Eight roles.
One team.

Hire one specialist, or the whole ring. Pick a role to see what it brings.

Your team

The centre of it all. We plug in around the people you already have.

From idea to production

One pipeline, end to end.

  1. 01 Plan

    The backlog, ordered by value.

    # backlog.md
1. Checkout drops on mobile     value: high  effort: S
2. Move reports off the monolith value: high  effort: M
3. Dark mode                     value: low   effort: S

  2. 02 Design

    Research first, then a prototype people can click.

    research  → interviews, analytics, support tickets
prototype → the two flows that matter
test      → with real users, before a line of code
# cheaper to change a sketch than a release

  3. 03 Build

    Small changes, reviewed, merged daily.

    $ git switch -c fix/keep-basket
$ git commit -m "fix: keep basket on session refresh"
$ git push
# pipeline starts. nobody waits for a release train.

  4. 04 Test

    In the pipeline, in parallel, in minutes.

    $ npx playwright test
  ✓ checkout › keeps basket after refresh
  ✓ checkout › pays by card
  ✓ account › resets password
  all green – safe to ship

  5. 05 Ship

    Canary releases that roll back on their own.

    strategy:
  canary:
    steps:
      - setWeight: 10
      - analysis: { templates: [error-rate] }
      - setWeight: 50
# bad metrics → automatic rollback

  6. 06 Run

    Infrastructure as code, observable, and paid for sensibly.

    $ tofu plan
  No changes. Infrastructure matches the code.
$ kubectl get rollout checkout
  checkout   Healthy   stable
# otel → prometheus → grafana. spot where it fits.

Proof, without the names

Work we have done.

  • Recruitment

    Self-hosted AI

    AI that takes people by the hand

    Automatic candidate matching, and guided onboarding that adapts each step to the customer – on a locally hosted model. Candidate data never left the company.

  • Consultancy

    Ask the wiki

    An assistant that knows what is written down

    An internal AI assistant that answers from Confluence and the other wikis, so people stop interrupting colleagues for answers that already exist.

  • Automotive

    A third off

    A multi-cloud bill cut by about a third

    Every cost attributed to an owner, right-sized, unused resources removed. Instances scale with demand, with spot instances wherever a workload can handle interruption.

  • Media

    Auto rollback

    Releases that roll themselves back

    Canary releases watched by metrics. A bad release stops itself before most users see it.

  • Insurance

    0 renewals

    Two clouds, one network

    AWS and Azure regions connected, with certificates issued and rotated automatically. Nobody renews one by hand any more.

  • Software

    Hours → minutes

    A test suite, rebuilt

    End-to-end tests rebuilt to run in parallel inside the pipeline. They now run in minutes, on every change.

What happens after you email us

A three-way handshake.

  1. SYN

    Intro call

    Thirty minutes. You describe the problem, and we tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

  2. SYN-ACK

    Assessment

    A short look at your setup, then a written recommendation with options, effort and cost. Yours to keep, whatever you decide.

  3. ACK

    Delivery or handover

    We do the work alongside your team, or hand over a plan your team can run with. Either way, it is documented.

man knotenhub

Can you provide a whole team?

Yes. From one specialist to a complete team – project management, agile coach, product, architecture, UX, development, QA and DevOps – working as one unit.

Do you work alongside our own people?

Yes, and that is the usual case. We join your tools, rituals and chat, and leave the knowledge behind when we go.

Remote or on site?

Mostly remote, from Ireland. On site for kick-offs, workshops and whenever the work needs it, in Ireland, the UK and the EU.

Time zone and languages?

Irish time, which overlaps fully with UK hours and most of the Central European day. We work in English and German.

How does pricing work?

A day rate for open-ended work, or a fixed price for a clearly scoped piece. The assessment shows which one fits.

How fast can you start?

Usually within two weeks. Small, urgent pieces often sooner. There is no formal minimum engagement.
