How we work

Set up. Stay up. Four habits behind the motto.

Engineers on every call, from the first one

The engineers you plan with are the engineers who build and run it, from the first call to the last deploy.

Everything is written down

Infrastructure as code, decision records and runbooks are part of every delivery. If Labb disappeared tomorrow, your team could keep running.

The smallest thing that works

We have run very large platforms and know what they cost. We recommend a single server when a single server is right, and we say so in writing.

Open source over lock-in

Kipper exists because we wanted Kubernetes that runs on any Linux box. The same thinking applies to every tool we choose for you.
