Cloud and DevOps engineering
The part that decides whether software survives contact with real use: where it runs, how it ships, how you know when it breaks, and what it costs each month.
The problem
Applications are usually deployed once and operated by nobody
A build finishes, something goes live, and the questions nobody answered surface later: who gets paged, how a fix ships, what happens when the instance restarts, why the bill tripled. These are cheap decisions before go-live and expensive ones afterwards.
How we work on this
Prototype first, then the build you approved.
We treat deployment and operations as part of the build rather than a phase after it. The environment, the pipeline, the backups, the monitoring and the monthly cost are agreed before the production build starts. Everything runs in your own cloud account, under your billing, with your team holding the keys.
What this covers
Capabilities, and where each one stops.
-
Cloud environments
Production and staging set up in your own account, sized for real traffic rather than an imagined peak.
-
Deployment pipelines
A repeatable path from change to production, so shipping a fix is routine rather than an event.
-
Monitoring and alerting
Knowing that something is wrong before a user tells you, with alerts that go to a person who can act.
-
Backups and recovery
Backups that have been restored at least once, because an untested backup is a hope.
-
Cost review
What the thing costs a month, seen before go-live and again afterwards, with the obvious savings taken.
We do not sell managed hosting or a retained operations team, and we are not a 24/7 support desk. We set it up so your team can run it, and we say plainly when a workload needs an operator we are not.
How it is built
Decisions we make the same way every time.
- Runs in your cloud account, under your billing and your access control
- Infrastructure defined as code, so an environment can be rebuilt
- Least-privilege access, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging
- Rollback path agreed before the first deploy
- Handover documentation written for your team
Where this applies
Industries we have gone deep in, and the rest of the ecosystem.
Questions
The questions people ask about this work.
Whose cloud account does it run in?
Yours. We build in your account so you hold the keys, see the bill and can change providers without asking us.
Do you provide 24/7 support?
No. We set up monitoring, alerting and a rollback path so your team can operate it, and we are honest when a workload needs a dedicated operations team.
