Valtech and Cloud Engineering
Valtech is a leading global agency in the business of digital transformation. We help our client to transform their business into a true digital experience. In this mission we design, build and run large scale global experience and commerce platforms in co-creation and co-operation with our clients. Experience and commerce platforms have drastically evolved over the last years in complex eco systems that tie together multiple services of multiple vendors – also known as MACH or composable architecture. As founding member of MACH Alliance, a group that educates enterprises on best-of-breed Microservices, APIs, Cloud, and Headless (MACH) technology, Valtech pioneers in how to properly build and manage those complex eco systems. Site reliability engineering is at the core of our vision how this modern day distributed eco system should and can be managed.
