About obtimal

A Melbourne-based cloud & AI studio built for pragmatic engineers.

Who we are

We're a small, focused studio that helps product teams ship better cloud and AI software - faster and with less waste. We care deeply about clean architectures, friendly developer experience, and outcomes that actually move the needle.

What we do

  • AWS CDK & platform engineering - reusable IaC constructs, multi-account landing zones, and self-service developer platforms.
  • DevSecOps pipelines - secure CI/CD from day one, with SAST, secrets scanning, and policy-as-code baked in.
  • Observability - end-to-end visibility with OpenTelemetry, ADOT, Amazon Managed Prometheus, and Grafana.
  • FinOps & cost controls - right-sizing, tagging strategies, and budget guardrails so cloud spend stays predictable.

Our approach

We favour boring, proven technology over hype. We document as we build. We measure outcomes - deploy frequency, MTTR, cloud spend - not just activity. And we leave every codebase cleaner than we found it.
