Why Austin

Kubernetes consulting services
built for Austin's market

Austin is home to THNKBIG's headquarters. As the Texas tech economy has matured — Oracle, Apple, Tesla, and Meta all have significant Austin footprints — the demand for senior platform engineering has grown with it. We serve both the large enterprise campuses in the Domain and the cloud-native startups in East Austin who need Kubernetes expertise without the overhead of a big consulting firm.

FAQ

Common questions from Austin teams

Do you work with Austin startups or just enterprise?
Both. We have engagement models for Series A/B startups that need to grow their platform quickly, and enterprise programs for Austin's Fortune 500 campuses. The engineering approach is the same — we just scope the engagement to match where you are.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 5–10 business days. We start with a cloud audit, then move into sprint-based delivery.
Do we need to commit to a long-term contract?
No. We offer month-to-month engagements and fixed-scope projects. Most clients start with a 90-day pilot.
Can you work alongside our existing platform team?
Yes. We embed with your existing Jira, Slack, GitHub, and CI tooling — extending your org's capabilities without disrupting the platform you've already built.
What does a typical engagement deliver?
A 90-day pilot produces a production-ready Kubernetes platform (or AI infrastructure stack), documented runbooks, a cost reduction baseline, compliance posture, and a handover plan. We measure outcomes, not effort.
