Give Every Dubai Developer a Paved Road to Production
An internal developer platform reduces cognitive load, eliminates toil, and makes every engineer in your Dubai team 3x more productive. We design and build yours — from golden paths to self-service infrastructure.
You might be experiencing...
Every Dubai engineering team faces the same bottleneck: developers waiting on DevOps. A new service needs an infrastructure ticket. A staging environment requires a Slack message. Platform engineering is the practice that fixes this permanently.
We design and build internal developer platforms for Dubai engineering teams — from the first golden path MVP to a full Backstage portal with service catalogue and self-service infrastructure.
Contact us for a free platform engineering consultation — we’ll assess your current workflow and identify where an IDP would have the most impact for your Dubai team.
Engagement Phases
Discovery & Design
Interview your Dubai engineering teams to understand pain points and toil. Map current provisioning workflows. Design the platform architecture — what self-service capabilities to build first, what tooling to adopt (Backstage, Crossplane, ArgoCD).
Golden Path MVP
Build the first golden path: a template that lets a developer scaffold a new service, get a staging environment, and deploy to production in under 30 minutes. Integrate with existing CI/CD and UAE-compliant secrets management.
Self-Service Portal
Deploy Backstage or equivalent developer portal. Integrate service catalogue, TechDocs, software templates, and infrastructure scaffolding. Train your Dubai platform team to extend and maintain.
Adoption & Handover
Migrate first teams to the golden path. Measure time-to-production reduction. Produce runbooks and handover documentation. Optional retainer for ongoing platform iteration.
Deliverables
Before & After
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Time to New Service | 5-10 days: infrastructure ticket + waiting for Dubai DevOps team | < 30 minutes: self-service scaffold via golden path |
| Developer Toil | 30%+ of engineering time on infrastructure and deployment | < 10% — Dubai developers ship product, not plumbing |
| Platform Team Bottleneck | Every Dubai team blocked on platform team approval | Self-service: no ticket required for standard workflows |
Tools We Use
Frequently Asked Questions
What is platform engineering and why do Dubai teams need it?
Platform engineering is building internal tooling and workflows that make software delivery faster for development teams. A platform team builds the 'paved road' — golden paths, self-service portals, pre-built templates — so product engineers focus on shipping features. For Dubai companies scaling rapidly, it's the difference between a DevOps team that's a bottleneck and one that multiplies developer productivity.
Do we need Backstage for a developer portal?
Backstage is the most widely adopted developer portal, but not the only option. We evaluate your team size, existing tooling, and maintenance capacity before recommending Backstage or alternatives. For Dubai teams under 30 engineers, a lighter-weight approach using existing CI/CD tooling often delivers faster time-to-value.
How does platform engineering account for UAE data residency requirements?
UAE data residency requirements affect where your infrastructure and environment provisioning tooling can live. We design platform templates that enforce compliant cloud regions by default — Azure UAE North for regulated workloads, compliant AWS regions — and integrate data classification into the golden path scaffold so developers can't accidentally provision non-compliant environments.
