Modernizing a bank's integration platform. From the ground up.
How Crafty Penguins delivered a fully production-ready, high-availability, multi-data-center platform for a US commercial bank, from zero footprint to documented handover.
Design, build, and hand over a production platform your team can operate, architecture, security baselines, runbooks, and training included. The project ends with the keys in your hands, not a dependency you can't unwind.
Build-and-handover work shows up when the destination is new and the internal team is expected to own it after cutover, a bank, a product org, a public agency that can't keep a vendor in the chair forever.
Plenty of teams can stand something up. Fewer leave a platform someone else can run without calling them every week.
If handover isn't in the acceptance criteria, you get a working system and an empty runbook.
They inherit choices they didn't make. Training has to cover why, not just which button.
DR, monitoring, and access paths that weren't exercised in the build become the first incidents after we leave.
We treat documentation, training, and restore tests as part of the build, not a slide at the end.
Workshops for topology, security, backup, and who will run it after cutover.
Dev or staging first, then DR, then production, proving restore before you carry real traffic.
Architecture, runbooks, access model, DR procedures. The artifacts your team will use at 2 a.m.
Sessions with ops and developers. We leave when they can run it, not when the last VM boots.
Designing, building, and running real cluster platforms, multi-tenant when they need to be, production-grade. For teams who want the benefits of a shared platform without the year-long learning curve.
