Cloud & DevOps
Infrastructure that deploys on demand and wakes nobody at 3am
Shipping fast is a property of your delivery system, not your developers' willingness to work late. We build the platform underneath: reproducible environments defined in code, pipelines that deploy on merge, telemetry that tells you what broke before a customer does, and a cloud bill that matches what you are actually using.
- Deploys measured in minutes, not change windows
- Every environment reproducible from code
- Alerts tied to user impact, not CPU graphs
- Cloud spend attributed to teams and features
Capabilities
What this practice actually covers
Written at the level of detail you would need to decide whether we can do the specific thing you have in mind.
Cloud architecture & migration
Designing the target state, then moving to it in slices that keep the business running throughout.
- AWS, Azure and Google Cloud architecture and landing zones
- Lift-and-shift, re-platform and re-architect migration paths
- Multi-region, high-availability and disaster-recovery design
- Data-residency-aware architecture for Indian and EU requirements
Platform & infrastructure as code
Environments that are defined, reviewed and versioned like any other part of the system.
- Terraform and Pulumi modules with policy-as-code checks
- Kubernetes, ECS and serverless runtimes
- Internal developer platforms and self-service environments
- Secrets management and credential rotation
CI/CD & release engineering
Automated paths from commit to production, with the safety mechanisms that make frequent releases boring.
- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Azure DevOps pipelines
- Blue-green, canary and progressive delivery
- Feature flags and trunk-based development
- Automated rollback triggered by service-level objectives
Observability & reliability
Knowing what is happening in production, and being able to prove it after the fact.
- Distributed tracing, structured logging and metrics via OpenTelemetry
- Service-level objectives and error budgets
- On-call rotation design, runbooks and incident review process
- Synthetic monitoring and real-user monitoring
Security & compliance engineering
Controls built into the pipeline rather than discovered during an audit.
- Shift-left scanning: SAST, DAST, dependency and container scanning
- Zero-trust networking and least-privilege IAM
- Audit logging and evidence collection for ISO 27001 and SOC 2
- Backup, retention and restore testing
FinOps & cost engineering
Cloud cost treated as an engineering metric with an owner, not a finance surprise.
- Cost attribution by team, service and customer
- Right-sizing, autoscaling and commitment planning
- Idle and orphaned resource elimination
- Unit-economics dashboards for cost per transaction

Questions
About cloud & devops
We are on shared hosting from years ago. Is that a problem?
It is a very common starting point and a straightforward one. We usually containerise the existing application first so nothing changes functionally, move it to managed infrastructure with backups and TLS handled properly, and only then start improving the architecture.
Do you take over on-call?
We can run first-line response during an agreed window, or set up the rotation, tooling and runbooks so your own team can. Most clients start with us covering it and transition over six to twelve months.
