Delivery
Git-owned rollout paths
Kubernetes platform engineers
We design, build and run the platform layer around Kubernetes: the delivery paths, secrets, observability and guardrails your teams ship on. Bring us in to build yours, or start on Kupe Cloud, the same platform as a managed service.
What we build
Known defaults from source to runtime.
Git ownedObservableOperable
Team-owned workloads
Apps, alerts and dashboards ship into known platform defaults.
Platform services
The baseline every workload inherits.
Network
Ingress, DNS, certificates
Secrets
Managed config boundaries
Observability
Logs, metrics, dashboards
Identity
RBAC, SSO, workload access
Storage
Classes, snapshots, persistence
Kubernetes foundation
The cluster shape, capacity, and guardrails below it.
Control plane
API, scheduler, controllers
Autoscaling compute
Right-sized capacity lanes
Workload boundaries
Quotas, policy, isolation
Kupe Cloud
All of this, fully assembled and managed.
Kupe Cloud is the platform above, built once and run by us. Your teams get clusters and the Kubernetes APIs they already know; we operate everything underneath.
Explore Kupe Cloud- Clusters created from the console, the CLI or Terraform, registered with Argo CD on creation
- Secrets, ingress, metrics, logs, dashboards and alerting wired in from the first minute
- Full Kubernetes API access, with your own charts, pipelines and tooling unchanged
FAQ
What teams ask us first.
The questions that come up in almost every early conversation.
What kind of teams is this built for?+
Teams that want a stronger platform model without turning every engineer into a full-time platform operator. Usually that means product companies growing into multiple services, environments, and delivery lanes.
Do you only work on Kubernetes?+
Yes. Kubernetes platforms are what we specialise in: the cluster, the platform services around it, and the delivery and operating model on top. That focus is why the defaults are strong and why the platforms we build hold up in production.
Do you offer a managed platform option?+
Yes, in two ways. Kupe Cloud is our own managed Kubernetes platform, with GitOps, secrets and observability already wired in, and we run the platform layer for you. We also build bespoke platforms and either hand them over to your team or run them with you. The engagement model follows what the team actually needs.
Is the platform model fixed?+
No. There is a shape we commonly build, with Argo CD for delivery, Prometheus and Grafana for visibility, and hardened defaults. Every layer can be swapped: a different CNI, an inference capability such as KServe, or a different mix of core services.
Ways to work with us
Build it with us, or start on ours.
Consultancy
Bring us in
We take on the platform layer end to end: cloud foundations, the Kubernetes buildout, GitOps delivery, observability and day-two operations. When it’s built, we hand it over or keep running it with you.
Managed platform
Start on Kupe Cloud
The platform above, already running and looked after by us. See what’s included, then sign up and try it on a real cluster.

Let's Encrypt on Kubernetes with cert-manager
Set up cert-manager and Let's Encrypt on Kubernetes: how ACME issuance works under the hood, staging first, HTTP-01 vs DNS-01, and renewal that keeps up.
