Infrastructure

Infrastructure as Code.

Your environment described in code, not in somebody's memory

Infrastructure as Code. Your servers and services defined in code and kept in version control, so an environment can be rebuilt from scratch and every change is reviewed like any other. It removes the box nobody dares touch because only one person knows how it was set up.

What we do here.

A lot of infrastructure exists because somebody once clicked through a console. It works, nobody can explain all of it, and rebuilding it would be an archaeology project.

Describing it in code changes that. The environment can be rebuilt from scratch, every change is reviewed like any other change, and the setup stops living in one person's memory.

Existing infrastructure gets imported and described gradually rather than torn down. You can still change things quickly, the difference is there is a record of what changed and why, instead of a mystery setting nobody can account for in six months.

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.
What problem does this solve?
Environments that exist only because somebody once clicked through a console. When it is described in code, it can be rebuilt, reviewed and reasoned about.
Is it worth it for a small setup?
Often yes, because small teams are the ones who cannot afford to lose the only person who knows how it was configured.
Can it be applied to what we already have?
Yes. Existing infrastructure gets imported and described gradually rather than torn down and rebuilt.
What if we need to change something quickly?
You still can. The change goes through code so there is a record of it, rather than a mystery setting nobody can explain in six months.

Let us build your future

Bring us a plan or just an idea. We will arrange a discovery meeting with you to go through it.
