Services / Cloud & Platform

Cloud architectures built for uptime and unit economics.

AWS, GCP and Azure platforms designed by engineers who carry pagers. Serverless where it makes sense, containers where it does not, infrastructure-as-code throughout, and a bill your CFO can defend.

What we deliver

Everything between your domain name and your database.

We design and operate cloud platforms the way the best product teams do: opinionated defaults, paved roads for developers, and observability that actually answers the question.

Greenfield cloud architecture

Multi-account AWS, GCP or Azure landing zones. VPC design, identity, network segmentation, and a paved-road platform your engineers will actually use.

Serverless & event-driven

Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, Step Functions, SQS, SNS — composed into systems that scale to zero, not to your invoice.

Containers & Kubernetes

EKS, GKE, AKS or ECS Fargate, with sane defaults for autoscaling, secrets, ingress, observability and rollback. No yak-shaving for your team.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform / CDK / Pulumi modules, peer-reviewed, versioned in git and deployed by CI. We delete clickops on day one and never let it back in.

Observability & incident response

CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana / Loki / Tempo, OpenTelemetry — wired into runbooks, on-call rotations, and SLOs you can defend.

Security & compliance

IAM hygiene, KMS, GuardDuty, SCPs, SSO, audit logging. SOC 2-, HIPAA-, ISO 27001-aligned baselines, with the evidence to prove it at audit.

FinOps & cost engineering

Tag-based cost attribution, savings plans, rightsizing, lifecycle policies and storage tiering. Most clients see 30-50% off their bill on the first pass.

Data platforms

Postgres, RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake. Backups you have actually restored, replicas you have actually failed over to.

Hybrid & migrations

Lift-shift-modernize on a clear timeline. We migrate workloads off legacy data centres or out of the wrong cloud without breaking the business.

How we engage

A platform you can ship on, not a slide deck.

01

Architecture review

Two-week audit of your accounts, networks, data flows, costs and on-call posture. We deliver a written plan with prioritised work, effort estimates and quick wins.

02

Foundation build

Landing zones, identity, IaC modules, CI/CD pipelines and observability baselines. The platform is in place before product workloads land on it.

03

Migrate or modernize

Workload by workload, with rollback plans and SLO targets. We track every move in a public dashboard so leadership knows exactly where the migration stands.

04

Operate & optimize

Optional managed pod that owns on-call, cost engineering, security patching and platform improvements — with a monthly written report.

Why teams choose us

Senior people. Honest scope. Software you can run on.

Engineers who carry pagers

Every architect on this team has run production at 3am. We design for the system you have to live with, not the diagram on the slide.

Boring tech, well done

We will pick Postgres before we pick the new toy. The cleverness goes into the design, not into adopting the conference talk of the month.

Cost is a feature

We track cloud spend the same way we track latency: with budgets, alerts and weekly reviews. Cheap to run is part of "done".

FAQ

Questions we hear often.

Do you work in all three clouds?

Yes — AWS is our largest practice, but we have shipped real workloads on GCP and Azure too. We will tell you honestly which cloud fits your situation, even if the answer is "stay where you are".

Can you take over an existing AWS account?

Yes. We start with a written audit, a remediation plan and a transition timeline. We can run alongside your team or fully own the platform under a managed engagement.

How do you handle compliance frameworks?

We use baseline IaC modules aligned with SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 controls, plus audit-ready logging. Your auditor gets evidence; your engineers get paved roads.

Will Kubernetes really make my life easier?

Sometimes. For most early-stage teams, ECS Fargate or serverless beats Kubernetes on every axis. We will recommend k8s when the workload genuinely needs it, not because it sounds modern.

Do you provide 24/7 on-call?

Yes, as part of our managed engineering offering. You get a senior responder, a runbook, an SLA and a post-incident write-up after every page.

How is pricing structured?

Architecture review is fixed price. Build is a small monthly pod with a hard ceiling. Managed engineering is a flat monthly retainer with an explicit on-call SLA.
