Platform Engineering

Turn engineering complexity into developer simplicity.

We build Internal Developer Platforms that turn infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and security into a self-service experience developers actually enjoy using.

FRICTION POINTS

Every sprint feels harder than it should.

Developer friction rarely shows up in a dashboard. It shows up in delayed releases, ticket queues, onboarding bottlenecks, context switching, and talented engineers spending more time navigating systems than building products.

challenge

Onboarding takes weeks instead of days

How we Help

New engineers should be deploying code, not hunting for documentation, permissions & setup instructions.

challenge

Infrastructure tickets have become a bottleneck

How we Help

Every environment request, database change, or deployment dependency creates another queue. Neither developers nor platform teams can scale this way.

challenge

Too many tools. Too many workflows.

How we Help

Different teams using different pipelines, dashboards, and deployment processes create unnecessary cognitive load.

challenge

Constant context switching slows everyone down

How we Help

Every interruption, approval process, and workflow inconsistency pulls developers away from building products.

challenge

Ai is moving faster than your delivery process

How we Help

AI can generate code faster than most organizations can review, deploy, and operate it.
The bottleneck is no longer development. It’s the platform.

DIAGNOSIS

We map the developer journey first

Before recommending tools, portals, or workflows, we study how developers actually work.
We analyze onboarding, self-service capabilities, delivery workflows, platform adoption, and developer experience metrics to identify where friction exists today.

What we assess

Developer workflows

Map how developers build, deploy, and operate software across the delivery lifecycle.

Tool sprawl & complexity

Identify fragmented tooling, redundant platforms, and workflow bottlenecks.

Self-service coverage

Measure how much developers can accomplish without platform team intervention.

Platform team workload

Analyze support burden, operational overhead, and recurring requests.

Onboarding speed

Evaluate how quickly new engineers become productive contributors.

DORA metrics

Assess delivery performance, deployment frequency, and operational efficiency.

Developer satisfaction

Understand adoption, usability, and friction across the developer experience.

Internal Developer Platform roadmap

OUR PLAYBOOK

Strategy. Golden Paths. Portal. Metrics.

Platform engineering succeeds when strategy, automation, self-service, and metrics align around a single goal: improving developer productivity.

001

Platform Strategy

Define team responsibilities, ownership boundaries, and operating models using Team Topologies principles.
002

Golden Paths

Create opinionated templates with CI/CD, security, observability, and deployment workflows built in.
003

Developer Portal

Provide self-service access to infrastructure, environments, documentation, and services through a unified experience.
004

Measure Adoption

Track DORA metrics, developer satisfaction, platform adoption, and productivity improvements.

Why Techanek

Built for the real world. 
Not the demo environment.

The goal isn’t to produce recommendations. It’s to leave your organization stronger than we found it.

Platform as a product

Success is measured by adoption, satisfaction, and developer outcomes.

The thinnest viable platform

Start small. Deliver value quickly. Expand based on real usage.

Honest backstage assessments

Backstage isn't always the answer. We recommend what fits.

Adoption measured from day one

Platform success should never be based on assumptions.

Internal Developer Platforms

Your best engineers should be building products. Not navigating tooling.

How many engineers do we need before Platform Engineering makes sense?

Platform Engineering typically starts delivering significant value once you have 20-30 engineers working across multiple teams. At this stage, tool sprawl, inconsistent workflows, and growing infrastructure dependencies begin creating measurable delivery friction.

For smaller teams, a shared DevOps model is often sufficient. For organizations with 50+ engineers, Platform Engineering usually shifts from a nice-to-have to a necessity.

Yes. This is one of the most common challenges we see. 


Backstage adoption usually fails because developers stop trusting the catalog, workflows don’t match how teams actually work, or nobody owns platform adoption as a product.

We identify the root cause, improve adoption where possible, and provide an honest recommendation if another platform would be a better fit.

A Golden Path is a pre-configured workflow that embeds your organization’s best practices into a simple self-service experience.

For example, a developer can create a new service and automatically receive a repository, CI/CD pipeline, security scanning, monitoring, Kubernetes configuration, and documentation template from a single request.

It makes the best way to build software the easiest way to build software.

Most teams see measurable improvements within 6-12 weeks of launching an MVP platform.

Onboarding becomes faster, infrastructure ticket volume decreases, and self-service adoption begins to grow. Broader improvements across DORA metrics typically emerge within 3-6 months as teams adopt new workflows.

Platform maturity is a journey, but value should be visible early.

Platform Engineering connects your existing tools into a unified developer experience.

Kubernetes becomes self-service infrastructure. CI/CD pipelines become standardized Golden Paths. Security and compliance controls become automated defaults rather than manual checks.

The result is greater consistency, faster onboarding, and higher adoption of the investments you’ve already made.
