Launch New GKE Services in Hours · Reduce Platform Bottlenecks · Standardize Delivery
Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Google Cloud & GKE
I help engineering teams eliminate manual application onboarding, inconsistent CI/CD, and platform bottlenecks by implementing practical internal developer platforms on Google Cloud.
- Built for teams scaling on Google Cloud & GKE
- Accelerate teams with self-service application onboarding
- Reduce app onboarding from weeks to hours
- Standardize secure application delivery on GKE
- Reduce platform overhead and delivery inconsistency
Sound familiar?
What worked early in your cloud journey often becomes harder to scale as engineering teams, services, and delivery expectations grow.
Application onboarding is slow and inconsistent
Every new service requires manual setup across repositories, IAM, namespaces, CI/CD pipelines, secrets, and deployment workflows. What should take hours often takes days or weeks.
Platform teams are becoming the bottleneck
Developers depend on platform teams for routine tasks like namespace creation, service accounts, access configuration, and deployment setup — slowing delivery across teams.
Deployment standards are fragmented
Each application team follows different CI/CD patterns, IAM models, Helm structures, and security practices. This creates operational inconsistency and makes scaling engineering harder.
Runtime identity and access are difficult to manage
Service accounts, Workload Identity mappings, and application permissions are often handled manually. This increases security risk, creates audit gaps, and makes access harder to maintain over time.
Platform knowledge lives in tribal processes
Application onboarding often depends on undocumented steps, internal scripts, and platform-specific knowledge, making delivery inconsistent and difficult to scale.
Platform operations are becoming expensive
As services and teams grow, onboarding, environment provisioning, IAM controls, and deployment guardrails create operational overhead instead of reusable platform capabilities.

Work directly with a Principal GCP Architect
Helping teams standardize application delivery, platform operations, and cloud foundations on Google Cloud
I’m Amit Malhotra. Over the last 10+ years in cloud and 20+ years in technology, I’ve worked across startups and enterprise environments helping teams improve platform architecture, delivery workflows, security, and operational consistency on Google Cloud.
Across different teams and growth stages, the same patterns repeat:
application onboarding slows as services grow
platform work becomes manual and inconsistent
delivery standards drift across teams
IAM and runtime access become harder to manage
platform governance becomes reactive instead of repeatable
My role is simple: help teams identify where onboarding, delivery, and platform operations are breaking down — and build practical systems to standardize them.
No junior handoffs. No outsourced delivery. Just direct senior-level guidance.
