Cloud services
Cloud architecture, provisioning and operations with infrastructure as code, cost controls and security baselines.
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or a well-run VPS — whichever fits the stage you are at.
6 deliverables, a 4-stage approach and 8 related technologies.
Overview
Cloud platforms make it easy to start and easy to overspend. The right architecture depends on your traffic, data sensitivity, team skills and budget — and it should change as those change.
We design environments with infrastructure as code, least-privilege access, tagging and budgets, and we are just as comfortable recommending a single well-configured VPS as a multi-region managed setup.
What we deliver
- Architecture diagram and decision log
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent)
- Identity and access baseline
- Networking, DNS and TLS setup
- Monitoring, logging and alerting
- Cost budget and alerts

Things to consider
Questions worth answering before you commit budget.
