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 (UK/EU)
For UK teams, we default to GDPR-first thinking: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and clear access boundaries.
We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement practical retention/deletion flows when needed.
- GDPR-first patterns (minimise, restrict, document)
- DPA template available on request
- Retention/deletion and export flows where required
- Least-privilege access and secure session handling
- PII-safe logging + secure-by-default configuration
- NDA available for early-stage discussions
Timezone & Collaboration (UK/EU)
We align to UK time and EU overlap (GMT/BST with CET-friendly windows) for fast feedback cycles.
We keep the process lightweight: async updates, clear priorities, and written decisions to avoid ambiguity.
- UK/EU overlap with GMT/BST windows
- Async-first delivery with documented scope
- Weekly milestones and structured demos
- Clear escalation path for blockers
- Tight change control with clear sign-offs
Engagement & Procurement (UK)
We support typical UK procurement flows with clear scopes, change control, and invoice cadence.
If you prefer a discovery-first engagement, we can run a short paid discovery to lock requirements before build.
- GBP-based engagements and invoicing options
- Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
- Milestone-based billing when appropriate
- Transparent change control and sign-offs
- Vendor onboarding pack on request
Security & Quality (UK/EU)
We build for reliability and maintainability: clean PRs, tight review loops, and test coverage that matches risk.
Performance budgets and release checklists keep launches predictable—especially when multiple stakeholders review changes.
- CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
- Performance budgets + bundle checks (Core Web Vitals-minded)
- Structured release notes and rollback-safe deployments
- Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
- Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
