About Us

We are the Center of Excellence (CoE) at GD Services a cross-functional team of platform engineers, devops engineers and solution architects.

Our purpose is simple: help product teams ship reliable, secure, and scalable solutions faster, with less toil and more confidence.

Our Mission

Raise the engineering bar across GD Services by turning proven practices into reusable building blocks—so teams can focus on delivering customer value, not re-inventing the basics.

What We Do

• Reference Architectures: Cloud-ready blueprints for networking, data, observability, CI/CD, and security.
• Reusable Modules & Templates: Infrastructure-as-Code, Helm charts, and pipelines with sensible defaults.
• Guides & Enablement: Design reviews, workshops, and office hours to unblock teams quickly.
• Operational Guardrails: Secure-by-default standards, checklists, and runbooks that scale.

How We Work

• Open by default: We share patterns, decisions, and code where everyone can learn and contribute.
• Automation first: Repeatable tasks are scripted, versioned, and auditable.
• Security built-in: Controls are integrated from day one—not bolted on later.
• Outcome driven: We track impact (lead time, change failure rate, reliability) to guide improvements.

Who We Serve
