Cloud

Cloud & Infrastructure

Cloud environments, deployment pipelines, hosting and monitoring set up so that a release is boring, a restore has been tested, and somebody knows when it breaks.

01The practice

What this covers

Infrastructure work is judged on the bad days, not the good ones. The questions that matter are whether you can deploy on a Friday without a knot in your stomach, whether the backup you have never restored would actually come back, and whether an alert at three in the morning reaches a person who can act on it. We build environments that answer those questions with evidence rather than assurance, and we say plainly when a managed platform would serve you better than anything we would assemble.

02Services

Inside Cloud

Each service page sets out the problem it addresses, how we approach it, the process, and what you receive at the end.

  • 01

    Cloud Architecture

    Environments described in code, sized for the organisation you actually are

    Cloud environments designed and defined as code, with network boundaries, identity, data durability and cost visibility settled before anything is running in production.

    • Amazon Web Services
    • Docker
    • PostgreSQL
    • Microsoft Azure
    • Google Cloud
  • 02

    DevOps & Deployment

    Releases that are routine rather than events

    Build and deployment pipelines with automated checks, controlled database migrations and a rollback path, so shipping a change is a normal weekday activity.

    • Amazon Web Services
    • Docker
    • PostgreSQL
    • TypeScript
    • Kubernetes
  • 03

    Hosting & Managed Infrastructure

    Somebody responsible for the platform on a Sunday

    Managed hosting for applications we build and applications we inherit, covering patching, backups with tested restores, scaling and a defined route to a human when something breaks.

    • Amazon Web Services
    • Docker
    • PostgreSQL
    • Redis
    • Terraform
  • 04

    Monitoring & Observability

    Knowing that something is wrong before your customers tell you

    Metrics, logs, traces and error tracking assembled into a small number of alerts that reach a person who can act, and dashboards that answer the questions asked during an incident.

    • Amazon Web Services
    • Docker
    • TypeScript
    • Kubernetes
    • Elasticsearch

Other practices

  • Web Engineering

    Public-facing sites, storefronts and browser-based applications built to be fast, findable and maintainable by people other than us.

  • Software Engineering

    Applications, platforms and integrations built for organisations whose process no longer fits anything they can buy off the shelf.

  • Mobile Engineering

    Native and cross-platform applications for phones and tablets, built for the conditions that only appear away from a desk — poor signal, a four-year-old device, and an app store sitting between you and your users.

  • Product & Interface Design

    Research, flows, screens and component libraries produced against real content and real constraints, so that what is designed is what can actually be built.

  • Consulting

    Advisory work that ends in a decision you can act on — a costed plan, an architecture you can build against, or a prioritised list of what to fix first.

  • Support & Maintenance

    Keeping systems patched, monitored and understood after launch — with a named route to a person who knows how yours is built.

START HERE

Tell us what you need from Cloud

The project brief takes about five minutes and gives us enough to have a useful first conversation rather than a generic one. If you would rather just ask a question, the short form is there for that.

We read every enquiry ourselves. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and tell you what to look for instead.
