Features

What we deliver

Serverless & Event-Driven Architecture

Build scalable APIs and background jobs with queues, events, cron schedules, and retries—pay-per-use with automatic scaling.

Containers & Microservices

Run services on ECS/EKS/GKE/Cloud Run with autoscaling, health checks, rolling deploys, and zero-downtime releases.

Cloud Networking & Zero-Trust Security

VPC design, private subnets, security groups, WAF, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM—built for real production threats.

Data Layer (DB, Cache, Storage)

Reliable database setups with backups, read replicas, migrations, and performance tuning—plus Redis caching and object storage/CDN.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform/CDK deployments that are version-controlled, repeatable, and reviewable—no click-ops, fewer production surprises.

Observability, SRE & FinOps

Dashboards, alerts, tracing, error reporting, and cost guardrails (budgets, tagging, right-sizing) so ops stays predictable.

Use Cases

Who this is for

Startup Infrastructure

Start lean with serverless + managed services, then evolve into containers/microservices as product and traffic grow.

Cloud Migration

Move from shared hosting/on-prem to AWS/GCP with minimal downtime—improve reliability, security posture, and deployment speed.

Enterprise Cloud & Compliance

Multi-account/project setups, audit trails, least-privilege IAM, encryption, and patterns that support SOC 2 / HIPAA-style requirements.

Rescue & Optimization

Fix latency spikes, stabilize deployments, reduce cloud waste, and harden security—without blocking ongoing product work.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

AWS is the broadest ecosystem and common enterprise default. GCP shines for Kubernetes (GKE), data/analytics, and some AI workflows. We typically choose based on your team comfort, region needs, compliance, and total cost profile.

We implement least-privilege IAM, private networking, secret management, encryption in transit/at rest, WAF rules, audit logs, and baseline hardening. We also review threat paths (public buckets, overly broad roles, insecure APIs).

We design with FinOps in mind: right-sizing, autoscaling, caching, minimizing NAT/egress surprises, budgets + alerts, and tagging. We also identify waste (idle resources, oversized DBs, noisy logs) and fix it systematically.

We use multi-AZ deployments, load balancing, managed DB failover, backups + restore drills, and optional multi-region strategies depending on your RTO/RPO requirements.

Yes—GitHub Actions pipelines with environment separation, automated tests, approvals, and deployment strategies like rolling or blue/green with quick rollback paths.

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (EU)

For Germany/EU delivery, we keep GDPR-first patterns: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and explicit access boundaries.

We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement pragmatic retention/deletion flows when needed.

  • GDPR-first architecture patterns (generic, no legal claims)
  • DPA template available on request
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • Least-privilege access and safe logging defaults
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries

Timezone & Collaboration (EU)

We align to EU working hours with CET-friendly collaboration windows and async progress updates.

We keep delivery predictable: weekly milestones, documented decisions, and clear scope control.

  • EU overlap with CET-friendly windows
  • Async-first delivery with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear change control to avoid surprises
  • Escalation path for blockers and risks

Engagement & Procurement (EU)

We support procurement-friendly engagements with clear scopes, milestone plans, and documentation that stakeholders can review.

For EU teams, we can structure invoices and milestones for EUR-based engagements where appropriate.

  • EUR-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Vendor onboarding documentation on request
  • Transparent change control and approvals

Security & Quality (EU)

We prioritise reliability: reviewable PRs, predictable releases, and tests that protect critical paths.

Performance budgets and clear release discipline keep the product stable as it grows.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
