Key Capabilities

Everything you need to build production-grade solutions

Crossplane Implementation & Setup

Fresh Crossplane deployment on your Kubernetes clusters - control plane installation, Provider configuration (AWS, GCP, Azure), Managed Resource setup, and initial Composition authoring. A working internal platform, not a proof of concept.

Compositions & XRD Design

Custom Composite Resource Definitions (XRDs) and Compositions that give your developers self-service infrastructure APIs. We design the abstraction layer your teams actually use - databases, caches, networking, entire environments - claimed through simple Kubernetes manifests.

Multi-Cloud & Provider Configuration

Configure and manage Crossplane Providers across AWS, GCP, Azure, and other cloud APIs. ProviderConfig setup, credential management, resource lifecycle policies, and cross-cloud composition patterns for teams operating in multi-cloud environments.

Crossplane Enterprise Support & SLA

Production incidents don't wait. We provide enterprise support for Crossplane in production - incident response within SLA, managed upgrades, security patching, Provider version management, composition debugging, and control plane optimization.

Our Process

A predictable process built for high-quality delivery

01

Assessment

We audit your current infrastructure provisioning - how teams request resources, existing IaC tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK), Kubernetes maturity, cloud provider landscape, and platform engineering goals. You get a written recommendation on whether Crossplane is the right fit, regardless of whether you hire us.

02

Architecture Design

Control plane topology, Provider selection and configuration, XRD and Composition design for your infrastructure APIs, GitOps integration plan (ArgoCD or Flux), RBAC and policy setup, and multi-cluster strategy if applicable. Documented so your team can review and challenge it.

03

Implementation

Install Crossplane, configure Providers, build Compositions and XRDs, set up Claims for developer self-service, integrate with your GitOps pipeline, and configure policy guardrails. We work in your infrastructure, with your team, using your CI/CD workflows.

04

Knowledge Transfer

Runbooks for Crossplane operations, Composition authoring guides, XRD design patterns, Provider upgrade procedures, and troubleshooting playbooks. The goal: your team extends and operates the platform independently.

05

Ongoing Support (optional)

We stay on for production support - Provider upgrades, Composition evolution, control plane scaling, incident response, and new cloud resource onboarding. Engagement scope based on your needs.

Why Quality Matters

Poor engineering costs you

Composition Sprawl

Poorly designed XRDs and Compositions create maintenance burden and break when Providers update

Provider Drift

Unmanaged Provider versions and credentials lead to reconciliation failures and security gaps

Platform Rejection

Abstractions that don't match developer workflows get bypassed, defeating the purpose of the platform

Knowledge Silos

Complex control plane setups that only one person understands create operational risk

Premium development is an investment in

Production-grade internal platform
Consistent multi-cloud provisioning
Confident infrastructure operations
Team-wide platform literacy

Frequently Asked Questions

Crossplane is a CNCF Graduated project (since February 2024) that extends Kubernetes with custom resource definitions (CRDs) to provision and manage cloud infrastructure. It turns your Kubernetes cluster into a universal control plane for infrastructure. You'd need consulting when your team is adopting Crossplane for the first time, designing Compositions and XRDs for developer self-service, or migrating from Terraform to a Kubernetes-native infrastructure workflow.
