The Challenge

Starfish Space, a visionary aerospace startup, is pioneering autonomous satellite servicing to unlock a boundless off-world economy. Their mission faced several challenges:

  • Disconnected DevOps teams: Collaboration was essential for rapid innovation.

  • Atlassian Suite: Tailored Jira Software, Confluence, and GitLab for secure collaboration and code management.
  • Ongoing Support: Training, security monitoring, maintenance, operations, and data management ensured peak performance.
