Cloud, Azure & DevOps

Moving to Azure sensibly, and making releases boring.

Overview

The cloud is worth it when applications become cheaper to run, easier to change or more reliable. If it does none of those, it is just somebody else's server. We help you decide what should move, design it for Azure with an eye on the bill, and automate builds and deployments so a release stops being an event people dread.

Problems we help with

  • Releases are manual, slow and nerve-racking
  • The on-premises servers are old and expensive to keep
  • Performance or availability is not keeping up with demand

What you get

  • An assessment of what to move, what to leave and what it would cost
  • An Azure design that watches the bill
  • Infrastructure written as code, so environments can be rebuilt
  • Pipelines that test and deploy, with approvals
  • Monitoring, alerts and tuning

Typical projects

An on-premises application moved to Azure App Service

A pipeline from commit to production

A cost and performance review of an Azure estate that has grown by itself

Typical technology

  • Microsoft Azure
  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • GitHub Actions
  • Azure DevOps
  • Bicep and Terraform

Questions

Is the cloud always cheaper?

No, and badly planned it is often dearer. Sometimes the honest advice is to stay where you are.

Do you only work with Azure?

Azure is our main platform. We can look at others if there is a good reason.
