# Cloud Native Engineering

Don't have the time or the energy to deal with cloud native technologies? As passionate engineers, we're happy to take that off your plate so you can focus on what you love with peace of mind. Cloud Engineering includes:

- Container and Kubernetes engineering support
- Cloud Native Software Engineering
- Designing and implementing delivery pipelines
- Automation and GitOps
- Implementation and integration of observability aspects

## We build the road while you hit the gas

Technology should empower you, not slow you down. But the reality in the Cloud Native universe often looks different: complex YAML files, stubborn clusters, and pipelines that stall exactly when things get critical.

**That’s where we come in.** As passionate engineers, we handle the "heavy lifting." We build, automate, and optimize your infrastructure and applications so you can focus on your core business with peace of mind.

### Our Workbench: What we implement for you

We don't just deliver concepts; we provide production-ready code and automated systems.

### How we work: Engineering at eye level

We are not a "black box" service provider. We see ourselves as an extension of your team.

* **Embedded Engineering:** We integrate into your existing sprints and workflows. We are where the work happens – in Slack, Jira, or directly in the code review.
* **Pragmatism over Dogmatism:** We choose the tools that solve your problem, not the ones currently being hyped the loudest on social media.
* **Quality through Standards:** We rely on proven Cloud Native principles (CNCF standards) to ensure your solution remains maintainable and independent five years from now.

### Why you should leave the engineering to us

* **Save Time:** While we dig through the depths of Kubernetes documentation, you develop features that make your customers happy.
* **Nerves of Steel:** We love the challenges that keep you up at night – from complex ingress controllers to transient network errors.
* **Knowledge Transfer Included:** We don’t build anything in a "quiet little chamber." Your team sees what we do and learns with us every step of the way.

### The Tech Stack

* **Orchestration:** Kubernetes (K8s), K3s, OpenShift
* **Automation:** Terraform, Ansible, Crossplane
* **CI/CD:** GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Flux
* **Observability:** Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry
* **Event Streaming:** Kafka

### Need additional engineering power?

Let’s roll up our sleeves. We support you selectively during bottlenecks or take over the construction of entire platforms.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which technologies do you work with?

Among others Kubernetes, OpenShift and K3s, Terraform, Ansible and Crossplane, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Argo CD and Flux, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo and OpenTelemetry, as well as Kafka. We choose the tools that solve your problem – not the ones with the loudest hype.

### Do you work within our team or deliver a finished product?

Both are possible. We prefer to work embedded in your sprints and tools – in Slack, in Jira or directly in code reviews. But we also take over building entire platforms.

### Can you step in at short notice when we're short on capacity?

That depends on the request. We support you selectively when capacity is tight or long-term as an extension of your team – [just get in touch with us](mailto:hallo@tim-koko.ch).

### Do you have experience with business-critical systems?

Yes. For Centris, we [migrated the Kafka storage during live operations without downtime](https://tim-koko.ch/en/references/centris-kafka-storage-migration/), and for a Swiss bank we rebuilt the [monitoring of a critical market data platform with Prometheus](https://tim-koko.ch/en/references/marktdaten-monitoring-with-prometheus/).

### How do you make sure the solution stays maintainable?

We automate as much as possible and rely on CNCF standards, infrastructure as code and GitOps with Git as the single source of truth. That way your solution remains maintainable and independent of us, even in five years.
