Cloud & DevOps Modernization
Migrations, Kubernetes platforms and GitOps delivery that cut release risk and cloud spend at the same time. AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
The problem we solve
Ship daily. Sleep nightly.
Organisations rarely come to us saying their platform is wrong. They say deployments are frightening, the cloud bill grew without more customers, and nobody wants to touch the release process. Those are the same problem wearing three hats.
We start by making delivery safe: infrastructure defined as code, environments that are identical, and a pipeline that can roll back on its own. Once releases stop being events, the cost work becomes possible, because you can finally change things without a committee.
The engagement ends with your team running it. Not with a dependency on us, and not with a slide deck. Runbooks, a documented on-call rota and two weeks of paired operation before we step back.

HANDOVER
Runbooks plus paired operation
What you get
Deliverables, named in
the statement of work.
Infrastructure as code
Every environment defined in Terraform or OpenTofu, in your repository, with a state backend you control and a plan that runs on every pull request.
A production Kubernetes platform
Networking, RBAC, autoscaling, ingress and TLS, sized to your actual load rather than a vendor reference architecture.
GitOps delivery
Argo CD or Flux, with progressive delivery and automatic rollback on a failed health check. Git becomes the only way anything reaches production.
Observability that answers questions
Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry wired to service level objectives, with alerts that page a human only when a customer is affected.
A cost model you can defend
Right-sizing, committed-use planning and per-team cost attribution, with the savings written down before we start and measured after.
Runbooks and paired operation
Written operating procedures plus two weeks running the platform alongside your engineers before we hand over the pager.
How the engagement runs
Stage by stage, in the open.
WEEKS 1 TO 2
Assess
We inventory what runs where, read the incident history, and price the current architecture. You get a written assessment even if you stop here.
WEEKS 3 TO 4
Foundations
Infrastructure as code for one non-production environment, the pipeline skeleton, and the observability stack. First deployment through the new path.
WEEKS 5 TO 8
Migrate
Workload by workload, lowest risk first, with a documented rollback for each. Nothing moves on a Friday and nothing moves without your sign-off.
WEEKS 9 TO 10
Harden
Load testing, failure injection, a disaster recovery rehearsal you watch, and the security review before production traffic moves.
WEEKS 11 TO 12
Hand over
Runbooks, on-call rota, and two weeks of your engineers operating it with ours on the call rather than in front of it.
Tooling we use here
All of it in production today, on client platforms and our own.
Two weeks to know what
this would cost you.
The assessment is fixed fee and yours to keep. Most clients use it to get budget approved, whether or not we do the build.
