Platform
An opinionated platform for application delivery and operations.
We are building and operating our own platform for application delivery and operations.
Not because hosting is unsolved, but because we repeatedly saw two extremes in practice:
Either infrastructure setups were oversized and unnecessarily complex, driving costs far beyond what the actual project required.
Or they were outdated and rigid, slowing down every attempt to improve anything digital.
Most organizations do not need infinite scale.
They need infrastructure that fits their actual workload and supports steady, sustainable growth.
Why we are building this
Over the years, we have worked with environments where complexity grew faster than value.
Costs increased.
Dependencies multiplied.
Operational effort expanded.
Yet the daily experience of building and running software did not improve.
We are building a platform that takes a different approach:
less flexibility for its own sake, more deliberate constraints.
Less hyperscale theatre, more practical scalability.
This platform is built for self-use first.
What it provides
The platform combines proven open-source technologies with an opinionated operating model.
Core services can be provisioned with minimal friction, including:
- PostgreSQL
- Object storage (S3-compatible)
- Identity and access management (Keycloak)
- Observability stack (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, logging)
Applications can be deployed via:
- Git-based workflows (e.g. GitHub)
- Container images
- Custom repositories
Multiple environments are supported by default:
staging, production, testing, and internal workloads can coexist within a consistent structure.
The goal is not to offer every possible configuration.
It is to provide a reliable baseline that works in practice.
What it is not
- Not a hyperscale platform
- Not a general-purpose abstraction layer
- Not a feature checklist
- Not a replacement for engineering responsibility
We deliberately optimize for scalability that fits real-world companies.
Not for theoretical extremes that add cost and complexity without practical benefit.
Two variants
The platform exists in two forms:
IndieCloud
A self-service environment for developers and internal projects.
A place to build, deploy, and experiment within a consistent operating model.
Doublecheck IT Platform
The business-focused variant.
Used in client environments with stricter requirements around security, stability, compliance, and operational clarity.
Both variants share the same technical foundation and operating model.
