We design and build cloud infrastructure — Kubernetes platforms, observability systems, deployment pipelines, and the operational foundations that keep production running. Our work draws on deep experience in Linux, container orchestration, networking, and security, with a focus on systems that are simple enough to operate long after our engagement ends.
Our background includes building bare-metal Kubernetes infrastructure at Microsoft Azure, designing observability systems for distributed clusters at AT&T, and contributing to open-source infrastructure projects. We publish our technical reference material openly at streetfortress.com/knowledge.
We build from proven open source components — Kubernetes, Prometheus, Caddy, PostgreSQL, Fluent Bit — that compose into coherent architectures. No proprietary black boxes. No vendor-specific magic. Your team inherits systems they can understand, troubleshoot, and extend long after our engagement ends. Simplicity isn't about doing less; it's about making every piece intelligible.
Every system we build comes with architecture documentation that your team can actually use — not a PDF that collects dust. We deliver high-level diagrams that clearly delineate network boundaries, services, and security zones. Operational runbooks for day-two tasks. Infrastructure-as-code that serves as living documentation of what's deployed and why. Our goal is a system your team can operate, extend, and troubleshoot without calling us back.
Need experienced hands without the overhead of hiring? Our engineers embed directly into your team, bringing Kubernetes, observability, and cloud infrastructure expertise exactly when and where you need it. We ship production systems, improve your processes, and mentor your engineers — then step back when the work is done. All the capability, none of the commitment.
