PLATFORM ENGINEERING

{{Internal platforms that make your teams faster}}

We build self-service platforms with standardised building blocks to WAF and CAF that development teams use on their own like a well-stocked toolbox. Manual effort shrinks noticeably, and security and standards ride along automatically.

THE SERVICE

Self-service platforms for development teams

We build self-service platforms with standardised building blocks to WAF and CAF, so teams work {{on their own}} while security and standards ride along automatically.

General
Deep dive
1

Developer platform

Teams draw environments and building blocks themselves from one central platform.

Internal developer platform, self-service portal, Backstage, service catalogue, API-first, abstraction

2

Standard building blocks

Reusable building blocks provide proven routes for recurring tasks.

Golden paths, modules, templates, blueprints, WAF, CAF

3

Automation

Environments come up automatically, reproducibly and without manual single steps.

IaC, Terraform, GitOps, pipelines, provisioning, automation

4

Security built in

Security and standards are anchored in the building blocks and ride along automatically.

Policy-as-code, guardrails, RBAC, compliance by default, secure baselines, tagging

5

Developer experience

Less manual effort lets teams deliver faster and with more focus.

Golden path, documentation, onboarding, CLI, self-service, feedback loops

6

Operation & evolution

We run the platform as a product and keep developing it onward.

Platform as a product, versioning, monitoring, SLOs, roadmap, team topologies

OUR APPROACH

Platform engineering in five steps

1

Target picture

We capture what your development teams need.

1

Target picture

We capture the recurring tasks of your development teams plus your existing environments and tools. From that we derive a target picture for the self-service platform.

You receive an agreed platform concept with the first golden paths. This target picture determines which standard building blocks we build first.

Building blocks

We build standardised, reusable building blocks.

2

Building blocks

We develop reusable modules, templates and blueprints as golden paths for recurring tasks. Their architecture we align strictly to the Well-Architected Framework and Cloud Adoption Framework.

Teams receive reviewed building blocks that deliver dependable, comparable results. These building blocks we provide through a central platform in the next step.

Platform

Teams draw environments themselves through a platform.

3

Platform

We provide the building blocks through an internal developer platform with a self-service portal and service catalogue. Environments come up automatically and reproducibly through IaC, GitOps and pipelines.

Your teams provision the resources they need themselves instead of waiting for manual delivery. Into this platform we then build security and standards firmly.

Safeguarding

Security and standards are anchored in the building blocks.

4

Safeguarding

We anchor policy-as-code, guardrails, RBAC and secure baselines firmly in the building blocks. Every environment drawn through self-service takes these guardrails on from the start.

Teams work on their own and yet reviewed, and deviations become visible instead of going unnoticed. The safeguarded platform we then run as a lasting product.

Guardrails
Compliance by default
Secure baselines
5

Operation

We run the platform onward as a product.

5

Operation

We run the platform as a product with versioning, monitoring and SLOs and tend a roadmap. Feedback from the teams feeds into the evolution in a structured way.

Your platform stays dependable, current and grows with what your teams need. That way the developer experience keeps improving.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why {{thinformatics}}

Less friction

Self-service replaces tickets and waiting in the development day.

Standard to WAF and CAF

Building blocks follow proven frameworks instead of one-offs.

Security rides along

Guardrails and standards are built firmly into every delivery.

Built as code

Infrastructure as code and pipelines make the platform reproducible.

Guided by real need

The platform grows along the teams' genuine needs.

Operation thought through

Monitoring and life cycle secure lasting operation.

Frequently asked {{questions}}

FAQ

Answers to the questions we are asked most often about platform engineering.

What is a self-service platform in platform engineering?
A self-service platform provides standardised building blocks that development teams use on their own like a well-stocked toolbox. Instead of setting every environment up by hand, teams draw on prepared, reviewed components and provision the resources they need themselves. Manual effort therefore falls noticeably, results become more consistent, and your teams work faster because recurring tasks already exist as dependable building blocks.
What role do WAF and CAF play in platform engineering?
The Well-Architected Framework (WAF) and Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) form the substantive basis for the platform's standardised building blocks. They provide proven guardrails for architecture, security and operation, and we align the building blocks with them. That produces environments which follow well-considered requirements from the start rather than being adjusted individually afterwards. Team independence and dependable quality therefore come together, without every team having to take founding decisions anew.
How do development teams benefit from the platform?
Development teams benefit because they draw the environments and resources they need themselves through prepared building blocks, instead of waiting for manual delivery. The effort for recurring tasks shrinks noticeably, and teams concentrate more on their actual development work. Because the building blocks are standardised and reviewed, results stay dependable and comparable. Your teams therefore gain pace and room to act, without losing sight of security and standards.
How do security and standards ride along automatically?
Security and standards ride along automatically because they are built firmly into the platform's building blocks. Every environment drawn through self-service takes the guardrails on from the start, so teams work securely without implementing every requirement by hand. Deviations become visible rather than going unnoticed, and changes stay traceable. The platform therefore stays consistent, reviewed and dependably safeguarded despite independent use.
How does platform engineering fit into operations?
We build on your existing environments and processes and develop the platform onward together with your teams. Roles, ownership and operational routes we align so that delivery, use and evolution of the building blocks mesh. Existing tools we bring in where it makes sense. Concrete security and compliance requirements we examine individually in each context, without making blanket promises.
