Cloud & infrastructure
Infrastructure that does not page you at 2am. We design, migrate and operate cloud environments sized for the load you have rather than the load a vendor wants to sell you. A lot of that work is taking things out, because every extra moving part is one more thing that can fail overnight.
AWS, GCP and Azure migration
Lift-and-shift, re-platform or rebuild, decided per workload rather than for the whole estate at once. The plan names what moves first, what stays behind on purpose, and how you roll back if the cutover goes wrong. We run cutovers while your team is awake.
CI/CD pipelines and DevOps
Build, test and deploy pipelines a developer can read without a guide, and infrastructure as code so anyone can rebuild the environment from the repository. If deploying today means one person, a runbook and a nervous afternoon, start here.
Security review and hardening
Access and network boundaries, secrets handling, dependency and supply-chain review, and logging you can use during an incident as well as after one. We scope credentials per engagement and revoke them at handover.
Cost and architecture audits
Where the bill goes, and which line items buy you nothing. We have turned engagements down when the fix was a config change rather than a rebuild. That is the reason to ask us: the audit costs little, and it sometimes ends with you not needing us.
What we hand over.
- Cloud migration (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- CI/CD pipelines and DevOps
- Security review and hardening
- Cost audits. We have turned engagements down when the fix was a config change, not a rebuild
Questions this work usually raises.
What tech stacks do you work in?
We choose the stack based on your team's ability to maintain it after we leave, not our own preference. In practice: TypeScript/Node, Python, and Go on the backend; React and native mobile on the front end; AWS, GCP, or Azure for infrastructure.
How do status updates work?
The same four headings every week: status, done, next, blockers. Sent on the same day, plus dashboard access so you can check between updates instead of waiting for them.
What if we need to pause or cancel mid-engagement?
You can pause with notice; the retainer and support models are built for that. On fixed-scope projects you pay for milestones completed, not the whole contract, and we'll tell you where things stand before you decide.
What happens after launch?
A handover walkthrough and documentation are included in every engagement. Ongoing support is a separate, opt-in engagement, never bundled in by default.
Most engagements cross more than one.
Bring us the whole problem.
Book a one-hour scoping call. No deck, no pitch: you describe the problem, we ask the questions that usually get skipped, and you get a straight answer on whether we're the right people for it. Scoping comes after, in writing.
