The engineering team behind Peak Scale
We are a specialised engineering and architecture team for cloud native platforms – pragmatic, technically grounded, and close to operational reality.
Our team
We are engineers, architects, and platform specialists with different focus areas – connected by a shared mindset. Platforms have to be traceable, automated, and load-bearing in everyday operations.

Our mission
We help IT departments build stable, secure, and future-ready platforms. At the centre are pragmatic decisions, technical depth, and architectures that can evolve over years – independent of individual vendors or products.
Clear goals
Traceable decisions
Working systems
Joint delivery with the customer team
Our way of working
We work closely with our customers' engineering and architecture teams – as technical partners in everyday project work. Short paths, clear sparring, and steps that hold up in operations and scale.
How we work:
Short communication paths
Honest technical sparring
Iterative architecture development
Evidence-based decisions
Enablement over dependency
Documentation that's actually used
Why cloud native?
Cloud native is not a trend for us, it's the dependable basis of modern platforms – open, automated, and load-bearing for the long run.
Scale and flexibility
Security and transparency
Extensible, long-lived platforms
Automation and speed
Portability and openness
We deliberately rely on open standards and established open-source technologies – without proprietary lock-in.
Our values
Pragmatism
We prefer solutions that work – over those that only look good on paper.
Reliability
We work transparently, traceably, and without surprises.
Technical depth
We don't build anything we couldn't operate ourselves.
Openness
We share knowledge, raise problems clearly, and recommend what really makes sense.
Community
We are actively involved in the (Swiss) cloud native ecosystem.
Engagement in the community
Sharing knowledge is part of who we are. We actively contribute to events, meetups, and open-source projects.
Swiss Cloud Native Day (co-organisers)
Cloud Native Bern Meetup (co-organisers)
Talks and workshops on GitOps, Kubernetes, security
Contributions to open-source tools we use daily
This engagement keeps us close to current developments – and gives us valuable insight into the challenges different teams and industries face.
