Cloud & DevOps

Practical cloud and DevOps work that makes production calmer: fewer incidents, safer releases, and predictable cloud costs. We improve the delivery and reliability fundamentals (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability) without turning your stack into a tool museum.

Who this is for

This is a good fit if you recognise yourself in at least one of these:

  • Deployments are stressful, slow, or manual — and releases keep breaking things.
  • You’re getting incidents or performance issues and don’t have enough visibility to debug quickly.
  • Cloud costs are drifting upward and no one has a clear view of what to change.
  • You need to migrate or modernise infrastructure without pausing product delivery.

How Cloud & DevOps engagements work

The exact order depends on your system, but most engagements follow a pattern like this:

  1. Baseline and priorities. We review your current deployment flow, incident history, and constraints. We align on what matters most: delivery speed, reliability, or cost.
  2. Stabilise the release process. We improve CI/CD, environment parity, and rollback paths so releases become routine.
  3. Make the system observable. We implement or tune logs, metrics, traces, and alerts so issues can be detected and diagnosed.
  4. Fix high-leverage reliability issues.Reduce incidents by addressing bottlenecks, misconfigurations, and fragile deployment patterns.
  5. Cost controls and hygiene. Identify waste, implement budgets/alerts, and apply pragmatic optimisations without harming stability.

What you get

  • Safer releases: repeatable deployments, clear rollback paths, and fewer manual steps.
  • Infrastructure as code and environment consistency so changes are reviewable and reproducible.
  • Observability that helps: practical dashboards, alerts, and logging conventions aligned to real incidents.
  • Reliability improvements based on your biggest failure modes, not generic best practices.
  • A clear plan for the next 4 to 6 weeks: what to tackle now, what to schedule later, and what not to do.

Security, reliability, and cost guardrails

Cloud work can create hidden risk if it’s only “make it work”. We prioritise fundamentals that keep systems stable as they grow.

  • Least-privilege access and clear separation between environments.
  • Secrets handling and safe CI/CD practices.
  • Alerting that reduces noise and catches real failures early.
  • Cost visibility and guardrails so usage growth doesn’t create surprise bills.

Pricing and commitment

Cloud and DevOps work is typically a focused multi-week engagement. Typical starting ranges are $4,000 to $8,000+, depending on scope and urgency.

You keep all code and deliverables from each milestone. There are no long-term contracts. If it’s not creating value, you stop.

FAQ

Do you support AWS only?

AWS is common, but the approach is provider-agnostic. We focus on delivery, observability, reliability, and cost fundamentals.

Can you work with our existing tooling?

Yes. We prefer improving what you already have before introducing new tools. If a change is necessary, we’ll explain the trade-offs.

Do we need to stop product development?

No. We work alongside product delivery. The goal is to make releases safer and reduce operational drag while you keep shipping.

What if we need broader architecture direction?

Start with the Architecture & Scalability Audit if you want a short, focused technical review and a written action plan before deeper implementation work.
