Cloud Architecture

Design resilient architectures on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Set up autoscaling, load balancing, and cost-aware storage for growth.

Overview

Infrastructure that scales quietly and costs what it should.

We design, build and run cloud infrastructure on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure: the servers, containers, databases, networks and pipelines your product depends on. The goal is simple: it stays up on your busiest day, recovers quickly when something fails, and does not waste money the rest of the time.

Everything is defined as code with Terraform, so environments are reproducible, changes are reviewed like any other code and nothing depends on one person remembering how a server was configured.

Whether you are launching, migrating off a single overloaded server or untangling years of growth, we start with an audit and leave you with dashboards, alerts and runbooks your team can operate with confidence.

Built for
  • Products preparing for a launch or a big traffic event
  • Companies migrating from shared hosting or a single server
  • Teams whose cloud bill is growing faster than their usage
  • Businesses that need better uptime, backups or security posture
What you get

Everything it takes, in one engagement.

Every part of cloud architecture handled by one senior team, so nothing falls between suppliers and you always know who owns the result.

01

Architecture and cloud strategy

Right-sized designs for compute, storage and networking, chosen around your workload, your team and your budget.

02

Infrastructure as code

Every environment described in Terraform and version controlled, so staging and production match and changes are auditable.

03

Containers and orchestration

Docker images and Kubernetes or managed container services with autoscaling, health checks and zero-downtime deploys.

04

Migrations

Staged moves from legacy hosting with parallel environments, rehearsed cutovers and a rollback plan at every step.

05

Cost optimisation

Usage audits, right-sizing, reserved capacity and cleanup of idle resources, with a monthly cost view to keep it that way.

06

Reliability and security

Backups, disaster recovery, least-privilege access, secrets management, monitoring and on-call ready runbooks.

Deliverables

Why it matters

What this does for your business.

Ready for your best day

Autoscaling and load balancing that treat a traffic spike as good news rather than an outage.

A bill you can predict

Infrastructure sized to real usage, with cost visibility so surprises are caught in days, not at month end.

Recovery measured in minutes

Tested backups, failover and runbooks, so an incident is an inconvenience instead of a crisis.

How we deliver it

From first call to shipped.

A planned, transparent arc with something you can see every week, so you always know exactly where the work stands.

01

Audit

Week 1

We review current infrastructure, costs, security and failure points, and agree the priorities with you.

02

Design

Week 2

A target architecture with a clear scaling model, cost estimate and migration plan.

03

Build as code

Weeks 3 to 6

Environments, pipelines and observability built in Terraform and tested in staging first.

04

Migrate and cut over

Weeks 6 to 8

Data and traffic move in rehearsed stages, with rollback ready and your users unaffected.

05

Operate and optimise

Ongoing

Dashboards, alerts and runbooks handed over, with optional managed care and monthly cost reviews.

Engineering
Example engagement

A growing online retailer moves from a single overloaded server to an autoscaling setup with a CDN, a managed database and infrastructure as code, ready for seasonal sale peaks without overpaying the rest of the year.

Ask a question

In most cases, yes. We run old and new environments in parallel, replicate data, rehearse the cutover and switch traffic gradually, with a rollback plan ready at each step.
