Problem: UKi needed to modernize cloud infrastructure and eliminate a costly, unreliable third-party virtualization platform. The dependency had caused hundreds of work stoppages and was bleeding money.
What Pelotech did: Migrated UKi to Kubernetes on AWS. Built a custom virtualization platform using KubeVirt, Kube-OVN, and Multus. Eliminated the third-party dependency entirely and set up multiple reproducible environments.
Results:
• $500K+ in annual savings by removing the third-party dependency• 2-3x faster time to target goals
• 50% reduction in manual work
• Working proof of concept delivered in 2.5 months (the co-founder had estimated 3 years)
• 97% reduction in OD360 deployment time

Problem: STEM Learning won a new contract and had exactly 3 months to migrate an on-premises application to cloud-native AWS. The previous provider's setup had no infrastructure-as-code, no automated provisioning, and strict security requirements.
What Pelotech did: Delivered a proof of concept in 3 weeks and a staging environment by week 7. Used existing migration frameworks and reproducible declarative deployments to complete the full migration ahead of schedule.
Results:
• 8x faster than initial projections
• 100% application availability in the first month live
• Completed ahead of schedule and under budget

Problem: QI's small engineering team was building HMI technology for the U.S. military and needed enterprise-grade AWS GovCloud infrastructure with NIST SP 800-53 compliance. They couldn't afford to spend engineering cycles on cloud security architecture.
What Pelotech did: Redesigned QI's AWS account architecture, eliminated all long-lived credentials, and automated NIST SP 800-53 compliance monitoring across the environment.
Results:
• Zero long-lived credentials in production
• Automated NIST SP 800-53 compliance monitoring
• Engineers freed to focus entirely on core HMI technology

Problem: The U.S. Army required its Cyberspace Workforce Training Environment deployed within their GovCloud setup, managed through a defense contractor.
What Pelotech did: Pelotech served as systems integrator for the full deployment, working within the contractor's GovCloud infrastructure.
Results:
• Successful GovCloud deployment for defense cybersecurity training
• Systems integration across Army cloud environment

Problem: Following the initial engagement, UKi needed to deploy their OD360 platform in a GovCloud environment capable of achieving ATO (Authority to Operate) approval. OD360 had grown into a fragile system of 30-40 interdependent services with no self-healing.
What Pelotech did: Applied the Pelotech Foundation Stack to UKi's GovCloud environment. Refactored OD360 to reduce interdependencies, improve self-healing, and simplify the operational model. Shifted deployments from every 6-12 months to daily, automated releases.
Results:
• FedRAMP-track GovCloud architecture established
• Deployments shifted from semi-annual to daily
• Replaced legacy on-prem range provider with elastic, EKS-based alternative
• Reusable deployment pattern applicable to future GovCloud projects

Pelotech's hiring process is built to find engineers who are both technically exceptional and strong communicators. Candidates go through live coding sessions, architecture discussions, and cross-project exercises.
The result is a team where clients feel that our engineers are full-time members of their team.Our engagements start with a defined problem, but they rarely stay there. We ask why things were built the way they were, identify what's really causing the pain underneath, and proactively surface cost savings and efficiency gains that go beyond the original scope.
One client came to us with a Kafka configuration problem. We removed Kafka from their stack entirely because it was the wrong tool for what they were trying to do.That approach is why our engagements tend to expand and why clients tend to stay. When we interviewed UKi's leadership about their experience, one of the co-founders put it simply:
