A platform that makes ops obsolete

StrixHQ removes the operational burden so teams can focus on building features, not running infrastructure.

Core Capabilities

Golden Path Templates

Pre-configured service templates with CI/CD, deployment manifests, observability, and health checks built in. Start production-ready, not from scratch.

  • Node.js, Go, Python runtimes
  • Helm charts with best practices
  • Structured logging (Pino/Zap)
  • OpenTelemetry tracing
  • Health check endpoints

Automated CI/CD Gates

Reusable GitHub Actions workflows that validate every PR before code reaches production. No manual checks, no forgotten steps.

  • Unit + integration tests
  • Security scanning (Trivy)
  • SBOM generation
  • Helm chart validation
  • Policy compliance checks

Hard Guardrails

Kyverno policies enforce runtime configuration. What doesn't pass the gate doesn't reach production. Zero tolerance for security misconfigurations.

  • Mandatory resource limits
  • Non-root containers enforced
  • Registry restrictions
  • Required health probes
  • Label compliance

Canonical Observability

Unified metrics, logs, and traces for all services via OpenTelemetry. Pre-configured dashboards, no manual Grafana setup.

  • Prometheus metrics
  • Loki log aggregation
  • Tempo distributed tracing
  • Correlated telemetry
  • Pre-built dashboards

GitOps Automation

Argo CD syncs cluster state with Git. Declarative deployments, audit trail out-of-the-box, rollback with one click.

  • Git as single source of truth
  • Automated drift detection
  • Self-healing deployments
  • Built-in rollback
  • Deployment history

Compliance Evidence

Demonstrable controls per release: SBOM, image signatures, policy decisions. Audit trail for compliance officers, not for developers.

  • SBOM per image
  • Vulnerability reports
  • Policy audit logs
  • Deployment provenance
  • Automated documentation

Developer Workflow

From idea to production in three steps, no ops handoffs.

1

Scaffold Service

Start from golden path template:

make scaffold-service NAME=my-api OWNER=platform-team

Template includes: CI/CD workflows, Dockerfile, Helm chart, health checks, logging, tracing config. Production-ready from commit 1.

2

Build & Validate

Push to Git, CI gates run automatically:

git push origin feature/new-endpoint

Tests, security scans, policy checks, Helm lint. PR cannot merge if gates fail. No manual approvals needed.

3

Deploy via GitOps

Merge to main, Argo CD deploys to cluster:

argocd app sync my-api

Deployment compliance enforced by admission policies. Dashboards and alerts are automatically available.

Platform Stack

Opinionated tooling choices. One stack per concern, not three options.

GitOps

Argo CD - Declarative deployments

Policy

Kyverno - Kubernetes-native YAML policies

Observability

Grafana Stack - Prometheus, Loki, Tempo

Ingress

ingress-nginx - Battle-tested reverse proxy

Telemetry

OpenTelemetry - Vendor-neutral instrumentation

CI/CD

GitHub Actions - Reusable workflows
