WHAT WE DO
Cloud Advisory, Software Development and AI platform engineering as a Service
Your roadmap should not depend on standing up an internal platform guild. Under AI platform engineering as a service, we own the architecture, integrations, and operated CAIP surface so prompts, retrieval, observability, and billing stay aligned—from pilot through scale. Learn more about our services
SOLUTION
CAIP — the managed runtime behind our AI platform engineering as a service.
CAIP
Cloudstrata Artificial Intelligence Platform
CAIP is the slice between vibe-coded demos and a full platform hire: multi-tenant workspaces, tool routing for LLMs, retrieval pipelines, evaluation hooks, and Stripe-backed metering – ready when procurement asks real questions.
Your teams iterate on prompts and datasets; we operate the shared substrate – identity boundaries, audit trails, and spend tied to outcomes – not shadow experiments scattered across laptops.
From 500 EUR per month
- Design pilots around jobs-to-be-done – not benchmarks – then attach evaluation gates before widening blast radius
- Agents + connectors share tenancy, tracing, and rate limits so incidents stay boring
- Inference and embeddings workloads metered next to executive KPIs – finance reads the same chart engineering does
- Stripe-backed SaaS posture: predictable tiers instead of surprise GPU invoices
- RBAC, secrets posture, and isolation primitives sized for regulated narratives
- Roadmaps align procurement, security, and builders – no parallel spreadsheet truth
WHO WE SERVE
Ambitious SMEs, founders, and enterprise explorers.
If your roadmap mentions autonomous agents, knowledge grounding, or customer-facing copilots – but headcount charts omit dedicated platform engineers – this storyline was authored with your constraints baked in.

WHY THIS MODEL WORKS
Built for operators – not slide decks.
Euro caliber engineers
Senior cloud and ML practitioners embed alongside your PMs – bringing IaC literacy, prompt tooling discipline, and review ethics without ballooning payroll.
Measured honesty
We translate retrieval latency, token spend, and quality regressions into language CFOs and CISOs can action alongside founders.
Three doors into the same story
Advisory-only sprints, build-heavy engagements, or CAIP-first pilots—the same AI platform engineering as a service model, at the tempo you need, without rewriting vendors later.
From thesis to trunk-ready workflows.
We obsess over narratives procurement can defend – not novelty demos detached from billing realities.
AI platform engineering as a service is the thread: an Austrian-founded advisory studio merging CFO-grade economics with ML-era tooling—embeddings catalogs, evaluation suites, progressive rollout controls—the scaffolding SMEs outsource instead of cloning hyperscaler staffing tables.

THE TEAM
Serious builders. Austria HQ. European mesh.
Principal engineers, ML practitioners, and strategists who translate embeddings economics into narratives CFOs fund – without insisting every SME replicate hyperscaler hiring ladders.
We draw on a network of 70+ contractors and freelancers – cloud architects, developers, and specialists across Europe. This enables maximum scalability: we ramp up teams when you need them and deliver at the pace your projects require.

HOW THE ENGAGEMENT RUNS
Discovery → blueprint → shipped workloads.
Each sprint exposes sharper hypotheses about retrieval fidelity, latency envelopes, and cost envelopes – not ambiguous AI optimism.
Setup Discovery MeetingDiscovery Meeting
We learn about your goals, challenges, and technical landscape. No obligation – just an open exchange.
Solution Presentation
We propose architectures tying embeddings stores, orchestration, observability, and procurement dashboards – not slideware disconnected from Terraform realities.
Proposal & Planning
Clear scope, timeline, and commercial terms. We align on milestones before we start.
Implementation
Engineers pair-program integrations, CI/CD lanes, and LLMOps safeguards – with demos rooted in logged prompts and retrieval citations.
Support & Iteration
We stay with you: launch support, optimization, and continuous improvement.

Explore CAIPWe automated document processing in days, not months. CAIP's agents handle our invoices and contracts – no infrastructure to build, no compliance headaches.
The AI agents are production-ready from day one. We configured our support workflow in the dashboard and went live the same week.
Monthly subscription, no lock-in. We started with one agent, scaled to five. CAIP grows with us.
