A small team of Linux people from Bratislava
We've been doing systems administration, hosting and DevOps since 2004. We don't want to be big — we want to be the people you call at 3am.
We started in 2004 as employees. Today we run infrastructure for companies across Slovakia.
Over the years we’ve learned one thing: most problems in IT aren’t technical. They’re a misunderstanding about what should be built, or a system nobody understands after its original author leaves.
That’s why we write documentation. That’s why we hand over projects so someone else can take them on. And that’s why we’d rather turn down work that isn’t a fit than do it badly.
How we work
We don’t have salespeople. On the first call there’s always someone who will actually work on the project. If we say something takes three weeks, it means three weeks — not “three weeks if everything goes right”.
We don’t bill for meetings where nothing is decided. We don’t charge for answering emails. Retainer clients have our phone number.
Where to find us
We’re based in Bratislava, but do most of our work remotely. Our servers are in a data centre at Hetzner. If you need an in-person meeting, we’re happy to come by.
Principles
Understand, then build
We don't have template solutions. Every project starts by working out what you actually need — often something other than what you thought.
Open source by default
Vendor lock-in is the enemy. If a decent open alternative exists, we use it. We want you to be able to leave.
Documentation is part of the deliverable
Runbooks, READMEs, diagrams. If someone comes after us, they should know what we did and why.
