Your infrastructure and AI,
built for Australian businesses.

We work across EKS, GKE, and AKS. Our GitOps methodology and tooling are cloud-agnostic by design. Whether you're on AWS, GCP, or Azure, the architecture patterns and operational practices we implement work identically across providers.

Cluster configuration, security posture, GitOps maturity, cloud cost analysis, and architecture review, all in one engagement. You get a single detailed report with a prioritised remediation roadmap and ROI case for recommended next steps.

We manage the cluster (upgrades, node groups, networking, autoscaling) and platform components (ingress, cert-manager, monitoring). You manage your applications and deployment workflows. GitOps tooling (Argo CD) is included in the Premium tier, and available as an add-on for Essential and Professional.

RunForge is not SOC2 Type II or ISO 27001 certified. We operate with compliance-aware practices: CIS Kubernetes benchmarks, Pod Security Standards, network policies, and secrets management as standard. For teams pursuing SOC2 or ISO 27001, we provide evidence-ready documentation, control implementation support, and auditor-friendly architecture records.

Yes. Most work is remote. Being based in Melbourne/AEST makes collaboration straightforward across Australia, New Zealand, and APAC, with overlap that works for engineering teams operating in local business hours.

All work is led by senior RunForge engineers. On-call coverage is provided by vetted team members briefed on your environment and held to the same bar before touching anything. No offshore. Work is never handed off without your knowledge.

Every engagement produces documented runbooks, architecture decision records, and operational playbooks, all committed to YOUR repository, not ours. Managed services clients have dedicated backup engineer coverage. Knowledge is never siloed in one person.

If an assessment does not surface a clear set of high-priority next steps, we refund the fee.

Senior engineers do the work. Not juniors supervised by the person who sold the deal. Pricing is fixed per engagement, so the scope is clear before delivery starts. Everything we build comes with knowledge transfer — runbooks, architecture docs, and operational playbooks — so your team can run it without us. We're Melbourne-based, which makes collaboration straightforward for Australian teams.

Week 1 is discovery. We get access to your clusters, codebases, CI pipelines, and existing documentation. Most engagements start with a Platform Assessment during this phase. Week 2, we start shipping. You'll see the first deliverables and a clear plan for what comes next.

You do. Custom code, configurations, and documentation built for you are yours once paid for. We retain ownership of our pre-existing tools and frameworks only. Full details are in section 5 of our terms of service.

RunForge is a new brand, so we don't have a long client list to point to yet. The engineers behind it have years of delivery experience across platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems. We're happy to walk through relevant past work on the initial call. If you want a lower-risk starting point, begin with an assessment and use the output to decide what comes next.

Self-hosted AI deployments run in Australian cloud regions by default. If you choose provider-hosted tooling or broader APAC deployment, we document that exception before rollout. Some developer tools and workflow platforms are provider-hosted and may send telemetry or prompt data to their vendors. We help you evaluate those flows and keep exceptions explicit.

Only if you explicitly choose to. Our default recommendation is self-hosted inference using vLLM or Ollama on Australian infrastructure. If you want to use a hosted API, we help you assess the compliance implications and set up appropriate guardrails.

Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf. We handle SSO integration, policy configuration, autonomous agent setup, custom rules, and MCP server integration. The goal is every engineer using AI tools within your security and compliance framework.

3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to production, depending on GPU availability and model selection. You get a fully operational, OpenAI-compatible API endpoint running on your own infrastructure with monitoring, load testing, and a complete operations runbook.

That's what AI Workflow Automation is for. We map your processes, design AI-augmented workflows, and deploy self-hosted n8n by default. If you prefer a provider-hosted workflow platform, we document that exception before implementation. Most engagements start from $5,000 and complete in 2 to 4 weeks.

The AI Workflow Automation engagement starts at $5,000. It's the fastest way to get a production AI workflow running. For a broader assessment, book a free 30-minute call and we'll scope what makes sense for your team.
