Consultancy Services

Pragmatic engineering. Relentless execution. Zero bullshit.

Seasoned Senior Engineers ยท Vendor Neutral

We don't sell warm bodies, junior staffing, or 100-day slide-deck discovery phases. noBS! is a French software engineering consultancy that diagnoses the hard, honest truth and does whatever it takes to build efficient, scalable, and cost-effective systems that get the job done.

How We Operate

The Anti-Agency Model

Most tech consultancies thrive on billing bloat, pushing complex bleeding-edge tools that inflate your cloud bills, and collecting referral commissions from vendors. We operate on the exact opposite principles.

100% Vendor Neutral

No kickbacks, no locked-in reseller partnerships. We select the best-fit technology for your actual workload, prioritizing simplicity and financial efficiency.

Senior Principals Only

You work directly with battle-tested engineers who have designed and maintained infrastructure sustaining millions of users. No bait-and-switch with junior staff.

Empowering Your Team

Our goal is not to bill you forever. We automate repetitive toil, document every architecture decision, and train your team to be completely autonomous.

Core Capabilities

Consultancy Practice Areas

End-to-end expertise spanning low-level Linux systems and bare-metal hardware to distributed databases, automated cloud orchestration, and ISMS compliance.

Product & Architecture Auditing

Comprehensive solution assessment and architecture reverse-engineering. We uncover hidden design bottlenecks, concurrency deadlocks, memory leaks, and architectural debt preventing your application from scaling cleanly.

  • Forensics and bottleneck identification
  • Codebase & database access profiling
  • Vendor-neutral optimization roadmap
How things really are, not what you want to hear.

Infrastructure & Cloud Repatriation

Tired of hyperscaler bill shock? We design and maintain world-class network, storage, and computing platforms. We architect seamless Cloud Repatriation paths, migrating workloads from AWS, GCP, or Azure back to cost-effective, privately-owned or hybrid infrastructure.

  • Bare-metal to Kubernetes orchestration
  • High-performance storage (Ceph, ZFS, NVMe)
  • BGP, VLAN/VXLAN & multi-DC networking
Master your own destiny with self-hosted sovereignty.

Automation, SRE & Observability

Human error is the leading cause of outages, and manual intervention is a direct leak of revenue. We implement robust Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and Configuration-as-Code (CaC), paired with unified modern observability.

  • Terraform, Ansible & Kubernetes/Helm automation
  • LGTM or Victoria Stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir, VictoriaMetrics)
  • SRE incident runbooks & team autonomy training
Eliminate toil through relentless automation.

Scale, FinOps & Profitability

Scaling a tech stack from MVP to a profitable business requires disciplined financial and data engineering. We specialize in petabyte-scale distributed storage, database sharding, region-bounded architectures, and aggressive cloud spend reduction.

  • TB to PB storage architectures
  • Distributed, sharded & GDPR-bounded databases
  • FinOps audits reducing compute bills by 50%+
Ensure your profitability grows faster than your traffic.

Security & ISMS Compliance

Security is an existential business asset, not a checkbox exercise. Led by former CISO expertise, we conduct deep-dive technical audits and guide organizations through comprehensive ISMS governance and rigorous certifications.

  • ISO-27001, ISO-27017, ISO-27018 certification
  • Healthcare HDS & HIPAA compliance
  • Zero-trust network security & ISMS risk matrix
Never put your company's reputation at risk.

Open Source Strategy & Tooling

We use, contribute to, live by, and maintain Open Source software. As the creators of the Kowabunga cloud platform, we believe in patent-free software as a public legacy. We help clients replace proprietary license traps with sustainable open foundations.

  • Upstream open-source vetting & integration
  • Custom tooling & Linux kernel tuning
  • Sovereign self-hosted architecture roadmaps
Built on transparent code and mutual trust.
How We Engage

Flexible, High-Impact Engagements

We adapt to your organization's exact needs, offering fixed-scope sprints with measurable milestones, embedded engineering acceleration, or high-level fractional advisory.

1. The Diagnostic Sprint

1 to 2 Weeks

Deep forensic audit of your architecture, cloud spend, security posture, or performance bottlenecks. Delivers clear, unvarnished findings and a prioritized action plan.

2. The Execution Sprint

4 to 12 Weeks

Hands-on infrastructure build, cloud repatriation, CI/CD pipeline automation, or LGTM / Victoria observability deployment, working side-by-side with your engineering leads.

3. Strategic Advisory

Retainer / Ongoing

On-demand access to a seasoned Principal Architect or Fractional CTO or CISO for strategic roadmap reviews, architecture governance, and critical outage forensics.
