Secure Cloud-Native Delivery.
Built. Operated. Hardened.
For SaaS, AI/ML, fintech, and regulated engineering teams.
Production-grade platforms for engineering teams that ship fast. From infrastructure to container security to software supply chain hardening—we build the system that lets you ship faster and safer.
Built on production-grade cloud-native tooling
How We Deliver Value
From infrastructure to CI/CD to software supply chain security—we handle the entire value chain so your engineering team can focus on building products, not platforms.
Secure Cloud-Native Delivery Platform
Productized end-to-end platform engineering
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform and Ansible for reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure. Multi-cloud ready: Hetzner, Vultr, AWS, Azure.
Kubernetes Cluster Design & Operations
Production-grade clusters with autoscaling, disaster recovery, security hardening, and operational runbooks.
CI/CD Pipelines
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps. Automated testing, builds, and deployments with full observability.
Container Security & SBOM Generation
Vulnerability scanning at build and runtime. SBOM generation, VEX documents, and compliance-ready artifacts.
Image Signing & Provenance
SLSA-aligned supply chain security. Sigstore integration (Cosign, Rekor, Fulcio) for cryptographic image verification.
Deployment Automation
GitOps workflows, blue/green deployments, canary releases, and automated rollbacks with ArgoCD or Flux.
Observability Stack
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo—metrics, logs, traces, and alerting configured for your platform.
Secure Operational Runbooks
Documented incident response procedures, backup/restore processes, and disaster recovery plans.
Software Supply Chain Hardening
Zero-trust pipeline and artifact security
CI/CD Security & Pipeline Hardening
Harden GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps workflows. Enforce branch protections, require signed commits, and audit pipeline access.
VEX/SBOM Workflows
Generate SBOMs for every build. Create VEX documents to document vulnerability status and mitigations.
Image Signing & Verification
Sign container images with Sigstore. Enforce signature verification at runtime using OPA or Kyverno policies.
Secrets Management
HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault. Rotate secrets automatically, never commit to Git.
Runtime Security
Falco for runtime threat detection. Enforce least-privilege containers and restrict syscalls.
Kubernetes Security Policies
OPA Gatekeeper or Kyverno for policy enforcement. Pod Security Standards, NetworkPolicies, and admission control.
Cloud Migration & Infrastructure Modernization
VPS to Kubernetes, Jenkins to modern CI/CD
VPS → Kubernetes Migrations
Containerize legacy applications and migrate to Kubernetes clusters with zero-downtime deployments.
On-Prem → Cloud Transitions
Lift-and-shift or re-architecture from on-premises infrastructure to AWS, Azure, GCP, or cost-effective alternatives like Hetzner and Vultr.
Jenkins → Modern CI/CD Migration
Migrate from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps. Eliminate plugin hell and embrace declarative pipelines.
Infrastructure as Code Adoption
Replace ClickOps with Terraform or OpenTofu. Version-control your infrastructure and enable peer review.
Managed DevSecOps & Platform Operations
We build it, we run it, you ship features
Monthly Vulnerability Management
Continuous scanning and remediation. We triage CVEs, patch systems, and update dependencies on your behalf.
Monitoring & Observability
Production monitoring with business-hours support and critical incident escalation. Dashboards, SLIs, and alerting rules tuned to your workload.
Pipeline Maintenance
Keep CI/CD pipelines up to date with the latest tooling, best practices, and security patches.
Cluster Operations & Patching
Kubernetes upgrades, node patching, certificate rotation, and capacity planning handled by our team.
Incident Support (L1/L2)
First and second-level incident response. We troubleshoot platform issues so your team can focus on features.
Compliance-Ready Documentation
Maintain up-to-date runbooks, architecture diagrams, and compliance artifacts for SOC2, ISO 27001, or GDPR.
Real Platforms, Real Results
From startups to banks—here's how we've built secure, scalable delivery platforms for teams that ship.
Open-Source Company CI Overhaul
The Problem
Running approximately 200 Drone CI jobs per hour for Go microservices across a Hetzner VM fleet. Infrastructure was provisioned manually, CI pipelines lacked security scanning, and container images were unsigned. Scaling was becoming painful, and there was no visibility into supply chain security.
Results
- 40% faster CI pipeline execution through optimization
- 100% of container images now signed and verified
- Zero manual infrastructure provisioning (full IaC adoption)
European Bank Migration to Azure
The Problem
Legacy on-premises infrastructure running critical banking services. Jenkins pipelines were fragile and undocumented. Migration to Azure Cloud required meeting strict regulatory compliance (PSD2, GDPR, local data residency). Team lacked cloud-native expertise and needed a secure, compliant landing zone.
Results
- Successfully migrated 15 critical banking services to Azure with zero downtime
- Achieved PSD2 and GDPR compliance certification
- Reduced Jenkins maintenance overhead by 70%
U.S. Bank Core Banking Exchange Pipeline
The Problem
Building a new core banking transaction exchange interface (NDA-protected details). No existing CI/CD pipeline for this greenfield project. Extremely high compliance requirements (PCI DSS, SOC2, FFIEC). Needed end-to-end pipeline with full audit trails, secrets management, and deployment automation for a highly sensitive transactional system.
Results
- Delivered production-ready pipeline meeting all PCI DSS and FFIEC requirements
- Zero security findings during external audit
- Deployment time reduced from days (manual) to minutes (automated)
Fiber Monitoring Startup Kubernetes Platform
The Problem
Early-stage startup building a monitoring platform for dark fiber networks. Development environment pipelines needed for Go backend services and TypeScript frontend. Required Kubernetes cluster on Vultr for cost efficiency. Team lacked DevOps expertise and needed a production-ready platform quickly to focus on product development.
Results
- Production-ready Kubernetes platform delivered in 6 weeks
- Dev team able to deploy 10+ times per day with confidence
- 60% cost savings vs. AWS EKS
AI Startup GPU Kubernetes Platform
The Problem
AI startup needed production Kubernetes infrastructure on Vultr with managed GPU nodes for machine learning workloads. Existing PHP application needed containerization and modern CI/CD. No security scanning or image signing in place. Required fast iteration for AI model training and deployment.
Results
- Production Kubernetes platform with GPU support live in 5 weeks
- PHP application modernized and containerized
- CI/CD pipelines reduced deployment time from hours to minutes

Book Your Architecture ReviewHow We Work
We own the entire value chain—from infrastructure to operations. Engineer-to-engineer, no fluff, no hand-waving.
Security Baked In, Not Bolted On
From image signing to secrets rotation to runtime policies—we build security into the foundation. Compliance and hardening aren't afterthoughts.
Everything as Code
Infrastructure, pipelines, policies, runbooks—all version-controlled and peer-reviewed. No ClickOps, no tribal knowledge, no configuration drift.
Build It, Run It, Own It
We design your platform, deploy it, monitor it, patch it, and respond to incidents. Not consultants who vanish—long-term operational partners.
Built by engineers
who've been on-call
We're not a consulting firm. We're platform engineers who got tired of seeing SaaS teams struggle with infrastructure, security debt, and operational chaos.
catdev exists to handle the entire platform stack—from Terraform to Kubernetes to supply chain security—so engineering teams can focus on building products, not fighting infrastructure.
Who we work with:
- CTOs who need platform expertise without hiring a full team
- Engineering leaders lacking DevOps/DevSecOps capability
- SaaS companies outgrowing their current infrastructure
- Startups that need production-grade systems from day one
- Companies facing regulatory compliance (SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS)
What makes us different:
Senior Engineers, Not Juniors
10+ years building production systems. We've operated platforms at scale, responded to 3 AM incidents, and learned the hard lessons.
Technical Depth, No Consulting Speak
We speak in PRs, SLOs, and runbooks—not PowerPoints. Honest about what works, what doesn't, and why.
We Run What We Build
Not consulting theater. We deploy your platform, monitor it, patch it, and wake up when it breaks. Skin in the game.
