Work
What we are building, maintaining, and learning from in practice.
We do not present finished success stories.
This page reflects some (but not all) of our current work.
Systems we build, maintain, and improve while dealing with real constraints and real consequences.
Doublecheck IT Platform
Status: in active development, used in production
We are building and operating our own platform for application delivery and operations.
It builds on modern infrastructure technologies but adds opinionated defaults and predefined processes that reduce operational complexity.
We use it ourselves and deploy it in client environments.
There are two variants:
IndieCloud – a self-service environment for developers and internal projects.
Doublecheck IT Platform – the business-focused variant for production systems.
Engineering Handbook
Status: evolving, publicly available
Our engineering handbook documents how we think, decide, and work.
It contains principles, decision filters, and practical guidance derived from day-to-day work.
This is not documentation for others.
It is documentation for ourselves, made public.

Python Project Template
Status: active, internal baseline
A pragmatic starting point for Python projects.
Focused on predictable structure, container-first development, and tooling that stays out of the way.
We use this template ourselves and refine it as requirements change.

Contributing
When tools become part of our stack, we prefer improving them over working around them indefinitely.
Contributions are usually small and practical:
documentation, integrations, feedback, and operational learnings.
Examples include:
- Identity and access management (Keycloak)
- Observability tooling (OpenTelemetry ecosystem)
- Security tooling (Trivy, scanners, supply chain basics)
