Challenge

The client was utilizing an enterprise IT solution but wanted to develop a custom environment to cater to the team’s growing technical needs. The company’s engineers sought help integrating Kubernetes to automate and organize development, testing, and deployment tasks.

Solution

An engineering platform

Toptal matched the client with a Kubernetes expert who had previously created a Kubernetes project specifically for platform engineering teams. He leveraged this as the foundation for designing a bespoke solution that included a custom toolkit for developers’ daily needs.

Innovation in security testing

The talent helped the team create a protocol to automate immediate security checks during development, eliminating the need for post-coding security reviews. The protocol accelerated progress while allowing the team to build more secure applications.

Outcome

Workflow transformation

The platform now hosts approximately 100 applications, and the client is adopting it companywide. The streamlined workflow has led to increased workplace satisfaction among the project’s engineers, who outscored peers from other parts of the company on an NPS survey.

Harnessing niche expertise

The talent not only provided the necessary expertise, but also understood the project’s values and objectives, integrating seamlessly into the team. The talent came armed with a pre-built solution, which allowed the company to realize tremendous cost savings.
