Cloud infrastructure built for reliability and scale

AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure provisioned as code, secured with least-privilege IAM, monitored from day one, and cost-optimised continuously. We own your cloud operations so you can focus on shipping product.

// Standards

Cloud engineering standards

Infrastructure as code

Every cloud resource defined in version-controlled IaC — Terraform or Pulumi. No manually-clicked resources in production that cannot be reproduced or audited.

Least-privilege IAM

IAM roles scoped to minimum required permissions. No wildcard policies in production. Service accounts per workload with automated credential rotation.

Tested disaster recovery

Backup and restore procedures tested against real data. RTO and RPO measured, not estimated. DR documentation updated after every infrastructure change.

Cost visibility and control

Tagged resources with cost allocation to products and teams. Weekly cost reports with anomaly detection. Idle resource elimination and reserved instance purchasing for stable workloads.

Observability from day one

Metrics, logs, and traces configured before go-live — not as an afterthought. Infrastructure health is measured and alerted on from the first deployment.

Multi-environment parity

Development, staging, and production environments configured with the same IaC templates and tooling. Staging is a trust-worthy production proxy, not an afterthought.

Common questions about cloud operations

Which cloud provider do you recommend?+

AWS for most products — unmatched service breadth, maturity, and talent pool. GCP for data-heavy workloads and ML applications. Azure for Microsoft-heavy enterprises. For simple applications, managed platforms like Render, Railway, or Fly.io often provide the best developer experience at lower cost.

What is Infrastructure as Code and why does it matter?+

IaC means your infrastructure is defined in code (Terraform, Pulumi) rather than manually configured through cloud consoles. Benefits: reproducible environments, version history, peer review, disaster recovery, and no configuration drift between environments.

How do you approach cloud cost optimisation?+

Three areas: right-sizing (compute instances often 2–4x over-provisioned), reserved instances for stable workloads (40–60% discount vs. on-demand), and waste elimination (unattached storage, idle instances, forgotten dev environments). We typically find 25–40% savings in existing AWS accounts.

What is a good RTO/RPO for a SaaS application?+

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) of 4 hours and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of 1 hour is achievable and cost-effective for most SaaS apps with RDS automated backups and multi-AZ deployment. Mission-critical financial systems may need RPO < 5 minutes using RDS synchronous replication.

Can you help migrate from on-premise servers to cloud?+

Yes — cloud migration assessment, lift-and-shift for immediate move, then modernisation to cloud-native services (managed databases, serverless, containers) in subsequent phases. We plan migrations to minimise downtime and rollback risk.
