Built, run, sold — by Orion

We don't recommend what we don't run.

Sprintsail runs our infrastructure on AWS. Drydock runs the managed Kubernetes workloads we won't trust to a third party. Shortlist matches the senior engineers we ship with. When you hire Orion — for Ark cloud architecture or Quantum Labs vertical AI — you're working with the team that builds and operates these platforms in production every day.

Three platforms.
One operating discipline.

Each of these started because we needed it ourselves. They run our infrastructure, host our workloads, and staff our engagements. We sell what we trust to run on.

TypeScript IaC SDK
Sprintsail
Nine primitives, two targets, one workflow. Declare your app in TypeScript, sail deploy to AWS, sail migrate to a Kubernetes runtime you own. Same handler code, no lock-in. Apache 2.0.
Production-Ready POC
Drydock
A secure, compliant, demo-ready managed Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes. The full cf push developer experience — buildpacks, routing, service binding — without managing PCF or TAS. Brought up on demand for customer demos.
Verified ✓ Talent
Shortlist
Resume polish is not a skill. Cold-applying is not a strategy. ~2.5 hours of real work — assessment, lab, 45-min senior-engineer interview — and the credential follows you across every employer on the platform. The talent layer behind every Orion engagement.

Services for the work
between greenfield and steady state.

When the products above don't fit your problem directly — when you need the team that built them to architect, advise, or build inside your environment — that work lands here.

Cloud Infrastructure
Ark Solutions
Senior cloud engineering for the moment between "it works" and "it scales." CDK-first architecture, multi-account guardrails, and a fractional cloud lead — handed off to a team that can run it without us.
Vertical AI on Bedrock
Quantum Labs
Domain-grounded AI for the work horizontal models can't touch. Production agents on Bedrock + Claude, evaluation harnesses, and the boring observability that keeps them honest. Two-week spikes, then graduate or kill.

Recent thinking: Horizontal vs vertical AI — why we keep picking depth over breadth.

Sprintsail Platform

Ship to any runtime.
Lock in nothing.

Every vendor in this space owns either the developer or the runtime — never both. Sprintsail owns both and locks in neither.

Declare your app as TypeScript primitives — Function, Database, Bucket, ... — then sail deploy to AWS. When you're ready, sail migrate to the Sprintsail Runtime — managed Kubernetes running open-source operators. Same handler code, every step.

SDK and CLI are Apache 2.0. Sprintsail Runtime is the managed K8s tier. No vendor lock-in either direction.

Production Workloads

Production-ready by default. Not by configuration.

Security
Secure from the first deploy
WAF, DDoS protection, automatic SSL, container image scanning, and full encryption — active by default.
Observability
Unified metrics, logs, traces
Request rate, error rate, p50/p95/p99 latency, resource utilization, and structured logs — no agents to configure.
Scaling
Intelligent autoscaling
Scale from 1 to 100 instances on CPU, request rate, or queue depth. Enterprise adds predictive scaling.
Deploys
Zero-downtime rollouts
Blue-green deployments with automated health checks. Failed deploys roll back automatically.
Environments
Multi-environment Spaces
Production, staging, and dev are isolated Spaces. Promote builds between environments with a single command.
Isolation
Dedicated infrastructure
Enterprise customers get dedicated isolated environments on AWS, Azure, or GCP with multi-AZ HA and 99.99% SLA.
Targets

Two targets today. More coming. Same SDK code, every step.

Shortlist · Proof-of-Skill Talent Network

AI-verified talent.
Human-confirmed quality.

Hiring is broken on both ends. Resumes oversell, interviews under-test, and the engineers who'd actually do the work get lost in the noise.

Shortlist is a Proof-of-Skill talent network. Every profile is AI-ranked against your role, put through structured assessments and hands-on labs, then signed off by a senior engineer in the field. What lands in your pipeline isn't a résumé claim — it's evidence.

Korifi Drydock

cf push your way
to production.

Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes. The full cf push developer experience — buildpacks, routing, service binding — without managing PCF or TAS.

Powered by Korifi (CNCF) on Kubernetes. Every workload is different — we design environments tailored to your team. Start with a free proof of concept.

Perfect for POCs, prototyping, dev/test, and teams evaluating Cloud Foundry without the enterprise overhead.

cf push Workflow
The developer experience Cloud Foundry is known for. Push source code, get a running app — buildpacks handle the rest.
Kubernetes Native
Runs on Kubernetes with Korifi controllers. All the CF semantics, backed by real K8s primitives — pods, services, ingress.
Service Binding
Bind databases, caches, and storage to your apps. Credentials injected automatically — no manual config.

Every workload is different. We design and provision a Drydock environment tailored to your architecture and team.

Korifi Drydock

Managed Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes. The developer experience your team already knows — cf push, buildpacks, service binding, org/space RBAC — running on production-grade K8s infrastructure we manage for you.

No Dockerfile. No YAML. No PCF license. Push code and get a running, routed, TLS-secured app. Start with a free lightweight deployment. Scale to a fully managed production environment when you're ready.
