What we actually change in production — not a newsletter.
ARTEX runs a penetration test the way a small team would: autonomous, with evidence, inside your walls. Which is why we only license it to publicly accountable organizations.
A pair of H100s does not host this model. An 8× H200 node is ~€33,900 a month; the DeepSeek API at 300 tok/s is ~€870. You buy the node because the tokens cannot leave.
Flexera’s 2026 figure is 29% wasted IaaS and PaaS. On an €8,500 bill that is €2,400 a month. Count it, including the lines you should not cut.
A handover is a pass/fail drill on production, not a folder of documents. The engagement is designed to end.
The loaded first-year cost of a hire in Spain, versus a boutique, and the cases where hiring wins. Do the arithmetic before you post the job.
Article 21 does not wait for the BOE. Detection, identity, signed artifacts, and a report the board can read without a translator.
The notice period is the last time that knowledge is free. A 30-day triage: freeze, rotate, deploy with somebody else, four runbooks.
Before we touch the rest of the system, we leave one real, reproducible path — with rollback in a single command. Every other service copies that pattern.
SLOs, error budgets and burn-rate alerting. On-call stops being a tax when every page justifies itself.
An AI gateway is not a chat box. It is keys, quotas, traces, and a switch for when the data cannot leave for a vendor.
State splitting, modules that encapsulate decisions, policy over the plan, and credentials that do not outlive the job.
Requests and limits from data, three scaling loops that ignore each other, probes that do not self-harm, and an attributable bill.
Real inventory, networking first, verified replication, and a cutover with abort criteria written in the cold. No Saturday war room.
