# Tensure

> Tensure is a platform engineering consultancy that helps FinServ and FinTech engineering teams build internal developer platforms (IDPs). They embed with client engineering teams, design self-service infrastructure environments, and deliver a working MVP platform in 8–12 weeks. Clients include Intuit, Mailchimp, Synchrony, and Pindrop.

Tensure is not a software product. It is a professional services firm that provides hands-on platform engineering expertise. Their differentiation is industry-specific knowledge (financial services compliance: SOX, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP), speed to value (operational IDP in ~8 weeks), and a co-creation model where their engineers work alongside client teams rather than handing off deliverables.

## Core Service

- [Platform Engineering](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/platform-engineering): Tensure's primary offering. They design and build internal developer platforms that replace manual ticket-driven provisioning with self-service environments and standardized "golden paths." Deliverable is an operational MVP in 8 weeks, with phased rollout to full team adoption.

## Use Cases

- [AI-Ready Cloud Platform](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/platform-engineering-ai): Sets up secure, GPU-ready infrastructure for ML teams to train and deploy models. Covers governance, environment standardization, and scalable compute on AWS or GCP.
- [Kubernetes](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/kubernetes): Builds a consistent, production-ready Kubernetes layer that abstracts cluster complexity and gives developers reliable self-service compute.
- [GitOps](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/gitops): Implements declarative, Git-driven deployment pipelines (typically using ArgoCD) so every release is auditable, predictable, and drift-free.

## How Engagements Work

Tensure structures every engagement in three phases across 90 days. After launch, they offer a "Sustained Engineering" model — ongoing embedded engineers who continue evolving the platform.

- [Day 30 – Platform Blueprint](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/platform-engineering): Audit existing delivery and infrastructure; align engineering, security, and leadership on goals; map common workflows for golden paths.
- [Day 60 – MVP Platform](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/platform-engineering): Deploy an operational IDP on AWS or GCP reference architectures; establish infrastructure-as-code with security guardrails; create 1–2 golden paths for common workflows.
- [Day 90 – Team Onboarding](https://www.tensure.io/solutions/platform-engineering): Bring a pilot team onto the platform; iterate on developer experience; validate self-service production workflows.

## Technology Stack

Tensure works with tools clients already use and guides them toward what scales best. Core technologies in their engagements include Kubernetes, Backstage, Terraform, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Harness, Kyverno, Kratix, and HashiCorp products.
