Sovereign Infrastructure

Infrastructure you fully own and control. No proprietary layers, no managed services you can't leave, no vendor lock-in. You get source code, documentation, and the knowledge to run it without us.

01 THE PRINCIPLE
$ cat ./sovereign.md

Every system we build is yours. We use Nix to make infrastructure reproducible and auditable — every dependency pinned, every build repeatable, every deployment traceable. You can inspect what's running, rebuild it from scratch, and move it to your own hardware whenever you want.

When regulations tighten or a cloud provider changes terms, you're not scrambling. You already have the keys.

This isn't ideological. It's practical. Companies that own their infrastructure make faster decisions, adapt to changing requirements, and don't get held hostage by vendor pricing changes.

02 WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE
$ ls ./principles/ --all

No vendor lock-in

We don't use proprietary abstractions. Everything we deploy can be moved between providers, run on bare metal, or self-hosted. Your infrastructure doesn't depend on any single vendor's continued goodwill.

Reproducible from source

With Nix, your entire infrastructure is defined in code. Every package version, every config file, every service — pinned and reproducible. Rebuild the whole thing from a git commit.

Full auditability

Know exactly what's running in production. No mystery dependencies, no opaque managed services, no "it works because the cloud provider does something." Inspect every layer.

Knowledge transfer built in

We document everything. Walkthroughs, architecture decisions, runbooks. When the engagement ends, your team can operate, modify, and extend the infrastructure without us.

03 USE CASES
$ ls ./use-cases/

Regulated industries

Finance, healthcare, government — when compliance requires knowing exactly what's in your stack and being able to prove it. Nix gives you a complete software bill of materials for free.

Multi-cloud & hybrid

Same declarative configs, different targets. Deploy the same system to AWS, Hetzner, or your own rack. Move between providers without rewriting your infrastructure.

Air-gapped environments

Systems that can't phone home. Nix's reproducibility means you can build everything offline once you have the sources. No runtime fetches, no surprise downloads.

Cloud cost optimization

When your AWS bill gets scary, having infrastructure you can move to bare metal is a real option — not a six-month migration project. Sovereign infrastructure gives you that leverage.
