Platform Foundation Build

6 – 9 months · Blueprint → Forge → Sustain

Most platform teams inherit fragmented infrastructure: hand-written Terraform, undocumented pipelines, and tribal knowledge. This engagement replaces that with a production-grade, GitOps-governed foundation your team can own and extend.

How the engagement runs

Three Foundations Framework phases. Each closes with exit artifacts before the next begins.

1

Blueprint

Architecture decisions documented as ADRs. Module library designed. GitOps strategy agreed.

2

Forge

Terraform/Crossplane build. Kubernetes cluster hardening. CI/CD pipeline implementation. Policy-as-code enforcement.

3

Sustain

Drift detection. On-call runbook. Cost visibility dashboard. Knowledge transfer to your team.

Exit artifacts

  • Production-ready IaC module library (Terraform or Crossplane)
  • GitOps-driven CI/CD pipeline with environment promotion
  • Policy-as-code enforcement with audit trail
  • Runbook library and on-call escalation paths
  • Cost visibility dashboard with per-team breakdown
  • Architecture Decision Records for every key choice

We are tool-agnostic. Every technology choice is documented as an ADR with explicit trade-off reasoning.
