Modern software systems fail most often at the infrastructure and deployment layer — not in business logic.
Platonic.Systems provides NixOS consulting for organizations that need reproducible, auditable, and reliable infrastructure. We help teams eliminate configuration drift, reduce deployment risk, and build systems that behave the same way every time — across environments and over time.
We model your entire system — servers, services, dependencies, and configuration — as code. This ensures your infrastructure is: Predictable, Version-controlled & Fully reproducible
Using Nix and NixOS, we ensure development, staging, and production environments behave identically. This dramatically reduces deployment failures and debugging time.
NixOS enables precise control over dependencies and system state. This makes it ideal for regulated industries, security-conscious teams, and systems requiring compliance or traceability.
If you’re running legacy or manually managed systems, we help migrate to NixOS incrementally — without unnecessary downtime or risky rewrites.
Platonic.Systems is our go-to developer partner when we need to solve complex and complicated use cases. They truly add a tremendous amount of value during use case development and proof of concept iterations that have helped us advance with our computer vision and machine learning opportunities.
Our NixOS consulting is part of a broader, correctness-focused DevOps strategy. We combine infrastructure as code, automated CI/CD pipelines, functional programming principles, and strong guarantees around system behavior.
We tailor engagements to your needs: infrastructure assessment and redesign, hands-on implementation, CI/CD pipeline integration, and team onboarding. We work alongside your engineers or lead delivery end-to-end.
Ideal for startups scaling complex systems, engineering teams tired of fragile DevOps setups, financial and regulated organizations, and companies that value correctness and reproducibility.
Nix is a purely functional package manager; NixOS is a Linux distribution built entirely on Nix principles. NixOS consulting means helping organizations adopt this ecosystem — designing declarative infrastructure, migrating existing systems, building reproducible development environments, and training teams on Nix workflows.
The Nix ecosystem has a steep learning curve but delivers significant returns: truly reproducible builds, atomic system upgrades with instant rollback, and infrastructure defined as code that actually behaves the same everywhere. A consultant accelerates adoption and helps you avoid common pitfalls.
Projects with complex dependencies, multi-environment deployments, or strict reproducibility requirements. Scientific computing, blockchain systems, financial services, and any team tired of "dependency hell" or deployment surprises. If environment consistency matters to you, Nix is worth investigating.
Yes. We can integrate with your current workflows incrementally — starting with development environments, then CI/CD, then production infrastructure. Training and pair programming help your team build Nix expertise over time rather than creating consultant dependency.
Nix is a functional language, and the Nix ecosystem shares DNA with functional programming: immutability, declarative specifications, composability. Haskell projects particularly benefit from Nix because of excellent tooling support. See our Haskell consulting and functional programming pages.
Finance and fintech (reproducibility for audits), blockchain (Cardano ecosystem uses Nix extensively), scientific computing (reproducible research), defense and aerospace (high-assurance systems), and any software company scaling complex infrastructure. We've worked with clients across these sectors.

Yes. You don't have to rewrite everything. Nix can wrap existing systems, manage specific components, or handle just your development environments initially. Incremental adoption is the typical path — proving value in one area before expanding.
Absolutely. Starting with Nix means building reproducible infrastructure from day one rather than accumulating tech debt to fix later. Early-stage companies benefit from predictable deployments and development environments that scale with the team.
For us, Nix IS DevOps. Our DevOps services are built on Nix and NixOS. The declarative infrastructure approach means your DevOps practices gain reproducibility, auditability, and rollback safety that traditional tools struggle to provide.
