ROI

Equivalent to 60 engineer-years reclaimed annually.

Client overview

A Series D scale-up's engineering velocity was capped by manual provisioning and duplicated effort across teams. Setup for a new service took weeks.

Business challenge

Build an internal developer platform that 900 engineers would actually adopt, without creating a bottleneck team or slowing autonomy.

Approach

We built paved-road templates, self-service provisioning, and a golden-path catalog, governed by a thin platform team. Adoption was voluntary and metric-driven, with feedback loops into the roadmap.

Business impact

Engineering velocity scaled with headcount, incidents fell, and the platform team stayed small. Developer satisfaction rose measurably in internal surveys.

Let's talk about the decision that decides the next decade.

If the problem matters enough to warrant experienced leaders, it matters enough to start the conversation.
