What INSAR LTD delivers

Hands-on engineering across the whole delivery chain — application code, pipelines, infrastructure and security.

DevSecOps & Security Automation

Security built into the SDLC, not bolted on: SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, container scanning with Trivy, secret management and infrastructure security automation.

Cloud Infrastructure

Design, automation and hardening across AWS (EC2, ECR, ECS/EKS, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway), Google Cloud GKE, Hetzner Cloud Kubernetes and bare metal — codified with Terraform and Ansible.

Platform Engineering

Shared Kubernetes platforms built with Docker, Helm and secure GitOps on ArgoCD — reusable pipeline templates and self-service deployments so product teams ship on a high-availability foundation.

DevOps & CI/CD

Automated build, test, scan and deploy pipelines on Jenkins, GitHub Actions (including self-hosted runners) and GitLab CI.

Event-Driven Architecture

High-throughput, high-load data processing on distributed messaging platforms — Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ.

Full-Stack Development

Enterprise Java back-ends, Angular single-page applications in TypeScript, Node.js, PHP (Drupal custom modules and themes, Symfony) and Python.
