About
Engineering and operations belong in the same conversation.
thenar is structured so the engineers who design a platform are the engineers who operate it.
Operating philosophy
Why we operate what we build.
Problems surface where responsibility changes hands: between an architecture group and a delivery team, or between a project and the operations organization that inherits it.
Working principles
- 01
The operating model is written with the architecture.
Ownership, runbooks, and escalation paths are part of the design deliverable.
- 02
We prefer the technology the team already runs.
A new platform enters a design only when the existing tooling cannot meet the requirement.
- 03
Documentation ships with the system.
Diagrams, module references, and runbooks are kept in the repository and updated with the code.
Presence
The firm is based in Houston and works with organizations across the United States.
