What exactly does Krafteq mean by DevOps complexity?

DevOps complexity arises when multi-cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, observability, and compliance requirements grow faster than the team's competency. The result: slow releases, security gaps, and uncontrolled costs. We make this complexity manageable.

How quickly will we see initial results?

Typically within 14 days. Our approach starts with quick wins like pipeline acceleration, cloud cost reduction, or closing critical security vulnerabilities. This delivers immediately measurable improvements while we build the sustainable solution in parallel.

Do we have to commit long-term?

No. You can start with an IT audit as a low-risk entry point. Then you decide whether a stabilization sprint, a project, or a managed service makes sense. Each phase delivers standalone results.

Do you also support EU-based cloud alternatives?

Yes. In addition to AWS, Azure, and GCP, we work with Hetzner, OVHcloud, IONOS, and Exoscale. For companies with digital sovereignty requirements, EU-based infrastructure is often the strategically right choice.

How do you prepare us for the EU Cyber Resilience Act?

We integrate SBOM generation, container scanning with Trivy, and vulnerability management directly into your CI/CD pipeline. Beyond that, we document processes so they meet audit requirements. The EU CRA takes effect in September 2026. Preparing now saves effort later.

Which technologies do you use?

Our core competency covers Kubernetes, Terraform, Pulumi, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Trivy, and HashiCorp Vault. We choose technologies pragmatically based on your context, not based on hype.

What sets Krafteq apart from large consulting firms?

Large consulting firms have junior staff do the work and deliver slide decks. At Krafteq, exclusively senior engineers with 10+ years of experience bear the responsibility. Junior staff work under their guidance — at no extra cost to you. We take ownership for results, not hours. Production-first means: we work in your production environment, not on presentations.

Can we start with a small engagement?

Yes. An IT audit is the ideal entry point. In 1-2 weeks, you receive a complete assessment with a prioritized roadmap. Then you decide the next step. No risk, full transparency.

Enterprise Solution

Master DevOps & Infrastructure Complexity

Faster releases, stable infrastructure, seamless compliance

Your infrastructure growing faster than your team's expertise? DevOps complexity slows releases, creates security gaps, and drives costs. Krafteq brings experienced SRE and DevOps engineers who stabilize your infrastructure, automate pipelines, and implement compliance requirements. The result: your team delivers faster, more securely, and with full control.

70% Cloud costs reduced

Proven: 70% cloud cost reduction at an enterprise software company (300+ employees). Release cycles shortened from months to days.

ChallengesWhy DevOps complexity is holding your business back

The infrastructure landscape in enterprise organizations grows more complex every year. Multi-cloud strategies, container orchestration, compliance requirements, and AI workloads create a complexity that overwhelms most internal teams. At the same time, pressure to deliver faster and more securely keeps increasing.

Multi-cloud without unified management

Running AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously sounds like flexibility. In practice, it means three different IAM concepts, three billing models, and triple the operational overhead. Without unified governance, you lose track of costs, security, and compliance.

CI/CD pipelines as bottleneck instead of accelerator

Many teams have adopted CI/CD, but their pipelines are fragile, slow, and manually maintained. As a result, releases take hours instead of minutes. Every rollout becomes a risk because nobody fully understands the pipeline code.

Compliance pressure is escalating dramatically

The EU Cyber Resilience Act takes effect in September 2026. At the same time, 48% of security leaders are falling behind on SBOM standards. The gap between requirements and implementation is growing. Cybersecurity investments lead at 42% as the top priority for CIOs and CTOs.

Lack of specialist expertise in the team

DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering require deep specialist knowledge. This knowledge is extremely scarce on the job market. As a result, Kubernetes clusters remain uncontrolled, observability stacks incomplete, and Infrastructure-as-Code projects half-finished.

Uncontrolled cloud costs

28-35% of cloud spending is waste. Without FinOps practices and clear responsibilities, bills grow while actual value stagnates.

Our ApproachProduction-first, not PowerPoint

Krafteq reduces DevOps complexity with experienced engineers who work directly in your production environment. We don't deliver slides with best practices. Instead, our senior engineers take responsibility for concrete results in your system.

Infrastructure under control: unified management across AWS, Azure, GCP, and EU-based alternatives. Automated release pipelines with cycle times under 15 minutes. Compliance as an integral component with container scanning, SBOM generation, and secrets management.

Sustainable competency instead of dependency: we empower your team through pair working, documentation, and knowledge transfer. The goal: your people operate the platform independently. Ownership stays with you.

ProcessFour steps to manageable infrastructure

Our approach follows a clear structure. Each step delivers standalone results, so you see progress at every point and can measure the value.

Analysis and Prioritization (Week 1-2)

We analyze your entire DevOps landscape: CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, observability, security, and operational processes. Then we assess risks and optimization potential. The result is a prioritized roadmap with concrete milestones.

Transparency about the current state and a clear action plan

Stabilization and Quick Wins (Week 2-4)

We address the most urgent bottlenecks first. Typical quick wins: pipeline acceleration, cloud cost reduction through rightsizing, closing critical security vulnerabilities. This delivers measurable results within 14 days.

Immediately noticeable improvements in release speed, costs, or security

Architecture and Automation (Week 3-10)

Our engineers implement sustainable solutions: Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or Pulumi, GitOps deployments with ArgoCD, observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. Security and compliance are integrated directly into the pipeline.

Automated, secure, and observable infrastructure

Transition and Ongoing Operations (Week 9-12)

With our managed service, Krafteq handles ongoing operations. For projects and enablement, we hand over gradually to your team — with incident simulations, documented runbooks, and handover workshops.

Seamless transition to regular operations — internally or through Krafteq
