Cloud & Platform Engineering
A platform that helps your teams deliver.
We create the technical foundation for development and operation: with clear cloud structures, automated provisioning and an operating model that fits your organization. We include existing data centers and hybrid environments.
Service modules
What we do for you
Cloud Strategy & Target Architecture
We evaluate applications, dependencies and requirements for availability, data storage and costs. This results in a target image for the cloud, data center or a sensible combination.
A prioritized roadmap with reasoned architecture decisions.
Landing Zones & Governance
We structure accounts, networks, identities, and policies. Common foundations for access, logging, and resource management provide an understandable framework for application teams.
A documented platform base with clear responsibilities.
Containers & Kubernetes
We design and integrate container platforms including networking, storage, identities, and secret management. Updates, backup, and recovery are considered operational tasks.
A container environment prepared for the agreed purpose.
Infrastructure as Code & GitOps
Infrastructure and configuration are versioned, tested and made available repeatably. Approvals and traceable changes facilitate collaboration and reduce manual individual configurations.
Reusable modules and a regulated change process.
Development Platform & Delivery
We connect templates, build pipelines, and deployment paths into a usable offering for development teams. Standards are designed so that projects can actually use them in everyday life.
A proven path from code change to deployment.
Observability, Resilience & Costs
We make the condition, capacity utilisation and costs visible. Sensible alarms, documented restart routes and regular capacity assessments support predictable operation.
Dashboards, operational processes and a traceable cost structure.
Application examples
Cloud & Platform Engineering Use Cases
Typical initial situations – together we adapt the scope and procedure to your project.
The first regulated cloud entry
A team needs new environments, while IT and security need to maintain control over access and costs. A jointly designed landing zone creates the foundation.
One platform for multiple product teams
Each team operates its own deployment scripts. We standardize recurring steps and create templates without ignoring technical differences between the applications.
A migration with manageable risk
An application is to change the environment. We check data paths and dependencies, test a pilot operation and plan switchover as well as fallback possibilities.
Collaboration
From the first question to the handover
Take stock
Applications, network paths, operational experience and costs form the starting point.
Design the platform base
We define safety boundaries, standards and responsibilities together.
Test with a workload
A specific use case examines deployment, operation, and recovery.
Step-by-step expansion
Proven building blocks are documented and transferred to other teams and environments.
Your result
You can continue working with it
- Target architecture and migration order
- Versioned infrastructure and documented standards
- Operations and Recovery Operations
- Transparency about platform responsibility and costs
SYNEDAT PLATFORM
Platform experience for your project
We use these selected tools in SYNEDAT PLATFORM or its delivery processes. We adapt suitable practices to your project and align their integration with your existing systems.
Deployment and platform automation
Kubernetes · Azure Kubernetes Service · Helm · Argo CD · Terraform
Versioned configuration and declarative deployment connect infrastructure and applications. GitOps makes proposed changes reviewable and the desired state explicit. Operational transitions and recovery procedures are still planned for the specific application.
Repeatable changes and clearer responsibility boundaries.
Identities, secrets and policies
Keycloak · OpenBao · External Secrets · Kyverno
Sign-in, technical secrets and platform policies serve different purposes. We connect them with roles, limited permissions and documented exceptions. The selected tools form part of a common access and operating model.
Controlled access and more consistent platform policies.
Observability and operations
Prometheus · Grafana · Alloy · Loki · Tempo
Metrics, logs and traces provide different views of applications and platforms. We organize data sources, dashboards and alert paths around specific operating questions. Retention, sensitive data and costs are considered when planning data collection.
Better incident diagnosis and informed operating decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need Kubernetes for every application?
No. The platform should fit the application, team, and operational effort. Virtual machines or managed services can be a more sensible way to get started.
Can the cloud and your own data center work together?
Yes. In particular, we look at network connections, identities, data flows, and responsibilities. A hybrid model needs clear boundaries and end-to-end operations.
What happens after the platform is built?
We agree on handover, documentation and knowledge transfer. Further support, service hours and responsibilities are tailored separately to your needs.
Your next step
Where is your platform slowing down today?
Let us know if you're looking to improve a cloud entry, a migration, or an existing platform. From that, we'll develop a manageable first step.
