Needs

Data pipelines & integration. We ingest event data from many third-party developer tools with rate limits and schema changes that keep breaking our syncs.

Today: in-house graph of delivery events from code, tickets and builds; engineers hired to scale · Urgency: this year

Privacy & data protection (GDPR/HIPAA). Some customers ask for storage outside our default region, and we must track where each tenant's data lives.

Today: EU data residency by default with US option, published security page, annual penetration test · Urgency: this year

Cloud security posture. Our clusters are hardened by hand today; we want continuous checks that configurations stay that way.

Today: hardened container cluster, twice-yearly internal audits, automated dependency updates reviewed by developers · Urgency: this year
