Discover the integrated approach of DevOps and Platform Engineering that empowers your development team. For faster, more reliable, and sustainable releases.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT
What you need

Transform your way of developing.

No more unsustainable processes and overloaded developers.

DevOps consulting alone is not enough. The DevOps philosophy unites development and operations and evolves company culture. Platform Engineering concretizes this approach at scale (discover the differences with DevOps).

At SparkFabrik we don’t just implement DevOps: we build tailor-made Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) that empower development teams, self-service platforms that provide the tools, pipelines, and infrastructure needed to build, release, and operate software autonomously, dramatically improving the Developer Experience (DevExp).

Your applications must be able to evolve constantly, seamlessly. You need a functional infrastructure perfectly aligned with your processes.

  • Faster releases

    Thanks to optimized CI/CD pipelines, advanced automation, and GitOps practices, internal platforms ensure more frequent, fast, and secure software releases. Standardization reduces errors and increases the reliability of the entire delivery process.

  • No more bottlenecks

    IDPs offer developers self-service paths (golden paths) for build, test, and deployment. This approach improves Developer Experience and reduces cognitive load on teams, freeing up time and allowing focus on value creation.

  • Security and compliance

    Platform Engineering, through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and centralized policies, allows managing infrastructure and applications in a scalable, secure, and compliant way. The platform becomes the single point for applying security and governance standards.

What we can do for you

We guide you through a transformation journey that aligns people, processes, and technologies.

We create for you an environment where innovation is faster, releases are more secure, and developers are more productive and satisfied.

The result? Achieve your business goals faster: increase productivity, accelerate time to market, strengthen security and resilience, and reduce costs.
