Cloud & DevOps
Scalable, secure cloud infrastructure and automated delivery, so that releases become routine and outages become rare.
Overview
Reliable software depends on reliable infrastructure and a disciplined route to production. Our cloud and DevOps practice designs environments that scale with demand, automates the path from a code change to a live release, and gives your team clear visibility into how systems are behaving.
We define infrastructure as code, so that every environment is reproducible and every change is reviewed. Security controls, backups and recovery procedures are designed in rather than added later, and cost is monitored as closely as performance.
What we deliver
Cloud architecture
Design and implementation of environments on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, including networking, identity and data services.
Containers and orchestration
Applications packaged with Docker and operated on Kubernetes, including managed services such as AKS and GKE.
Continuous integration and delivery
Automated build, test and release pipelines using GitHub Actions, with approvals and rollback at each stage.
Monitoring and observability
Centralized logging, metrics and alerting, including the ELK Stack, with dashboards for engineering and management.
Security and resilience
Least-privilege access, secret management, encrypted data, tested backups and documented recovery procedures.
Cost optimization
Regular review of consumption against need, with rightsizing and scheduling to remove spend that delivers no value.
Our approach
- 1Assess
We review the current environment, its costs, its risks and the points at which it fails under load.
- 2Design
A target architecture and migration plan are prepared, with security and recovery requirements stated explicitly.
- 3Automate
Infrastructure is defined as code and every deployment is routed through a single, audited pipeline.
- 4Operate
Monitoring and alerting are established, and operational procedures are documented and rehearsed.
What you receive
- Infrastructure defined as code
- Automated build and release pipelines
- Monitoring dashboards and alert rules
- Backup, recovery and incident procedures
- A cost baseline and optimization plan
When this service fits
This service addresses slow or risky releases, environments that cannot be reproduced, unexplained growth in cloud spending, and the need to prepare a platform for higher load or a compliance review.
Questions and answers
Do you work with our existing cloud account?
Yes. We work within your accounts and subscriptions, under your access policies, so that ownership and billing remain with you.
Can you migrate us without downtime?
Migrations are planned in stages and rehearsed in advance. Where a brief maintenance window is unavoidable, it is agreed and scheduled with you.
Do you provide ongoing operations?
We offer continuing monitoring and maintenance under an agreed service level, or we hand over to your team with full documentation.
