Mission-critical engineering, made reachable for companies that can't build it in-house.
Our mission.
Reliability Engineering Lab delivers enterprise-grade reliability engineering, DevOps, and cloud cost optimisation to Dutch SMEs by automating and productising everything. The trade-off: standardised solutions, not fully bespoke engagements. That's a deliberate choice.
Not marketing. Engineering.

Niek van Raaij
Years of experience with enterprise infrastructure and DevOps in the Netherlands' most demanding production environments. Places where 100% uptime is an SLA, not an aspiration. Before that, hands-on DevOps consulting for enterprise clients across DevOps transformation, cloud, and software engineering.
Five principles.
Automate everything
The only way to deliver enterprise quality at MKB prices.
Productise first
Standardised over bespoke. Fast over slow. Consistent over creative.
Risk alignment
We only get paid when we deliver real value.
Speed
< 3-day turnaround is a product feature, not just a metric.
Honesty
If we don't find savings, we say so. And we don't invoice.
Accepting engagements.
One intake call. 30 minutes. No prep, no pitch.
