The Factory sets up and staffs DevOps teams for organisations across the Netherlands and beyond. Our engineers work next to your developers and operators to remove the wall between them — building CI/CD pipelines, shipping Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible, and applying cloud automation end-to-end so your platform scales without scaling the team.
DevOps here means paved roads, sensible defaults, and pipelines that stay trustworthy after auditors and incidents ask questions: not toolchain theatre.
Three things we treat as first-class on every engagement: not as nice-to-haves.
Fast, deterministic CI/CD with proper testing, artifact promotion, and security gates. The pipeline is the contract: if it passes, you can ship.
Infrastructure, configuration, policies, runbooks: in Git, peer-reviewed, deployed by the same pipelines. Drift becomes the exception, not the rule.
Paved roads for product teams: with sensible defaults for observability, security, and cost. Easier to follow than to ignore.
Pipelines, IaC, runbooks: written by the engineers who later sit next to your team in stand-up.
ISO 9001, ISO 27001, NEN 4400-1. Supply-chain integrity, image scanning, and secret hygiene aren't optional.
We can run your platform 24/7: or hand it back to your team with documentation and runbooks they will actually use.
The Factory is a Dutch cloud consultancy based in Rijswijk (Zuid-Holland). We work with organisations across the Randstad (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Eindhoven), and with customers elsewhere in the European Union. Our architects and platform engineers operate in Dutch and English, with experience on AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments.
Mostly mid-size and enterprise organisations across the Netherlands: in financial services, public sector, healthcare, education, industry, and SaaS. Engagements range from a short cloud assessment to long-running managed cloud operations.

The point isn’t novelty. The point is that two years in, the platform still makes sense to the people running it. Read about our engineering culture
