Proof of Concept

Ship fast. Run safe.

StrixHQ is an opinionated PaaS that makes "no-team microservices" production-grade with golden paths, hard guardrails, and compliance evidence.

The Problem

Agentic AI makes building cheap. But when builders move on, services are left behind without structural ownership.

Inconsistent CI/CD

Every service its own pipeline? No scale, no guarantees.

Unmeasurable Runtime

If you don't know what's running, you can't intervene.

Security Drift

Dependencies age, configs drift, nobody patches.

Snowflakes

Operations must treat each service as a unique snowflake.

The Solution

StrixHQ enforces standardization so Operations can host microservices without having to understand each service separately.

Golden Path Templates

Standard templates with CI/CD, deploy-manifests, and observability baked in. Start from the path, not beside it.

Hard Guardrails

Supply chain controls + Kubernetes admission policies. What doesn't pass the gate doesn't reach production.

Canonical Observability

Structured logging, metrics, and traces via OpenTelemetry. Uniform dashboards for all services.

Compliance Evidence

Demonstrable controls per release: SBOM, signatures, policy decisions. Audit trail out-of-the-box.

How It Works

You draw circles. We draw the rest of the owl. 🦉

Three steps to production-ready services.

1

Scaffold

Start a service from the template. CI/CD, Helm chart, and observability are included by default.

make scaffold-service NAME=my-service
2

Ship

Push via PR. CI gates automatically validate tests, security scans, SBOM, and policy checks.

git push origin feature/my-feature
3

Deploy

GitOps deploys to the cluster. Admission policies + dashboards make you Operations-ready immediately.

argocd app sync my-service

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this another platform project that's never finished?

No. StrixHQ is a paved road as a product. Teams keep building features, the platform handles the rest. We start with a focused MVP and expand based on proven value.

What if there is no owning team?

Exactly the problem we solve. For no-team services, we assign a service steward. Operations triages based on standard runbooks and canonical observability.

How do you avoid vendor lock-in?

Everything is declarative config via GitOps. We use standard tooling: Kubernetes, OCI containers, OpenTelemetry. You can take your services with you if you want.

Can we make exceptions to policies?

Yes, in the Pro tier. Exceptions get a TTL, require an approver, and are logged. No permanent exceptions that get forgotten.

Is there auto-healing if something breaks?

MVP offers bounded rollback and PR-based remediation. Full agentic ops with autonomus auto-remediation is on the roadmap for Enterprise tier.
