Capability
Cloud architecture & operations
Infrastructure is doing its job when nobody talks about it. We aim for the boring version: deployments that do not require a brave person, and a bill that holds no surprises.
Signs this is the right fit
You probably recognise at least one of these.
- Deployments happen on Friday only if someone is feeling brave.
- Your cloud bill grew steadily and nobody can attribute the increase.
- When something breaks at night, finding out requires a customer to tell you.
How we run it
From releases that need a brave person, to ones nobody notices.
-
01
Review
What runs where today, what it costs, and which parts nobody dares to touch.
-
02
Automate
Builds, tests and deployments that run identically every time, including the rollback.
-
03
Observe
Metrics and alerts on the things that actually indicate trouble, so alarms stay meaningful.
-
04
Tune
Capacity and spend adjusted against real usage rather than against the original estimate.
The last step feeds the first — this runs as a loop, not a one-way handover.
Scope
What this includes.
-
Cloud architecture
Sized for the load you actually have, with room for the load you expect.
-
Deployment automation
Releases that run the same way every time, with a clear way back if one does not.
-
Monitoring & alerting
Alerts that fire on real problems, so nobody learns to ignore them.
-
Cost optimisation
Finding what you pay for and no longer use, then shutting it down safely.
What you end up with
Handed over, not hinted at.
- Infrastructure defined as code, so the setup is reviewable and repeatable
- A deployment pipeline with a rollback path that has actually been tested
- Monitoring and alerting tuned to reduce noise rather than to cover everything
- A cost breakdown by service, with the unused parts identified
Typical toolkit
What we reach for here.
Tools we use regularly for this kind of work. The right choice still depends on what you already run.
- Docker
- Terraform
- GitHub Actions
- AWS
- Google Cloud
- Prometheus & Grafana
Before you ask
The questions that come up every time.
Do we have to move to a different provider?
Rarely. Most of what is currently painful comes from how releases are deployed and watched, not from which provider's logo is on the invoice.
Can you migrate us without downtime?
In most cases yes, though it costs more than a planned window. We price both so the trade-off is yours to make.
Who runs it afterwards?
Your team, with documentation written for that purpose. We stay on for support where it makes sense, but never as a dependency you cannot leave.
