Startup Case Study
Common Tools engaged ExaDev to enhance their engineering capacity, focusing on secure and automated cloud infrastructure. We delivered critical GitOps processes and confidential compute capabilities on GCP.
Building Secure Infrastructure for a Silicon Valley AI Startup
To overcome limited engineering bandwidth, Common Tools partnered with ExaDev to accelerate their infrastructure development. Our small, agile team seamlessly integrated with their existing engineers to deliver a production-ready Constellation (confidential compute on Kubernetes) cluster on GCP. This was achieved through a fully automated GitOps workflow using CDKTF for Infrastructure as Code, managed via GitHub Actions, including automated container builds and service deployments.
"They communicated proactively, needed little direction, and the timezone difference wasn't an issue. I'd enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who is in the market for high-quality flexible engineering bandwidth."
- Automated GitOps & IaC Delivery
We established a fully automated GitOps workflow using GitHub Actions and CDKTF (Terraform for TypeScript), enabling rapid and reliable deployment of their infrastructure as code.
- Confidential Compute with Kubernetes
Successfully deployed and configured a Constellation cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), providing a secure environment for confidential compute workloads on GCP.
- Integrated & Efficient Team Augmentation
Our lean, expert team quickly integrated with Common Tools' engineers, providing high-quality, flexible engineering bandwidth to deliver critical infrastructure components efficiently.
