Start from the problem
What's slowing you down?
Our website is slow.
Most slow sites carry too much: oversized images, heavy scripts, or a server far from the visitor. We measure first, cut what delays the first screen, and show you the numbers before and after.
Our cloud bill keeps growing.
Cloud bills grow from idle servers, data transfer and managed services that cost more than running your own. We trace where the money goes and move what makes sense to servers you control.
The VMware renewal hurts.
VMware's licensing changes made many renewals far more expensive. We plan the move to an open-source hypervisor, test it on copies of your machines, and switch over with a way back.
We run the business on spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets work until three people edit the same one. We turn the ones that matter into a small system with logins, history and reports, built around how your team already works.
Our app can't handle the traffic.
When traffic jumps, the database is usually the first thing to struggle. We find the slow queries, add caching where it pays and spread the load, so the site stays up on your busiest day.
We worry about attacks.
Most break-ins use old software, weak logins or open ports nobody remembers. We patch, close what isn't needed, and set up alerts and backups we test by restoring them.
We need to pick a datacenter.
Where your servers sit decides how fast your site feels and what the law asks of your data. We compare providers and regions near your users and help you choose one that fits the budget.

Our work
Products we built and still run
We build software of our own, too. We designed these three products and run the servers under them, so the advice we give is advice we follow.

From the first talk to years of running it
- 1
Listen
We talk with the people who will use the system: owners, staff and sometimes customers. You get a written summary of what we heard.
- 2
Plan
We choose the stack and the hosting, and write down scope, timeline and cost before any code is written.
- 3
Build
We build in small steps you can click through on a preview link, so there are no surprises at launch.
- 4
Run
After launch we keep it patched, monitored and backed up, or hand it to your team with the documentation.
Questions
Asked before you ask
What does Kafka.id do?
Kafka.id is a software and infrastructure consultancy. We plan, build and run websites, business systems and the servers under them, and we help companies choose hosting or leave expensive cloud setups.
Is Kafka.id related to Apache Kafka?
No. Kafka.id is a consultancy. Apache Kafka is open-source streaming software from the Apache Software Foundation, and we have no connection to it.
Do you only advise, or do you also build?
Both. Some clients want a plan they can hand to their own team. Others want us to build the system and keep it running after launch. You can start with either and change later.
How does a project start?
With a short brief on this site, then a call. We ask what you need, who will use it and what is in the way today. You get a written proposal with scope, timeline and cost before any work starts.
Can you take over a system someone else built?
Yes. We start with a review of the code and the servers, tell you what we found in plain words, and then fix, refactor or rebuild, whichever costs you less over time.
Can you work with our own developers?
Yes. We can lead the work, join your team for the hard parts, or review what your developers build. We write things down, so your team keeps the knowledge after we step back.
Tell us what you're working on.
