France · sovereignty-first technology consulting
Architecture, engineering and audit for platforms you truly own.
Irvyne Consulting is a French technology consultancy: architecture, engineering, audit and cloud, with a sovereignty focus. We design and run platforms on European infrastructure or your own hardware, to the highest standard we know, and we operate ICR, ephemeral CI runners on hardware we own.
Services
Consulting, engineering and audit, all the way to production.
Missions are scoped and priced per engagement: a review, a target design, a platform built and handed over, or an operations mandate.
Architecture & audit
An independent review and a target design of your cloud, Kubernetes, data and AI platforms: what to keep, what to replace, what it costs, and how you leave a provider if you must.
- Architecture reviews and target-state designs
- Security, cost and reversibility audits
- Hyperscaler exit and hybrid plans
- Written decisions your team can act on
Platform & DevOps engineering
Kubernetes, GitOps, observability, identity and secrets, delivered as a product your developers trust: from a bare account to a platform that ships every day.
- Kubernetes on Scaleway, OVHcloud, Proxmox or bare metal
- Flux GitOps, Helm charts, progressive delivery
- Grafana, Prometheus, Loki and Tempo
- Identity, zero-trust networking, SOPS secrets
Sovereign cloud & infrastructure
European providers, your own hardware or both: data residency, encryption with keys you hold and reversibility designed in from the first diagram, not bolted on.
- Scaleway, OVHcloud, bare metal, Proxmox
- Data residency and GDPR by design
- Encryption and key ownership
- An exit plan in every design
AI platform engineering
Self-hosted inference that fits your budget and your compliance: vLLM serving on European or on-premises GPUs, retrieval pipelines, evaluation loops and tracing of every prompt.
- vLLM serving on your GPUs
- Retrieval pipelines and vector stores
- Langfuse tracing and evaluations
- Cost and latency engineering
Sovereignty
Sovereignty, concretely.
Not a flag on a slide: three questions we answer in writing for every platform we design or run.
Where it runs
European providers or hardware you own, under European law. When a hyperscaler is the right tool, we say so and write down how you leave it.
Who holds the keys
Encryption with keys you control, identities you own, secrets you can rotate without asking anyone. Nothing in the design is a black box to your team.
How you leave
Open formats, GitOps repositories you own, no proprietary control plane. Every engagement ends with a platform your team can run without us.
Product
ICR, a service we run on hardware we own.
ICR — Irvyne Consulting Runners
GitHub Actions runners on dedicated AMD EPYC hardware in France. One fresh virtual machine per job, destroyed when the job ends. A contracted service, in early access with a first customer.
- One VM per job, destroyed with its disk after the job
- Nothing inbound: the runners call GitHub, GitHub never calls you
- Sizes 2, 4 and 8 vCPU with 4 GiB of memory per vCPU
- Fallback to GitHub-hosted runners is one variable
Who
One engineer, accountable end to end.
Irvyne Consulting is run by Thibaud Bardin, an architect and platform engineer who audits, designs, builds and operates the cloud, Kubernetes, observability, identity and AI-serving stacks of software companies, and who runs ICR on hardware he owns in France. You work with the person who does the work.
