536 Technologies brings platform engineering to the systems your teams already depend on.

Discuss your platformSee the work

The platform works. Changes take too many paths.

Different people change it through different tools and processes. Configuration drifts, wikis and runbooks fall behind, and the team loses a reliable view of how the platform should be managed.

  • Change paths are fragmented

    Configuration and context are spread across consoles, tickets, scripts, repositories, and people's heads.

  • Knowledge and access are concentrated

    A few people carry the context and permissions for critical changes, creating delays and continuity risk.

  • Routine changes carry unnecessary risk

    When ownership, testing, and release controls vary by system, even familiar work is harder to review and repeat.

  • Improvement keeps losing priority

    Supporting daily work through fragmented processes consumes the same people who need to improve how the platform changes.

Give platform changes a clear delivery path.

We identify which platform changes belong in code, then establish a clear process for reviewing, validating, approving, and delivering them.

Your team retains ownership, with native platform controls used where they are the better fit.

  1. Assess

    Work inside the day-to-day process and find where time and attention go.

    What you leave withA prioritized view of what to codify and what to fix first.

  2. Codify

    Bring the right live configuration into Git and make it the default change path.

    What you leave withAdministrative changes that are visible, reviewable, and repeatable.

  3. Operationalize

    Define a governance model for who can change what, how it is approved, and how it is released.

    What you leave withA governed path for the right people and teams to make changes safely.

  4. Enable

    Make the model clear and usable in daily work.

    What you leave withDocumentation, standards, and templates that fit the team.

Common questions

Scope, tools, ownership, and how delivery works.

What does 536 Technologies do?

We assess how platform administration happens, bring the right parts into version control, establish governance and delivery controls, document operations, and help the team use the new model.

Who is this for?

Leaders accountable for platform risk, budget, and team capacity, and the engineers living the day-to-day pain. A common case is an overloaded team that must keep the platform running and lacks time to improve how it changes.

Do we have to standardize on one tool?

No. Terraform and OpenTofu are common tools. APIs, CLIs, and other control surfaces are used when they fit better. Not every platform object belongs in Terraform.

Do you take over our platform or build our product?

We do not take ownership of your application, data, or AI workloads. We can provide an ongoing maintenance engagement where we own the platform engineering changes and delivery paths, allowing your team to focus on delivering business value. Contact us to discuss the right scope.

Let's talk about your platform.

Bring us in when platform change is slower or riskier than the business can afford.
