Infrastructure & DevOps
Platform Engineering. $99/hr.
Internal developer platforms that give your engineers self-service superpowers — Backstage portals, golden paths, and self-service environments that eliminate infra tickets.
What We Deliver
Developer Portal
Backstage-based service catalog — every service, API, pipeline, and runbook discoverable in one place with ownership and documentation.

Self-Service Environments
Developers spin up full environments in minutes through a portal — no tickets, no waiting, proper isolation and automatic cleanup.

Who This Is For
Developers spend more time on infra tickets than writing code — waiting days for environments, permissions, and databases
Service onboarding takes weeks — new microservices need manual repo setup, CI/CD config, monitoring, and deployment
Every team reinvents deployment — 15 teams with 15 different ways to build, test, and deploy their services
Nobody can help each other debug — no service catalog, no ownership info, no documentation on how anything works

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does platform engineering consulting cost?
Our standard rate is $99/hr for senior platform engineers. Urgent or after-hours work is $149/hr. No retainers or long-term commitments — scale up or down as your platform evolves.
When should a company invest in platform engineering?
When you have 5+ engineering teams and developers are spending more than 30% of their time on infrastructure tasks. The ROI is clear: self-service reduces ticket queues, golden paths speed up onboarding, and shared tooling eliminates duplication across teams.
Do we need Backstage specifically?
Backstage is the most mature open-source developer portal, but it’s not the only option. Port and Humanitec are strong alternatives with less setup overhead. We evaluate your needs and recommend the best fit — sometimes a well-designed internal CLI is more impactful than a portal.
How long does it take to build an internal developer platform?
An MVP with service catalog, golden paths, and self-service environments takes 4-8 weeks. From there, you iterate based on developer feedback. The key is shipping value incrementally — not building the perfect platform in isolation for 6 months.
