About RDG Engineering

We’re an independent software engineering studio focused on building resilient, secure products. Our teams blend product thinking with platform expertise to deliver results you can measure—lower MTTR, faster lead time for changes, and higher customer satisfaction.

  • Architecture that scales

    Event-driven and microservice designs with clear bounded contexts, clean contracts, and evolutionary roadmaps.

  • Developer experience (DX)

    Golden paths, internal platforms, and tooling that make shipping software boring—in a good way.

  • Observability & reliability

    End-to-end tracing, SLOs with error budgets, and automated runbooks so incidents become learning loops.

We prefer simple over clever, and we automate what we repeat. Most of our work ships with IaC, CI/CD, and security controls as code so your team owns the future.

What We Build

Platform & APIs

Design and implementation of service platforms, REST/GraphQL APIs, and shared libraries in Go, Python, and TypeScript with strong contracts and versioning.

Learn More

Cloud-Native Delivery

Kubernetes, autoscaling, and progressive delivery (blue/green, canary) with Helm, Argo Rollouts, and GitOps workflows.

Learn More

DevSecOps

Threat modeling, SBOMs, SAST/DAST pipelines, secrets management, and policy-as-code (OPA) integrated into CI/CD to prevent drift.

Learn More

SRE & Observability

SLOs, alerting that respects error budgets, distributed tracing, and incident runbooks that turn outages into insights.

Learn More

Embedded & Edge

C/C++ and Rust for device control, OTA update pipelines, and secure connectivity from the edge to the cloud.

Learn More

Data & Messaging

Streaming and asynchronous patterns with Kafka/NATS, idempotent consumers, and schema governance for reliable event flows.
