Environments

Your accounts.Your keys.From day one.

Everything we build lives in your world and belongs to you from the first line - nothing locked away, nothing to claw back. Here's exactly where code lives and how infra is billed.

01The standard

One way of working. Everywhere.

The same repository, branch, review, and secrets discipline on every pod - then a choice of where the infrastructure lives.
01

Yours from the first line

Code lives in your GitHub or GitLab, in your accounts. Feature branches, then a PR, then Technical Lead review against your standards, then merge. No direct pushes to protected branches - and you never wonder if the code is any good.

02

CI gates on every PR

Lint, typecheck, tests, and build run before anything merges. We help wire it up if it isn’t already there.

03

Secrets, never in chat

Secrets live in your secret manager - or, in K15 Labs-managed environments, in audit-logged K15 Labs secret stores. Never in your code. Never in chat.

04

Owned by you, day one

Every line we write is yours from the moment it is created, in your accounts - no payment trigger, no transfer step. The IP / Ownership clause spells out the wording, readable on the legal hub.

02Two options

Your cloud. Or ours.

Same code, same deployment path, same transparency. The only choice is who owns and pays for the infrastructure.
Option A

Your cloud

Infra lives in your AWS / GCP / Azure / Vercel accounts. We operate inside it.

Ownership
You own the accounts. You pay providers directly.
Setup
We work with your existing IAM and policies.
Audit
Full provider-level audit trail in your account.
Exit
No migration. Access is revoked at engagement end.

Best if you already have a mature cloud setup, security requirements, or compliance mandates.

Option B · Pass-through

Ours, at cost

K15 Labs provisions and pays the cloud provider. We invoice it back at cost - no markup, ever.

Ownership
K15 Labs owns the infra account; you own the code.
Billing
Itemized monthly invoice - service, units, unit cost, total.
Setup
Fast. Vetted templates, existing K15 Labs organization.
Exit
Documented handover: accounts, IaC, secrets, runbooks.

Best if you want to move fast, don’t have an in-house DevOps function yet, or want one invoice covering infra and the pod.

03Side by side

The honest comparison.

No marketing slant. The trade-offs each option actually creates - so you can pick in one read.

Ownership

Your cloud

You own the infra and the cloud account.

K15 Labs-managed

K15 Labs owns and operates the infra; you own the code.

Cloud bill

Your cloud

You pay your cloud provider directly.

K15 Labs-managed

K15 Labs pays the provider. We invoice back at cost - no markup.

Transparency

Your cloud

You see provider invoices directly.

K15 Labs-managed

Itemized monthly statement: line per service, units, unit cost, total.

Setup speed

Your cloud

Slower if cloud governance is still being set up.

K15 Labs-managed

Fast - provisioned into an existing K15 Labs organization with templates.

Exit path

Your cloud

Already in your accounts - no migration needed.

K15 Labs-managed

Documented handover: accounts, IaC, secrets, runbooks transferred to your team.

04The shape

One deployment path. Either cloud.

The architecture is identical in both options - only who pays the bill changes. Nothing ships without review and green CI.
  1. Your code
    You own this
  2. Review
    Your standards
  3. CI gates
    Lint · tests · build
  4. Staging
    Verified first
  5. Production
    Shipped
Your cloud

Your code, CI, and all environments live in your accounts. You pay providers directly and keep the full audit trail.

K15 Labs-managed · pass-through

Your code stays in your accounts; CI and environments run inside K15 Labs cloud accounts. We invoice infra back at cost.
