From our work
We have a software idea and our first customers – how do we get it into production?
From prototype to a platform for metering data
Starting point
A young company in the energy sector was building a platform for metering data from the smart meter rollout. There was a prototype that a consultancy had built. What was missing was the foundation for running it with customers: no reproducible infrastructure, no defined delivery process.
What we did
As a team of three, we built the delivery foundation from scratch. The infrastructure on Azure is created as code with Terraform, and Kubernetes is the runtime. Delivery runs through GitOps with Argo CD: what is in the repository runs in the cluster. GitHub Actions pipelines build and check every change.
Result
A production environment that can be rebuilt from the repository. Changes go live through a pull request, not through manual work on the cluster.
What we do differently today
Looking back, we built bigger than a young company needs. Today we start smaller and let the platform grow with the product.
