## Case studies

- [Databricks platform administration and governance with Terraform](https://536tech.com/work/databricks-platform/): Converted an existing Databricks environment into infrastructure as code, so engineers experiment faster and request Databricks resources through pull requests.
- [Endpoint policy and Windows hardening, managed as code](https://536tech.com/work/endpoint-platform/): Made endpoint policy, Windows hardening, device provisioning, and fleet-wide patching reviewable and repeatable across the managed device estate.
- [Conditional Access changes managed through pull requests](https://536tech.com/work/conditional-access-as-code/): Converted portal-managed Conditional Access policies into Terraform so identity changes could be reviewed, approved, and traced before they reached the tenant.
- [An Azure tenant migration that turned portal config into code](https://536tech.com/work/azure-tenant-migration/): Used an acquisition-driven tenant migration to replace portal-built infrastructure with a reviewable change path that ended the portal-only process.
- [Server-build automation across Nutanix and VMware](https://536tech.com/work/server-build-automation/): Connected server delivery across Nutanix and VMware into one repeatable path spanning images, provisioning, network, inventory, and service-management handoffs.
- [A Windows image pipeline rebuilt on Packer, hardened at build time](https://536tech.com/work/windows-image-pipeline/): Rebuilt Windows Server image delivery so hardening, directory, network, and CI changes happened through one repeatable build path.

## Common questions

- What does 536 Technologies do? 536 Technologies is a Databricks platform engineering company. We assess existing platforms against the Well-Architected Framework. We put the correct configuration in version control. We establish governance and delivery controls, and we enable the client team. Azure cloud engineering and Microsoft Intune services use the same method.
- Who is this for? Leaders accountable for platform risk, budget, and team capacity, and the engineers living the day-to-day pain. A common case is an overloaded team that must keep the platform running and lacks time to improve how it changes.
- Do we have to standardize on one tool? No. Terraform and OpenTofu are common tools. APIs, CLIs, and other control surfaces are used when they fit better. Not every platform object belongs in Terraform.
- Do you take over our platform or build our product? We do not take ownership of your application, data, or AI workloads. We can provide an ongoing maintenance engagement where we own the platform engineering changes and delivery paths, allowing your team to focus on delivering business value. Contact us to discuss the right scope.
