AI-native engineering · UK

Autonomous operations. Uncompromising engineering.

We build AI agents that triage incidents, review infrastructure changes and heal Kubernetes clusters — on top of the GitOps, observability and SRE foundations that make autonomy safe.

Standards

Engineered to the standards of global cloud-native leaders

AI and Kubernetes are converging: the cluster is becoming the runtime for models, and models are becoming operators of the cluster. We build for both directions — to the same open standards the best cloud-native teams hold themselves to.

Why

Why AI-native operations need serious engineering

01

Agents need ground truth

An agent is only as good as the signals it reads. We instrument first — Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, eBPF — so every decision is grounded in real telemetry, not guesswork.

02

Every action goes through Git

Agents don't kubectl apply into the dark. They open pull requests, ArgoCD reconciles them, and every change is reviewable, revertible and audited.

03

Autonomy is earned, not switched on

We raise autonomy one level at a time — suggest, approve, act within guardrails — gated by Kyverno/OPA policies and SLO burn rates.

04

Faster recovery, fewer pages

Machines handle the 3 a.m. triage. Your engineers handle the architecture. The goal is lower MTTR and on-call your team can live with.

Simulation · reference scenario, not a customer engagement

A memory leak on EKS, resolved in 45 seconds

A routine deploy introduces an unbounded cache. Memory climbs, pods start getting OOMKilled, and the checkout SLO begins to burn. Here is what our agent does — step by step.

The agent mitigated. A human fixes the root cause. That's the division of labour we design for.

Find out how close you are to autonomous operations

The AI & Infrastructure Assessment is a fixed-scope, two-week review of your platform, observability, delivery pipeline and AI-readiness. You get a written report, a maturity score from L0 to L4, and a prioritised 90-day roadmap.
