Engineering the systems your organization depends on.
KADIR LIMITED partners with ambitious companies, scaling teams, and public organizations to deliver highly secure cloud platforms, custom backend systems, and continuous integration pipelines that keep production stable.
A simple methodology, disciplined execution.
Every engagement follows the same structured roadmap. We map constraints, document details, build dynamically, and transfer ownership.
Discovery First
We start with extensive system audits, technology reviews, and stakeholder interviews to establish absolute alignment on constraints and goals before any drawing begins.
Architecture as Docs
Decisions are formally captured in Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). We draft clear topological diagrams, data flows, and security policies that guide our build.
Production Iterations
We build systems using infrastructure-as-code (IaC), writing clean APIs with full test coverage, and automated deployment pipelines from the very first commit.
Observe & Transfer
We establish runbooks, observability dashboards, and trigger incident response drills. Success is defined by your internal team comfortably owning the system.
Expertise for critical digital platforms.
We work across the entire technical stack—from designing secure multi-region cloud architectures to writing high-performance application backends.
Cloud & Platforms
Kubernetes and cloud-native setups (principally AWS and GCP). We deliver self-healing structures, secure networking, and clean IAM privilege settings.
- • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- • EKS, GKE, & Vanilla Kubernetes
- • VPC Networks & Subnet Isolation
Custom Backends
High-throughput web applications, service workers, and APIs. We build using modern runtimes with a strong emphasis on architecture test coverage.
- • Python, Go, and Node.js Runtimes
- • Django, FastAPI, & REST/gRPC
- • Event-driven architectures (Kafka)
DevOps & Observability
CI/CD pipelines, metric collectors, tracing, and log management. We help teams move away from chaotic setups to structured monitoring.
- • GitHub Actions & GitLab CI
- • Prometheus, Grafana, & OpenTelemetry
- • Alerting & On-Call Rotation Setup
Data Architectures
Data warehousing, ETL pipelines, and high-performance databases. We structure your transaction logs so you can build dashboards and analytics.
- • PostgreSQL & TimescaleDB
- • BigQuery & Snowflake Storage
- • Apache Airflow & dbt pipelines
Hardening & Security
Penetration test follow-ups, threat modeling, and secrets rotation. We focus on pragmatic, operational protection, not security theater.
- • Vault & Cloud Secrets Integration
- • Security Group & Firewall Audits
- • Code vulnerability Scanning (SAST)
Fractional CTO Services
High-level roadmap alignment, vendor evaluation, and hiring strategies for businesses transitioning past their initial technical scale.
- • Technical Due Diligence Reports
- • Vendor Selection & Cost Audits
- • Mentorship & Interview Systems
Sectors where our architectures fit.
While cloud systems share common rules, each sector has specific regulatory, security, and traffic patterns. Here is where we specialize:
Fintech & Payments
Ledger databases, secure merchant transactions, payment gateway links, and strict audit compliance.
B2B SaaS & Tech
Multi-tenant partition databases, metric tracking, CI build speedups, and dynamic platform API hosting.
Logistics & Retail
Real-time delivery coordinates, order processing states, search filters, and inventory database models.
Public Sector & NGO
High-accessibility user interfaces, open data models, civic portals, and high compliance auditing records.
Flexible models for your company stage.
We are flexible in contract setups, but strict in code quality. Select the structure that matches your current development roadmap.
Project Delivery
Fixed-scope, fixed-timeline implementation. Ideal for platform migrations, initial Kubernetes cluster builds, or security audits.
Embedded Engineering
We integrate alongside your internal developers for 3–12 months. We operate in 2-week sprints, run weekly status updates, and ensure gradual knowledge transfer.
Fractional CTO
Strategic engineering advisory (1–2 days per week). We perform tech stack reviews, assist in developer hiring structures, audit cloud spends, and participate in board reviews.
Clear answers to common questions.
