Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps
Deployment frequency is a good proxy for the health of an engineering organisation. Teams that deploy rarely are usually not being careful — they are working around a process that is risky enough to avoid.
We build the pipeline and infrastructure that make a deploy uneventful: reproducible environments, automated checks, and a rollback that is one command and known to work.
What we build
Infrastructure as code
Terraform or equivalent definitions so environments are reproducible and reviewable, and staging genuinely resembles production.
CI/CD pipelines
Automated build, test and deploy with staged rollouts and a rollback path that is exercised regularly rather than assumed.
Containers and orchestration
Docker and Kubernetes or managed equivalents, sized to what the team can realistically operate.
Monitoring and alerting
Metrics, logs and traces with alerts tied to user-visible symptoms, so on-call pages mean something is actually wrong.
Security and access
Secret management, least-privilege IAM, network boundaries and dependency scanning integrated into the pipeline.
Cost management
Spend attributed per service and environment, with right-sizing and lifecycle policies applied where they save money without adding risk.
Choosing boring infrastructure on purpose
The right infrastructure is the simplest one that meets the requirement and that your team can operate at three in the morning. Kubernetes is an excellent answer to problems many companies do not have.
We size the platform to the team. Managed services and a straightforward container runtime carry most workloads well, and we say so rather than specifying complexity that bills by the hour.
Alerts people trust
An alert that fires regularly without requiring action trains the team to ignore alerts, which is worse than having none.
We alert on symptoms users would notice — error rates, latency against a target, work queues that are not draining — and route everything else to dashboards for investigation rather than interruption.
Frequently asked questions
Which cloud providers do you work with?
AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Where there is a free choice we usually recommend the one your team already has experience with, since operational familiarity outweighs feature differences for most workloads.
Can you help reduce our cloud bill?
Yes. We start by attributing spend properly, which on its own often reveals idle environments and oversized instances, then work through right-sizing, storage lifecycle and reserved capacity.
