Cloud & DevOps

Moving to the cloud 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 your chosen cloud platform 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
  • A cloud 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 a managed cloud hosting service

A pipeline from commit to production

A cost and performance review of a cloud estate that has grown by itself

Typical technology

  • AWS, Azure and other cloud platforms
  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Infrastructure as code

Questions

Is the cloud always cheaper?

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

Which cloud platforms do you work with?

We work across the major platforms, including AWS and Azure. We choose with you, based on what you already run and what it will cost.
