At a US transportation services company, production deployments per day rose about 3x.

Status: Ongoing, phase 1 delivered
A transportation services company with 150+ active repositories and multi-cluster Kubernetes needs the path from code to production to work the same way for every team: a developer portal with templates, infrastructure requested by self-service, shared pipelines and one observability stack. Clouditive builds that platform. This page describes one such engagement, a team of 6 since December 2025.
The client is a US transportation services company, running on Kubernetes on a major cloud. The team: a lead and architect, 2 platform engineers, a DevOps engineer, an SRE and a scrum master.
Logistics and transportation software teams share this problem: many services, many repositories, and releases that depend on how consistent the platform is. The figures below are one client's, not a promise.
Everything in the package, in the order it lands. The price and the duration stay the same.
Step 1: The platform
Set up and build your internal developer platform.
Step 2: Your services
Connect the services you choose in the kickoff to it.
Step 3: Views
Basic views on top of it, for example the service and API catalog, deploy status, cost, image vulnerabilities and CI health, as in MPI's portal.

It builds and runs the platform under many services: portal, pipelines, infrastructure and observability. Clouditive covers platform engineering, DevOps and SRE with LATAM engineers working in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

We do not claim that. The figure is organization-wide and the client's team and tooling changed in the same period. We report it as the organization we support.
No. We publish deployments per day, test coverage and quality gate results, and the platform counts above.
Your internal developer platform set up, the services you choose connected, and basic views on top. USD 5,000, 2 weeks, fixed price.
No. We work in your business hours and leave alerts and runbooks so your on-call can resolve incidents.

IDP Foundations is USD 5,000 for 2 weeks. Hourly rates are USD 30–60 by seniority and are on the pricing page.
IDP Foundations is USD 5,000, fixed price, 2 weeks. We set up and build your internal developer platform, connect the services you choose at kickoff, and add basic views such as the service and API catalog, deploy status, cost, image vulnerabilities and CI health. For a team like the one in the case, engineers cost USD 30–60 an hour by seniority, with a 6-month minimum.
Architect consulting is USD 4,480 a month for 20 hours a week if you need design before building.
A Backstage portal gives teams 11 self-service templates and a catalog of about 66 repositories and 73 components. Crossplane lets teams request infrastructure through GitOps: 54 managed resources today, across all three clusters.
Release engineering moved repositories onto shared pipelines and one promotion model, step by step:
OpenTelemetry collectors run on all clusters and feed a central Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope and Grafana stack with single sign-on. Dashboards went from 18 to 135, including per-service and DORA dashboards. Observability spend is about USD 5,000 a month lower.
These come from the client's own engineering metrics for the organization we support, not for our team alone. Its headcount and AI tooling changed in the same period, so we do not claim them as ours.
We reply to every request within 1 business day. We sign an NDA before the call if you ask.
