About devXY
What Motivates Us
We're driven by the vision of seamlessly integrating DevOps and Data Science at a professional level.
To achieve this, various components must work together: authentication, system libraries, IDEs, programming languages, storage, secrets, and many more.
A well-architectured and maintained environment gives analysts the power to innovate and drive business value.
Works becomes actual fun - and leads to great outcomes and an empowering team atmosphere.
The feeling of a "working" (data science) environment is a great achievement and motivates us to keep exploring and tuning existing and new tools.
We enjoy enabling people to achieve the best possible outcomes - being it with short-term expert help or long-term assistance and project contributions.
We're real experts in what we do - not a generic consulting company from round the corner.
Progressive Approach
We believe in continuous improvement, running the latest versions of tools as they become available to deliver cutting-edge solutions.
The Right Tools
We have seen many apps throughout the years and know what works and what doesn't. And which ones save you money!
Community Embracement
Most of what we do relies on free and open-source software. Besides applying it, we spent a substantial amount of time contributing FOSS projects.

Our Infrastructure
Cloud Platform
We operate our own infrastructure primarily on Hetzner Cloud, a GDPR-compliant cloud provider based in Germany. Most of our stack runs in a k3s-based self-hosted Kubernetes cluster.
Our focus is on using and improving free and open-source tools for any kind of purpose.
This approach makes us understand the tools we use in depth and allows their efficient use in external projects and environments.
Core Tools
- • Argo CD for k8s app management
- • Crow CI - our CI/CD tool
- • Forgejo - our Git platform
- • Harbor to store container images
- • Longhorn for local k8s storage provisioning
- • OpenCloud for cloud drive storage
- • WireGuard for secure networking
- • Zitadel for identity and access management
Name Origination
The name devXY combines "dev" (representing DevOps) with "XY" (symbolizing plot axes from Data Science). It's pronounced "dev-eks-why" (/dɛv ɛks waɪ/).
