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 (US)

For US teams, we build with auditability in mind: clear access boundaries, least-privilege roles, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align delivery with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification): evidence-ready logs, secure-by-default config, and clear ownership.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly implementation patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and permission boundaries
  • Security review checklists for auth, payments, and data flows
  • PII-safe logging + incident response playbooks (on request)
  • Retention and deletion flows where required
  • NDA + vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (Americas)

We support teams across the Americas with meeting windows that work for EST/CST/MST/PST.

We keep delivery predictable with weekly milestones, concise async updates, and written decisions to reduce calendar load.

  • Americas overlap with EST/PST-friendly windows
  • Async-first updates with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos + change control
  • Fast turnaround on blockers and clarifications
  • Clear owner per workstream and escalation path

Engagement & Procurement (US)

US-friendly engagement structure: clear SOWs, milestone billing, and invoice cadence that fits typical procurement workflows.

If you need vendor onboarding artefacts, we can provide security posture summaries and delivery process documentation.

  • USD invoicing and milestone-based payment schedules
  • SOW + scope lock options for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Procurement-ready documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (US)

We ship with a security-first checklist and performance budgets—so releases stay stable under real traffic.

Expect clean PRs, reviewable changes, and production-ready testing from day one.

  • Threat-aware checks for auth, roles, and sensitive data flows
  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + critical path smoke tests
  • Performance budgets (Core Web Vitals-minded) and bundle checks
  • Structured logging + error tracking hooks (Sentry-ready)
  • Rollback-safe releases and clear release notes
