The Standard

The Planfold Standard

Reliable systems, clear ownership, and portable architecture so your business stays independent without carrying operational risk.

What Makes the Standard

A high-end website is only as good as the infrastructure it runs on. That's why we apply the Planfold Standard to everything we build.

Visualization & Dashboards

Real-Time Dashboards

Our dashboards show system state in real-time. We detect anomalies early and prevent outages before they happen.

Infrastructure as Code & GitOps

The engine of our automation – every change is versioned, tested, and automatically deployed.

Version Control for Infrastructure

GitLab CI/CD ensures every infrastructure change is traceable and rollbackable.

Automated Deployments

ArgoCD synchronizes desired state from Git to the live environment. No manual intervention needed.

The Kubernetes Core

Why we use Kubernetes for container orchestration – without vendor lock-in.

High Availability

Multi-node clusters with automatic failover. Your applications stay available even when nodes fail.

Scalability

Containers can be automatically scaled based on load. From one pod to hundreds.

No Vendor Lock-in

RKE2/K3s are open-source. Migrate to any Kubernetes cluster – your workloads are portable.
