Rackner is proud to announce a new contract award supporting Platform One’s Party Bus, a critical Department of Defense DevSecOps platform enabling secure, resilient, and rapid software delivery across the enterprise.
Under this award, Rackner will provide DevSecOps engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and 24/7 ChatOps on-call support to help ensure the availability, security, and operational reliability of mission-critical systems. This work directly supports organizations operating in demanding, always-on environments where downtime is not an option.
Platform One’s Party Bus serves as a fully managed DevSecOps platform that allows DoD product teams to rapidly develop, deploy, and operate secure applications across multiple security levels. By leveraging hardened containers, Kubernetes, and automation-first practices, Party Bus enables teams to focus on delivering mission outcomes rather than managing infrastructure.
Rackner’s role builds on this foundation by strengthening the operational backbone of the platform. Our team will support continuous platform reliability, infrastructure automation, and incident response, ensuring systems remain stable, observable, and responsive, even under operational stress.
Modern defense missions depend on collaboration platforms and digital systems that must be available around the clock. As part of this effort, Rackner will deliver 24/7 Tier 2 and Tier 3 ChatOps support, providing rapid response, incident coordination, and operational continuity during both standard and after-hours operations.
By applying Site Reliability Engineering best practices, Rackner will help improve system resilience through proactive monitoring, automation, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement. These practices reduce operational risk, minimize downtime, and enable faster recovery when issues arise.
This award reflects Rackner’s continued commitment to mission engineering, where technical excellence is paired with a deep understanding of operational realities. Our approach emphasizes:
Secure-by-design DevSecOps practices
Automation and configuration-as-code to reduce toil and risk
Reliability engineering focused on real-world mission needs
Close collaboration with government stakeholders and platform partners
Rackner brings experience supporting complex, distributed systems where performance, security, and reliability are inseparable from mission success.
We are honored by the trust placed in Rackner and excited to support Platform One and Party Bus as they continue to enable digital transformation across the Department of Defense. Our team looks forward to delivering measurable impact from day one, keeping critical platforms running, improving resilience, and supporting the missions that depend on them.
