FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERING
Israel's local partner for the FDE wave.
The production backbone that makes lab-led AI deployments land – and keep running.
Locally embedded. Already shipping. Built to plug into your FDE motion.
WHY DEVELEAP
The FDE arc has two halves.
We're built for the second one.
FDE programs are funded to scale faster than any single organization can hire. In markets where deployment happens in the customer’s language, inside the customer’s team, that gap is filled by local partners – or not at all.
The labs bring the models, the methodology, and the agent frameworks. Turning that into a system that survives launch week – integration, pipelines, security, cost, Day-2 operations – is where a local delivery partner creates leverage. We’ve been building that layer since 2014.
01
The production layer
Your FDEs define what good looks like. Our Pods carry it into production and keep it there.
- Kubernetes & cloud-native depth
- Agentic CI/CD pipelines & FinOps
- Policy-as-code, secrets, license compliance
- A deep, working SRE practice
02
Embedded in Israel
The country’s largest DevOps and Cloud professional-services practice, with the local footprint an FDE program needs to scale beyond its own headcount.
- 120+ Israeli customers across the stack
- Commercial, financial, medical, telecom, cyber
- Hebrew-speaking delivery, inside the customer’s team
- AWS Premier Partner
03
Pods, not lone heroes
The full FDE arc – from “what problem are we solving” to “running daily in production” – is more than one person’s job. We deliver it as a three-role Pod, trained in-house through our FDE Academy.
- FDE Lead – engagement-level ownership
- FDE Engineer – build, integrate, deploy
- Solution Architect – model & agent depth
- Internal Academy with shadowing & coaching
WHERE WE PLUG IN
We complete the arc your FDEs start.
An FDE engagement runs from discovery to Day-2 operations. Here’s how a develeap Pod slots into each phase of a lab-led deployment.
PHASE 01
Understand workflows & users
Lab-led: Your FDE leads discovery
develeap Pod: AI Gap Analysis methodology & local context
PHASE 02
Identify highest-value use cases
Lab-led: Model & agent strategy
develeap Pod: Structured AI-adoption assessment, from first automation to autonomous workflows
PHASE 03
Build POCs of priority workflows
Lab-led: Agent design & prompting
develeap Pod: Agentic developer-workflow pilots, hands-on build
PHASE 04
Move POCs to production
Lab-led: Architecture guidance
develeap Pod (Core): agentic CI/CD pipelines & DevOps backbone
PHASE 05
Connect AI to data, tools, processes
Lab-led: API & model expertise
develeap Pod (Core): cloud + DevOps integration
PHASE 06
Keep it running
Lab-led: Escalation & model updates
develeap Pod (Core): SRE practice, agentic pipelines, FinOps
WHAT WE ADD
What a local partner adds to a lab-led deployment.
Production Kubernetes & cloud-native
A track record of running real workloads at scale – the layer that turns a successful pilot into a deployed system.
Agentic CI/CD & FinOps
Pipelines built for AI workloads: license compliance, secrets, policy-as-code, cost governance.
A working autonomous-delivery thesis
Dark Titan – our pipeline engine for agentic workflows – is a shipped product, in use today. We deploy AI the way we advise customers to.
120+ Israeli customers
A mid-market base early in its AI adoption curve – exactly the segment FDE programs are funded to reach, and the hardest to reach from abroad.
Hebrew-speaking, locally embedded
Pods that sit inside Israeli teams, in the language of the room, with the cultural fluency to land change management.
FDE Academy
An internal pipeline producing FDE Leads and AI Specialists from senior DevOps engineers – so Pod capacity scales without diluting quality.
HOW A LAB WORKS WITH US
One deployment. A Pod on the ground.
A solo engineer can’t credibly carry the full FDE arc — from “what problem are we solving” through “running daily in production.” A three-role Pod can. We scale by adding Pods, not by stretching individuals.
01
Your FDE leads. Our Pod delivers.
Your team owns the account relationship, the model strategy, and the definition of success. Our Pod owns integration, production hardening, and Day-2 operations – reporting into your engagement lead.
02
Capacity you don’t have to hire.
There are 99+ open FDE-profile roles in Tel Aviv today. The market needs more delivery capacity than any single organization can hire this year. Our Academy-trained Pods are that capacity – available now, in-market.
03
A segment you won’t staff yourself.
Israeli mid-market deployments are too local, too Hebrew, and too numerous for a lab-employed FDE bench. They’re exactly what we do.
04
Start small, scale by Pod.
One deployment proves the model. We scale by adding Pods, not by stretching individuals.
BY THE NUMBERS
Built since 2014 - at the speed AI deployment now demands.
120+
