Production-grade data platforms, built and managed for you.
From Airflow pipelines to dbt transformations to cloud infrastructure — we build the data platform your team needs, without the hiring overhead.
What We Build
Every capability below has been proven in production — built, deployed, and battle-tested on real client infrastructure.
Data Pipeline Orchestration
Apache Airflow 3 on Kubernetes with KEDA autoscaling, dynamic task mapping, and Slack alerting.
Data Transformation
dbt models with medallion architecture — staging, intermediate, and marts layers in BigQuery or Snowflake.
Cloud Infrastructure
Terraform-managed Kubernetes clusters on GKE or EKS, multi-account/project cloud architecture, and cost-optimized spot instance autoscaling.
Zero-Trust Security
Tailscale VPN, Workload Identity and IAM Roles for Service Accounts, keyless CI/CD auth — no long-lived credentials anywhere.
CI/CD & DevOps
GitHub Actions pipelines with automated builds, dbt docs generation, and rolling Kubernetes deployments on GKE or EKS.
Documentation & AI Tooling
Starlight docs sites with MCP server integration so your team and AI tools can query platform docs.
How We Deliver
Discovery & Audit
We assess your data sources, existing infrastructure, and business goals.
Architecture & IaC
We design your platform in Terraform — Kubernetes, networking, IAM, storage — all codified.
Pipeline Development
We build your Airflow DAGs, dbt models, and CI/CD pipelines.
Handoff & Support
We deliver full documentation, train your team, and provide ongoing managed support.
