Cloud and DevOps
Good infrastructure is unremarkable. Deployments happen without drama, problems are visible before customers report them, and restoring from backup is a rehearsed procedure rather than a hope. That is what we aim for.
The problem
Situations this service addresses
If more than one of these sounds familiar, this is usually the right place to start.
Deployments are manual, happen late at night and occasionally break production.
Nobody is certain whether backups actually restore.
The first sign of an outage is a phone call from a customer.
Cloud spending grows every month and no one can explain which service is responsible.
Capabilities
What we can design, build and support
Cloud architecture design and migration planning
CI/CD pipelines for build, test and deployment
Environment management for development, staging and production
Monitoring, logging and alerting with meaningful thresholds
Backup strategy and tested recovery procedures
Performance tuning and cost review
Business value
What this work is intended to change
Written as intentions rather than promises. We do not quote guaranteed savings, revenue increases or delivery times we cannot support.
Predictable releases
Automated pipelines make deployment a repeatable operation, which lowers the risk attached to shipping a change.
Shorter incidents
Monitoring and clear runbooks are intended to reduce the time between something going wrong and someone knowing where to look.
Visible spending
Tagging and review make cloud costs attributable, so decisions about scaling are informed.
Typical deliverables
- Infrastructure diagram and written architecture decisions
- Infrastructure-as-code definitions kept in your repository
- CI/CD pipeline with automated checks before deployment
- Monitoring dashboards and alert routing
- Backup and recovery procedure, with a documented restore test
- Cost review with prioritised optimisation options
Security and quality considerations
- Secrets live in a managed secret store, never in a repository or an image.
- Access follows least privilege, and administrative accounts are separated from day-to-day accounts.
- Restore procedures are tested, because an untested backup is an assumption.
- Infrastructure changes go through the same review process as application code.
Technologies we commonly use
- AWS
- Google Cloud
- Azure
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- GitHub Actions and GitLab CI
- Prometheus and Grafana
Delivery process
How the work runs
The same five stages apply across services. Depth varies with the size of the engagement; the sequence does not.
- 01
Discover
Understand the operation before proposing anything.
- Interviews with the people who perform the work daily
- Review of existing systems, data and integrations
- Constraints recorded honestly — budget, timeline, team capacity
- 02
Define
Turn findings into a scope that can be costed and agreed.
- Written requirements with clear boundaries
- Success criteria agreed before development begins
- Sequenced releases rather than one large delivery
- 03
Design
Shape the experience and the architecture together.
- Interface design reviewed with real users where possible
- Data model, integrations and access control designed up front
- Security and privacy decisions recorded as part of the design
- 04
Develop
Build in short iterations with something reviewable each time.
- Code review and automated testing on critical paths
- Regular demonstrations instead of a single reveal
- Documentation written alongside the code, not afterwards
- 05
Improve
Release, observe and refine based on real use.
- Monitoring and error reporting configured before launch
- Post-release review of what usage actually shows
- Planned maintenance for dependencies and security updates
