A cloud environment built for a demo is not the same as one built for production. We design and operate cloud infrastructure for teams whose products need to stay online when traffic spikes, data volumes grow, and things go wrong โ which they will.
These are the patterns we see most often when we audit a new client's cloud environment. None of them are unusual โ and all of them are fixable.
Single server running the entire product โ one hardware failure or availability zone outage takes everything down with no automatic recovery path.
Overpaying for idle capacity at night or crashing during traffic spikes. A fixed server size cannot serve both extremes cost-effectively.
Backups exist but have never been tested โ no confidence data can actually be recovered. A backup you've never restored is not a backup you can trust.
Production, staging, and development share resources with no network isolation โ a runaway staging process or bad deployment can affect live traffic.
Cloud costs attributed to a single account with no team or product-level visibility โ no way to identify which workload or team is driving spend growth.
Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 โ internal services, databases, and admin panels reachable from the public internet without bastion or VPN controls.
We design cloud infrastructure around the operational reality that things fail โ not around the assumption they won't. Every architecture decision we make considers what happens when a dependency is unavailable, a deployment fails, or traffic doubles unexpectedly.
Eight capability areas that every production-grade cloud environment requires โ and that we deliver as standard, not as add-ons.
Active-passive and active-active designs for global resilience and automated failover across cloud regions.
Compute groups, database read replicas, and CDN responding dynamically to demand โ scale out fast, scale in safely.
RPO and RTO-defined backup strategies, tested and documented quarterly. Your backup is worthless until you've restored from it.
VPC/VNet design, private subnets, bastion-free access via SSM or Tailscale, and security group least-privilege enforcement.
Tagging governance, right-sizing analysis, reserved capacity planning, and savings plans optimised per workload pattern.
Global content delivery, DDoS mitigation, WAF rules, and edge caching configuration across CloudFront, Azure CDN, and Cloud CDN.
Managed clusters, connection pooling, read replicas, automated failover, and tested point-in-time restore procedures.
Infrastructure metrics, anomaly-based alerting, SLO dashboards, and capacity forecasting so you see problems before users do.
Six phases from discovery to steady state โ with defined deliverables and no surprises.
Current architecture review, single points of failure audit, cost analysis report. Output: a prioritised list of risks and a target state proposal.
Target architecture diagram, network topology with security boundaries, DR strategy document, and cost estimate for the proposed state.
VPC/VNet, IAM roles and policies, monitoring baseline, backup automation, tagging standard, and environment isolation between prod/staging/dev.
Phased cutover per service, DNS migration, database promotion with tested rollback plan, and zero-downtime deployment pipeline verification.
Security scanning, penetration test remediation, cost governance activation, and final security group audit against least-privilege standard.
Monthly architecture review, capacity planning report, cost optimisation cycle, and quarterly DR test with documented results and sign-off.
Cloud-agnostic tooling โ we choose the right service for the job, not the one tied to a preferred vendor relationship.
Production cloud infrastructure for teams with real uptime and compliance requirements.
We recommend the right provider for your workload, not our preferred billing relationship. AWS, Azure, and GCP are all workload decisions โ not vendor decisions.
Every architecture decision includes an estimated monthly cost impact. We don't design infrastructure that surprises you with the bill at the end of the month.
Your backup is worthless if you have never tested restoring it. We run quarterly DR exercises with documented results and sign-off โ not just scheduled jobs that run silently.
Everything in Terraform so your team manages it without calling us for every change. You receive the code, the state, and the runbooks โ not a portal configuration nobody can reproduce.
