Platform Engineering Approach

You need a custom platform to manage deployments and cloud infrastructure

Platform engineering approach to DevOps automation has proven benefits. Making it a ‘must-have’ in current competitive environment.

“Highly evolved technology organisations adopt platform engineering to unlock DevOps success at scale.”

“By 2026, 80% of software engineering organisations will establish platform teams to provide reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery”

Should you build one?

Sure, but most teams get stuck doing so

Building and maintaining an in-house developer platform can be tough, time-consuming, and expensive. Here’s why.

Cloud native space is complex

Choosing the right set of components from 100s of options.

Then getting them to work together without breaking.

Managing security and integrity every time there is an update.

The complexity increases exponentially with every new component you add.

You will need a team of experts

Finding, hiring, and retaining high-quality engineers has always been challenging.

Low availability + high demand.

Low Bandwidth

Who take time to build and optimise the platform

Most engineering teams run low on bandwidth. An internal project like this usually gets deprioritised and put on a back-burner.

Best case scenario, it might take months (even years) to build and optimise the platform.

Then a dedicated team is needed to maintain and update it.

All this while, you keep incurring high costs

Till the time your fully automated platform is ready and optimised, your cost of operations will be high.

Outlay Costs

People cost

Paying high salaries to a team of expert engineers

Cloud cost

Incurring high infrastructure costs till the process gets optimised

Potential revenue loss

Regularly crashing app can lead to a bad user experience and loss of sales

Opportunity Costs

Losing out to competition

Competition shipping out new feature updates faster than you

Inefficient use of time

Spend less time building stuff and more time firefighting

Regular delays

High latency in operation cycles resulting in deployment backlogs and over-provisioned infrastructure

Frequent failures

Frequent deployment failures and app crashes due to non-standardised manual processes

How it works

Castor makes platform engineering adoption quick, effortless, and affordable

Experience our high-tech, high-touch approach to platform engineering

Quick to get started

Get a head-start against your competition. Acquire a custom end-to-end automated application platform in just 7 days.

Explore our step-by-step onboarding process.

STEP 0
Jumpstart with a ready platform

Castor is built, continuously tested and optimised for 2+ years by cloud native experts.

From day one, you get a stable, time-tested platform.

STEP 1
Discovery call

Our team of platform engineers will first understand your application architecture, devOps requirements, and team structure.

We then proceed with a platform demo and evaluate fit in your context.

STEP 2
Custom platform set-up and POC

We then configure the platform to match your business needs today and in the future.

The set-up follows with an optional 14-day PoC for contextual evaluation.

STEP 3
We manage the platform for you

Once set-up, we manage the platform for you, while your team can focus on your core app.

Castor has created so much more time and bandwidth for us.

What my team of engineers would have built in 6-7 months, we could acquire in just 5 days.

Today, all our DevOps is managed by just one person having 3 years of experience.

Now we have extra budget to hire more developers on the left side.

Castor is a must-have for every tech start-up.
