Data platforms engineered for enterprise scale

When data outgrows the architecture, performance drops, costs climb and AI stays stuck in pilot. We design, build and rescue the data platforms, low-latency systems and production AI infrastructure that fix it — for CTOs, CDOs and engineering leaders at data-intensive enterprises.

Sound familiar?

When data outgrows the architecture, the whole business feels it

The problems CTOs, CDOs and engineering leaders at data-intensive enterprises bring to us — usually after they have started costing real money.

Your platform slows down as data grows

Queries that took seconds now take minutes. Batch windows overrun and SLAs slip every quarter.

Compute costs are outpacing the business

Cloud and cluster bills climb faster than usage, and nobody can say exactly where the money goes.

Data is siloed and hard to trust

Every department keeps its own copy. Reports disagree and analysts spend days hunting for the right dataset.

AI initiatives stall before production

Promising models and LLM pilots that never become reliable, monitored, cost-controlled production systems.

A legacy core nobody wants to touch

Critical systems built years ago, with shrinking expertise and growing operational risk.

Real-time demands your stack wasn't built for

The business wants live decisions and instant analytics. The architecture was designed for overnight batch.

Services

Data engineering and infrastructure consulting, end to end

From an independent architecture review to hands-on delivery of the platform itself.

Architecture advisory & fractional CTO

Independent, vendor-neutral technical leadership for high-stakes data decisions, before you commit budget.

  • Target architecture and technology selection
  • Build-vs-buy and vendor due diligence
  • Scalability, resilience and cost reviews
  • Roadmaps your team can actually execute

Production AI infrastructure

We make enterprise AI work in production, even when the underlying data and infrastructure are the hard part — not just a working demo.

  • LLM and RAG workflows grounded in your enterprise data
  • Fully agentic AI systems, from single agents to multi-agent workflows
  • Agent-ready data platforms, APIs and tooling
  • Evaluation, guardrails, monitoring and cost controls
  • ML pipelines for training, features and real-time inference

High-performance & low-latency systems

Secure, fault-tolerant services engineered for high throughput and millisecond responses, in C++, Java or Python.

  • Real-time and event-driven architectures
  • Caching, precomputation and async processing
  • Complex event processing (CEP)
  • Profiling, tuning and capacity planning

Data platforms & pipelines

Lakehouses and batch or streaming pipelines that unify your data and scale to petabytes.

  • Lakehouse design and migration
  • Batch and streaming ingestion
  • Data catalogues, lineage and governance
  • Reliable in-memory analytics at terabyte scale

Modernisation & cost optimisation

Re-engineer legacy platforms for performance, maintainability and lower run cost, without a risky big-bang rewrite.

  • Platform and codebase assessment
  • Incremental, low-risk migration plans
  • Compute and storage cost reduction
  • Observability and reliability improvements

How we work

Senior expertise, without the big-consultancy overhead

A small, principal-led practice means direct access to deep expertise, faster decisions and no layers of account management.

Senior by default

No juniors learning on your budget. The engineer who scopes your project is the one who builds it.

Hands-on, not slideware

We write production code and stay accountable for outcomes, not just recommendations.

Vendor-neutral

No reseller deals or partner quotas. We recommend what fits your constraints and budget.

Built to hand over

Clear documentation and knowledge transfer, so your team owns what we build. No lock-in.

From first call to handover

  1. Discovery call

    30 minutes, free. We learn your context and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

  2. Assessment & proposal

    A short, fixed-scope review. You get findings, options and a written proposal with a clear price.

  3. Delivery

    Hands-on engineering in milestones, with weekly demos and full transparency.

  4. Handover & support

    Documentation, knowledge transfer and optional ongoing advisory.

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask

Every engagement is led hands-on by a principal engineer with over a decade of experience building data and low-latency systems in tier-1 finance and research environments. The person on your discovery call is the person who designs and builds your system. As scope grows we add vetted senior specialists, and for long-running programmes we can stand up a dedicated, cost-efficient delivery team under the same technical leadership.

Yes. Datayogi Labs Ltd is a UK limited company and we structure engagements as genuine consultancy: defined deliverables, our own methods and tooling, and a right of substitution. The status determination remains yours to make, and we are happy to work through it with you.

Yes. NDAs are standard for every engagement, and we are GDPR-aware in how we handle your data. It is also why our case studies are anonymised.

Health checks are fixed-fee, so you know the cost up front. Build engagements are priced per milestone, and advisory work runs on a monthly retainer. After a discovery call we send a written proposal with a clear scope and price.

We are vendor-neutral and work across the major clouds and open-source ecosystems. Core strengths include C++ and Java for high-performance systems; Python for data engineering and ML; lakehouse, HBase and in-memory technologies for data platforms; streaming and complex event processing; and modern ML and LLM tooling for AI workloads.

Yes, and most engagements work that way. We embed with your engineers, pair on the hard parts and leave behind documentation and skills, so your team can run and extend what we build.

We are UK-based and remote-first, with on-site time in London for workshops and key milestones. We also work with international clients across time zones.
