Launchpad: Greenfield Build & Migration

Kubernetes platform build, from zero to production

For teams that need a Kubernetes platform that doesn't exist yet. We provision the cluster, wire in ingress, TLS, CI/CD and observability, and hand over a platform your team can run, sized to one app or to a multi-region estate.

“I need a Kubernetes cluster that doesn’t exist yet.” New platform, or first-time Kubernetes adoption.

What you get

Deliverables

Stand up a production-ready Kubernetes platform from zero.

  • A managed (EKS, GKE, AKS) or on-prem (kubeadm, RKE2) cluster built for production from day one
  • CI/CD, monitoring and TLS in place before the first workload goes live
  • GitOps, multi-environment namespaces and backup on the Professional tier and above
  • A handover session and documentation so your team owns the platform

Scope

Launchpad tiers, scope and timelines

Each tier has a fixed scope and a stated timeline. We confirm the tier with you on the first call, before any proposal is written.

Essential

Single app or monolith, single environment.

Managed Kubernetes provisioning (EKS, GKE, AKS, or on-prem kubeadm/RKE2), ingress and TLS, basic monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana), a single CI/CD pipeline, containerization, and a handover knowledge-transfer session.

Excludes

Multi-environment setup, service mesh, disaster recovery, compliance reporting.

3–4 weeks.

Request Essential

Professional

Multiple services, multi-environment (dev/stage/prod).

Everything in Essential, plus GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), multi-environment namespace setup, full observability (metrics, logs, and traces), per-service CI/CD, basic backup and disaster recovery, and namespace-level network policies.

Excludes

Cross-region disaster recovery, multi-tenancy isolation, compliance audit trails.

6–9 weeks.

Request Professional

Enterprise

Multi-cluster or multi-region, regulated or multi-tenant workloads.

Everything in Professional, plus multi-cluster and multi-region architecture, multi-tenancy isolation, cross-region high availability and disaster recovery, compliance-ready audit logging, cost governance and autoscaling, and a dedicated architecture review.

10–16+ weeks.

Request Enterprise

Pricing

How it's priced

No open-ended hourly billing. You know the scope and the price before work starts.

Each tier has a defined scope and timeline. We confirm the tier on the first call and quote it before work starts.

Most builds continue into an Operate retainer, so the platform stays patched and monitored after handover.

FAQ

Launchpad: common questions

The questions buyers ask us most often before booking.

Which clouds and distributions do you build on?

Amazon EKS, Google GKE and Azure AKS, or on-prem clusters with kubeadm or RKE2. Past builds include GKE for AI model serving, EKS for a multi-tenant cyber range and an on-prem platform for fintech workloads.

How long does a Kubernetes platform build take?

Three to four weeks for a single app on one environment (Essential), six to nine weeks for multiple services across dev, stage and prod (Professional), and ten to sixteen weeks or more for multi-cluster or regulated platforms (Enterprise).

Do you set up GitOps and observability?

Essential includes Prometheus and Grafana monitoring and a CI/CD pipeline. Professional adds GitOps with Argo CD or Flux and full metrics, logs and traces.

What if we already have a cluster?

Then you probably need Migrate, which moves applications onto your existing cluster, or Secure, if the concern is its security posture.
