Infrastructure

Cloud Architecture.

AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, designed around what you actually need

Cloud Architecture. We design and build the cloud setup your systems sit on, across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Sized for the load you really have rather than the load a sales deck imagines, with the running cost visible and under control from the start.

What we do here.

Cloud bills run away for two reasons. Something was sized for a sales deck rather than the real load, and something was left running that nobody was watching.

We design around what your systems actually do, across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, with no reason to push one over another. Spend alerts go on from day one rather than after the first bad invoice.

You do not have to move everything, and often you should not. Moving what benefits and leaving the rest is normal. Where portability matters the setup is described in code so it can be rebuilt elsewhere rather than existing only inside one provider's console.

How we deliver it.

  • Discover and scope. We review your processes, systems and goals, then agree the scope, budget and timeline with you.
  • Build and ship. We build and test your system in planned stages, with progress reviews at each agreed milestone.
  • Train and hand over. We deploy, document and train your staff, then provide ongoing support once the system is live.
  • Get you running and keep you running. We handle the whole project, from planning and building your systems to getting them live. After launch we stay on to support, maintain and update everything, so your team never manages the technology.
  • Work with your team. You know the problem but not the technical solution. We validate the idea, build the system and train the people who will run it. After launch, we step back or provide continued support where needed.
  • Join your team. You have staff and a roadmap, but a skills gap is slowing down your progress. We place one of our experienced engineers within your team to close it, for an agreed fixed period or on an ongoing basis.

FAQs

Which cloud should we use?
Whichever fits your workload, your team and what you already pay for. We work across AWS, Google Cloud and Azure and have no reason to push one.
How do we stop the bill running away?
By sizing it for the load you really have and putting alerts on spend from day one. Most horror stories are something left running that nobody was watching.
Do we have to move everything?
No, and often you should not. Moving what benefits and leaving the rest is normal, and cheaper than a full migration.
What about being locked in?
Where it matters we keep the setup described in code and avoid the services that are hardest to leave. Total portability costs more than it is worth for most businesses, so it is a decision rather than a default.
