The engineering team.
Specialised in cloud-native platforms — from architecture to operations. Small enough to be direct, focused enough to deliver depth.
Bern-based, with open-source DNA and Swiss roots.

Platforms that hold.
We build what we recommend. We operate what we build. We teach what we know.
Six principles — practiced daily.
Direct communication
No account layer, no translation loss. Whoever builds it, talks to you.
Sparring as equals
We challenge requirements before we implement them — even when it's uncomfortable.
Architecture decides
Tooling follows architecture — not the other way around.
Decisions documented
ADRs over gut feeling. Traceable, even two years later.
Enablement always included
What we build, your team should be able to carry on themselves.
Open where possible
Open source as the default, in-house development only where it makes sense.
Five properties that count.
Scalability
Security
Extensibility
Automation
Portability
What we hold ourselves to.
Pragmatism
What works over what impresses.
Depth
Fewer topics, but actually understood.
Ownership
Who takes it on, sees it through.
Openness
Open source, shared knowledge, transparent decisions.
Reliability
What we promise, we deliver — even when it's uncomfortable.
Where we are active
Conferences, meetups, open-source maintainership — part of a lively Swiss cloud-native ecosystem.
