A Cloud & DevOps team -
built for the work, not the pitch.
Diatom Labs is a cloud, DevOps, and AI engineering consultancy headquartered in Prishtina, Kosovo. A senior team with decades of combined experience, delivering for companies across North America and Europe.
We deliver the software you need.
No more, no less.
Diatom Labs designs, builds, and operates the infrastructure that serious software runs on. We have done it across regulated fintech and payments, digital-asset banking, healthcare, iGaming, and web3 - from cloud architecture and CI/CD to compliance-grade platforms under PCI-DSS and SOC 2.
We are a small, senior team by design. The people on your engagement carry decades of combined experience and a track record across 50+ companies - most of it under NDA, which is why our case studies describe the architecture without naming the client.
Every engagement is delivered AI-augmented. Our engineers work with Claude, Cursor, and our own MCP servers, agent skills, and plugins - so a focused team moves quickly without cutting corners. When AI is on your roadmap as a product surface, we build that too, with the same rigor.
We treat your infrastructure as our own, measure success in outcomes rather than hours, and document as we go. No more than you need, no less than the job requires.
Always Current
Our team holds certifications across AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and Terraform - and ships every day with Claude, Cursor, and our own MCP servers, agent skills, and plugins. We stay current so you don't have to.
Full Ownership
Your infrastructure is our responsibility. We treat your systems like our own - monitoring, optimizing, and securing proactively.
Outcome-Driven
We measure success in outcomes - reliability, deployment speed, and the results that matter to your business - not activity. Senior, AI-augmented delivery, focused on impact.
