Service

DevOps & Cloud

Hosting, releases and monitoring on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud — so your software stays up, scales when you are busy and costs what it should.

The problem and the outcome

The problem

The site falls over on your busiest day, releases happen at midnight because everyone is afraid of them, one person is the only one who knows how any of it works, and the cloud bill climbs every month without anyone able to say why.

The outcome

Infrastructure that handles your peaks, releases anyone on the team can run in working hours, alerts that reach you before customers complain, a recovery plan that has actually been tested, and a bill you can account for line by line.

What you can build

Things we build under this service.

Not an exhaustive list — if what you need is close to something here, it is worth asking.

  • Cloud setup and migration on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Moving off ageing servers, a single VPS or an office cupboard
  • Automated build, test and release pipelines, with one-step rollback
  • Infrastructure as code, so environments can be rebuilt from scratch
  • Containers and Kubernetes — or a straight argument for why you do not need them yet
  • Staging environments that actually match production
  • Scaling for seasonal peaks, campaigns and traffic spikes
  • Monitoring, alerting and uptime tracking, with someone on call if you want it
  • Backups and disaster recovery, rehearsed rather than assumed
  • Database management: performance, upgrades and safe migrations
  • Security hardening, access control, secrets management and SSL
  • Cloud cost review and reduction, reported against your current bill
  • Ongoing management, or documentation and handover to your own team
What's included

What comes as standard.

  • Releases without the drama

    Updates tested and deployed automatically, with a one-step way back if something is wrong.

  • Scales when you are busy

    Capacity that grows for a campaign, a seasonal peak or a Friday night rush, then shrinks again so you are not paying for idle servers.

  • You hear about it first

    Monitoring and alerts set up so problems reach us before they reach your customers.

  • A bill you can explain

    Spending tagged by service and reviewed regularly. Right-sizing and removing forgotten resources usually pays for the work itself.

  • Not dependent on one person

    Infrastructure defined in code and documented in runbooks, so the setup does not live in one engineer’s head — yours or ours.

  • Recovery you have actually tested

    Backups are only worth what a restore proves. We rehearse the recovery and tell you the real numbers: how much data you would lose, and how long you would be down.

SaaS Product Build

A subscription product taken from idea to paying customers: the application itself, the sign-up and billing around it, and hosting that holds up as usage grows.

Questions

What people ask us first.

Which cloud provider should we use?

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud all do the job. We choose based on what you already use, what your team knows and what your software needs, rather than defaulting to one.

Will moving cause downtime?

Migrations are planned to be incremental and reversible. Anything that carries downtime risk is scheduled in advance, rehearsed, and agreed with you first.

Can you reduce our cloud bill?

Usually, and often significantly. Oversized servers, forgotten resources and unused storage are the common causes. We report savings against your current baseline so the result is checkable.

Do you offer ongoing support agreements?

Yes, with agreed response times and an uptime commitment. Alternatively we hand over documentation and runbooks so your own team can take it on. Both are legitimate; which one fits depends on whether you want to employ this skillset.

Do we need Kubernetes?

Usually not. It solves problems most businesses do not have yet, and running a cluster you do not need is a permanent tax on your team. We will say so when a managed platform is the better answer, and we will tell you the point at which that changes.

We depend on one person who set all this up. Can you help?

This is one of the most common reasons people call us, and it is worth fixing before it becomes urgent. We document what exists, move it into code so it can be rebuilt, and make sure more than one person can run it.

What happens when something breaks at 2am?

With a support agreement, monitoring pages us and we respond within the agreed time. Without one, alerts go to your team with runbooks describing what to do. Either way the failure should reach a person before it reaches your customers.

Want a price for this?

Tell us what you need and we will send scope, timeline and cost for your devops & cloud project within 48 hours. No obligation either way.
