NixOS Consulting
for Industrial & Cloud
We specialize in declarative, high-assurance Linux and NixOS systems for industrial environments. Our NixOS consulting services align product requirements with upstream Open Source leadership, so your platform becomes a manageable, high-performance engine for growth, security, and predictable delivery.
What You Get
A Practical NixOS Consulting Service, End to End
You get a senior engineering partner who treats NixOS as product infrastructure, not a toy. We start with your constraints (certification, long-lived hardware, regulated environments, air-gapped builds), then design a minimal, auditable system architecture that your team can own.
Our consulting includes reference modules, reproducible build pipelines, and a clear path from prototype to production. We focus on measurable outcomes: shorter build times, smaller attack surfaces, faster deployments, and lower maintenance risk over the full product lifecycle.
Whether you ship embedded devices, industrial controllers, or secure internal services, we connect NixOS capabilities to the realities of your business. That means documentation your teams will use, automation they will trust, and infrastructure that scales without surprises.
Our Main Pillars
Industrial NixOS &
Embedded Systems
Modernize your software stack. We help organizations migrate from legacy Yocto environments to the power of NixOS, achieving faster builds, immutable system images, and reliable over-the-air (OTA) updates.
- Yocto to NixOS Migration
- Immutable A/B Partitions
- Hardened Embedded Images
- OTA with systemd-sysupdate
Secure Software
Supply Chain
Security by design, not by accident. We implement build infrastructure that provides absolute proof of provenance, automated SBOM generation, and cryptographically verified binaries.
- Provenance & Attestation
- Automated SBOM Workflows
- Hydra & Forge Integration
- Air-Gapped Build Clusters
Product Validation
& Testing
As the primary maintainers of the NixOS test driver, we help organizations build automated validation suites that prove product integrity at every commit, across entire networks of virtual machines
- NixOS Test Driver Strategy
- Distributed Integration Tests
- Fast CI Feedback Loops
- Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
How We Work
Discovery, Design, Delivery
Discovery & Risk Mapping
We review your current platform, constraints, and release goals. Then we identify the highest-risk areas: supply-chain gaps, brittle build steps, non-reproducible artifacts, and missing test coverage.
Architecture & Implementation
We design NixOS modules, build graphs, and deployment flows that match your operational realities. You get clear interfaces, reproducible builds, and a migration plan that reduces downtime.
Enablement & Handover
We train your engineers, document decisions, and transfer ownership. If you want ongoing support, we stay engaged as upstream contributors and advisors.
The Methodology
The Economic Advantage
of Upstream Leadership
We don't just use Open Source; we help steer it. Our role as active maintainers of core NixOS components allows us to act as a strategic bridge between your industrial requirements and the global community.
By aligning your technical challenges with upstream development, we help you reduce long-term maintenance debt. We transform your infrastructure from a black box dependency into a manageable, high-performance asset that leverages the security and innovation of the entire Nix ecosystem.
Specialized Expertise
Nix Strategy & Training
High-ROI knowledge transfer tailored to your organization. We offer customized workshops via Nixcademy that ensure your team is proficient from day one.
Container Engineering
Build smaller, more secure Docker images without Docker. We use Nix to produce distroless, reproducible containers complete with SBOM attestation.
macOS / nix-darwin
Unify your developer experience. We bring declarative configuration to macOS using nix-darwin, ensuring consistent environments across your entire fleet.
FAQ
Is NixOS a fit for safety-critical or regulated environments?
Yes. Reproducible builds, immutable images, and provenance tracking make audits easier. We help you design the compliance story and provide evidence artifacts like SBOMs and attestations.
Can you work with our existing Yocto or Debian-based platform?
Absolutely. We typically migrate in phases: first the build pipeline, then system images, and finally on-device update mechanisms to minimize risk.
Do you offer long-term support?
We can provide ongoing advisory support or partner with your internal team. Our goal is to leave you with a maintainable system you fully understand.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Most engagements start with a short discovery phase, followed by a focused implementation sprint. We then deliver training and documentation to ensure internal ownership.
