Platform Engineering

We provide platform engineers to design, develop and run the cloud infrastructure to support your business-critical applications. We deliver Infrastructure as Code (IAC) to prevent software failures and operational errors. We work as an integral part of your platform engineering team.

Raqu engineers provide your developers with a self-service portal and libraries of IAC code to provision production-grade, infrastructure templates called BasePlates™.
A BasePlate™ provides a foundation for a specific application containing pre-defined functionality, including Service Scheduling, Service Creation and Discovery, Security and Observability.

Operational Support

Developers can provision as many copies of a BasePlate as they require to support Development, Test and Production environments. We use Infrastructure as Code exclusively to control and prevent unmanaged changes to Baseplates. Each Baseplate incorporates best practice for its component software products and the underlying cloud service provider.

This approach enables your teams to work with a consistent set of standards for both development and production. We train and support your application development teams with modern DevOps practices. We monitor your live, production platforms to ensure that your applications are running as expected.

Relevant Technology

BasePlates are built using a variety of tools such as Kubernetes, Nomad, Istio, Consul, Vault, Traefik, AWS, GCP which allows us to support many typical patterns for system design. A BasePlate incorporates years of operational platform development experience, eliminates human error and can be running live in days not months. We develop extensions to BasePlates to support specific components which you require. Examples include databases, secrets management tools, message brokers and observability tools.
