Platform Engineering Consultancy
KubeWright is a London-based platform engineering consultancy. We design, build, and operationalise Kubernetes platforms and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) for enterprise engineering teams in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.
Delivered through a Platform Engineering Assessment (2-4 weeks) or Platform Engineering Transformation (3-6 months).
What we do
We help organisations that have already invested in Kubernetes but are now experiencing the second-order problems that emerge at scale - inconsistent cluster architecture, fragmented tooling, operational strain, rising cloud costs, and engineering teams blocked waiting on the platform team.
Our work restructures the platform so it can scale reliably and be operated safely, with self-service workflows that unblock application teams.
Typical workstreams
- Platform architecture redesign and cluster standardisation across AWS or GCP
- GitOps operating model implementation (Argo CD, Flux)
- Internal Developer Platform (IDP) design, including golden paths and service catalogues
- Developer self-service workflows for infrastructure, deployment, and observability
- CI/CD pipeline design, migration, and Kubernetes-backed ephemeral runners
- Platform governance, ownership boundaries, and operating model
- Cost optimisation and workload right-sizing
Outcomes we deliver
- Standardised, well-governed Kubernetes platform across clusters and environments
- Reduced operational burden on the platform team
- Self-service developer workflows that unblock engineering teams
- Documented architecture, runbooks, and operating model
- Measurable improvement in delivery velocity and platform reliability
- Knowledge transfer so your team can own and evolve the platform

Frequently Asked Questions
What is platform engineering?
Platform engineering is the practice of building and operating an Internal Developer Platform - the layer of standardised tooling, infrastructure, and self-service workflows that sits between engineering teams and the cloud. The goal is to give application engineers a paved road to production while keeping the platform reliable, secure, and cost-controlled.
When do you need a platform engineering consultancy?
Typically when a Kubernetes estate has grown faster than the operating model around it - clusters are inconsistent, the platform team is a bottleneck, costs are creeping up, and engineering teams are blocked waiting on infrastructure. KubeWright is engaged to restructure the platform so it can scale reliably and serve teams through self-service.
Do you replace our platform team?
No. We embed with your existing team, work in your environment, and use your tools and change processes. Everything we build is owned and operated by your team after handover - we transfer knowledge, not just code.
How does this fit your engagement offerings?
Platform engineering work is delivered through our Platform Engineering Assessment (2-4 weeks) or Platform Engineering Transformation (3-6 months) engagement formats.
