GKE without a big-bang cutover
B2B SaaS scale-up · 40 engineers · VM-based monolith
A growing SaaS product had outgrown hand-managed VMs. Releases were slow, scaling was manual and every change touched the whole application.

Shift-left security for a regulated fintech release pipeline
Payments company · audit-driven · manual security reviews
Security reviews happened at the end of each release, findings arrived late and audit evidence was rebuilt by hand every quarter.
