Draft
Embed / Co-Build
You have a team — we work alongside them, in your stack and your conventions, building together and leaving your people stronger.
Is this the right fit?
This is for you if:
- You have an engineering team and want expert augmentation, not a managed service.
- You want to keep ownership and build in-house capability.
- You value knowledge transfer and reusable patterns over an ongoing dependency.
If you'd rather hand operations to us, see Launch & Manage or Takeover.

We work inside your environment and your way of working — pairing with your engineers, contributing through your pipelines, and reviewing designs. We bring proven patterns and recommend improvements, but you make the calls and you own the result. We deliberately leave no lock-in.
Who owns what
| Area | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Account ownership | You |
| Building infrastructure | You, with Propel pairing |
| Deploys & operations | You |
| Standards & tooling choices | You (we advise) |
| Monitoring during the engagement | Shared |
| After the engagement | You |
How we handle each piece
- Your standards, not ours — We conform to your accounts, conventions, and pipelines. Our reusable modules are offered, never imposed.
- Co-building — Our engineers pair with yours on real work, so capability transfers as the infrastructure gets built.
- Reviews & patterns — We bring battle-tested patterns for landing zones, IaC, security, monitoring, and cost — as recommendations and code reviews your team can adopt or adapt.
- Monitoring & operations — Co-owned during the engagement; fully yours afterwards. We help you set up what you'll run.
- Knowledge transfer — The deliverable is a stronger team and documented patterns, not a service you depend on.
What you get
- Senior cloud expertise embedded in your team, on your terms.
- Infrastructure built with you, so your people can run and extend it.
- Reusable patterns and documentation that outlast the engagement.
- Zero lock-in — everything is yours, built your way.
At the end
A clean wrap-up: your team owns and operates everything, with the patterns and documentation to keep going independently. We're available for future engagements when you want us.
