Why Washington, D.C.

Kubernetes consulting services

Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland form the world's highest concentration of government technology. Federal agencies, defense primes like Booz Allen, SAIC, Leidos, and General Dynamics, and commercial companies with government contracts all need infrastructure that meets the strictest security standards in existence. THNKBIG specializes in government-grade Kubernetes: FedRAMP, CMMC, and IL-5/IL-6 compliance built in from the architecture phase.

FAQ

Common questions from Washington, D.C. teams

What is your experience with FedRAMP authorization?
We've designed and implemented Kubernetes platforms that achieved FedRAMP Moderate and High authorization. This includes boundary documentation, control implementation narratives, continuous monitoring pipelines, and working with 3PAOs during assessment. We understand what auditors look for and how to build infrastructure that passes.
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.
Will your team work within our existing tools and workflows?
Yes. We embed with your team using your Jira, Slack, GitHub, and CI tooling. We're an extension of your org, not a separate vendor.
