Cloud and DevOps

Cloud infrastructure and deployments you do not have to think about

We set up infrastructure as code, delivery pipelines, monitoring and security on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and we tune what you spend on it. Everything is documented and kept in your accounts, so your team can run it without us.

What we do

Cloud and DevOps work we take on

Cloud setup and migration

Accounts, networks and services set up properly on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, and workloads moved over with a tested rollback plan.

CI/CD pipelines

Every merge tested, built and deployed automatically, with staged releases and one-step rollback.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform for everything, reviewed in pull requests, so any environment can be rebuilt from scratch in an afternoon.

Monitoring and alerting

Dashboards, logs, traces and alerts that tell the right person about a real problem, and stay quiet otherwise.

Security and compliance

Least-privilege access, secrets management, encryption, backups and the evidence auditors ask for.

Cost optimization

Idle and oversized resources removed, commitments bought where they pay off, and a monthly budget alert.

Delivery

A release pipeline that makes deploying boring

Teams that deploy often break less, because each change is small and easy to roll back. We build the pipeline so a release is a merge, not an event.

The platform

What a well-run cloud setup includes

Five layers, each with a clear owner and each defined in code. We fill the gaps you have and leave alone the parts that already work.

Our team includes Hadiyah S., who leads DevOps, working with the engineers who build your application, so infrastructure and code are designed together.

How an engagement runs

From review to a platform your team owns

  1. Review

    1 to 2 weeks

    Architecture, security, reliability and cost reviewed, with a prioritized list of fixes.

  2. Foundations

    2 to 4 weeks

    Accounts, networking, access and Terraform set up as the base for everything else.

  3. Pipelines

    2 to 4 weeks

    CI/CD, environments and staged releases for each application.

  4. Observability

    1 to 3 weeks

    Dashboards, alerts, runbooks and on-call rotation.

  5. Handover or run

    Ongoing

    Your team takes over with training and docs, or we stay on a support plan.

Questions

Cloud and DevOps FAQ

AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?

Whichever your team and your existing contracts point to. All three are mature. We work in all of them and would rather build well on the one you already use than move you for the sake of it.

Can you reduce our cloud bill?

Usually. The common savings are idle and oversized resources, missing reserved or committed-use pricing, chatty data transfer and logs nobody reads. We start with a cost review and show the expected saving for each change before making it.

What does infrastructure as code mean for us?

Your servers, networks, databases and permissions are defined in files kept in git, usually with Terraform. Every change is reviewed like code, environments can be rebuilt from scratch, and nothing depends on one person remembering which button they clicked.

How do deployments work after you are done?

Merging to the main branch runs the tests, builds the release and deploys it to staging. Production deploys go out in stages with automatic rollback if error rates rise. Your team can run it all without us.

Do you provide on-call support?

Yes, as part of a support plan. We set up monitoring and alerting first, agree response times for each severity, and write runbooks so whoever is on call knows what to do.

Can you help us meet security or compliance requirements?

Yes. We set up least-privilege access, encryption, backups, audit logging and vulnerability scanning, and help you produce the evidence a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 auditor will ask for. We are not auditors ourselves.
