Three engagements, three outcomes.
Each case study below describes a real engagement — the problem that was brought, the engineering approach taken, and what changed as a result. Customer identities are withheld by design. The numbers are measured, not projected. What you read here is what happened, not what might happen.
These three engagements span different industries — fintech, defense, high-tech manufacturing — but they share a pattern. Each started with a proprietary dependency that was costing more than it delivered, and each ended with an open-source stack that did the job better, cheaper, and under the customer's full control. The customer team was left with the runbooks, the knowledge base, and the training to keep improving without us. The engineering is the interesting part. The savings are the proof.
Startup Scale-Up: From Manual to Automated CI/CD
A Series B fintech was deploying by hand — four-hour release windows, frequent rollbacks, no automated testing. A full CI/CD pipeline with Gitea Actions cut deployments to 15 minutes and eliminated failed releases.
Enterprise Observability: Open-Source Replacing Proprietary
A defense-sector enterprise was paying thousands per month for proprietary monitoring and drowning in alert noise. A Zabbix, Graylog, and Grafana stack delivered full visibility at a fraction of the cost.
Open-Source Infrastructure Migration
A high-tech manufacturer was locked into proprietary infrastructure with rising licensing costs. An open-source migration eliminated the licensing burden and saved $8,360/month without losing capability.
30 days of production operation. From four-hour manual releases with frequent rollbacks to automated pipelines with quality gates.
Enterprise observability rollout. 142 hosts monitored end-to-end, $6,200 saved per month versus the proprietary quote.
Open-source migration. VMware to Proxmox VE with zero capabilities lost and 100% self-hosted control regained.
