Cloud designed to scale and cost what it should.
Cloud-native architectures built to scale when needed and shrink when not. AWS, GCP, Azure: we help you pick the right one for your case. CI/CD, IaC, DevSecOps, ongoing FinOps.
All our projects are covered by £10 million of professional indemnity insurance (verify here)
+ an additional £1 million dedicated to data security (verify here).
Cloud-native architectures, properly.
Cloud-native doesn't mean 'put on EC2 instead of on-prem'. It means Kubernetes containers where complex orchestration is needed, serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run) for event-driven or burst workloads, managed services for the functions where the cloud is more efficient than self-managed.
Event-driven architecture with SNS/SQS, EventBridge, Pub/Sub: loosely coupled components scaling independently. Right storage for the case: S3 for object, RDS for relational, DynamoDB for high-throughput NoSQL, OpenSearch for search.
Resilience for critical workloads.
Auto-scaling driven by real load, not by arbitrary sizing. Multi-AZ by default, multi-region when the case requires (global latency, disaster recovery, regional compliance). Automatic failover, tested periodically.
Chaos engineering: we simulate failures to learn how the system reacts, instead of waiting for the first real incident. SLO/SLI defined, error budget tracked, structured post-mortems on every incident.
Deploys that are frequent and reliable.
CI/CD pipelines enabling multiple daily deploys with the right level of safety: build, test, security scan, progressive deploy with canary or blue/green. One-click rollback. The aim is to make deploys a routine operation, not an event.
Infrastructure as Code by default: Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CDK. Versioned state, peer-reviewed changes, drift detection. Change history tracked on Git, no undocumented modifications.
Security inside the pipeline.
Security isn't an end-of-project check. It's shift-left: SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, IaC scanning, container scanning, integrated in the pipeline. Vulnerabilities are intercepted at merge time, not discovered months after deploy.
Zero-trust networking, least privilege by default (IAM, service accounts, network policy), centralised audit logs, integrated SIEM. Compliance tracked: we support controls aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS when the context requires them.
Cloud costs under control.
Cloud isn't always cheaper than on-prem. Without discipline, it can be a lot more expensive. Cost monitoring with structured tagging (per team, product, env), spike alerting, continuous optimisation: rightsizing, savings plans, spot instances, storage lifecycle policies.
Per-team showback: visibility into who spends what and why, to support more conscious decisions. Typical reductions: -30/50% on cloud costs in the first 8 weeks of intervention, with no performance impact.
Cloud is a tool, not an end in itself.
"Let's go cloud" on its own isn't a strategy. Cloud is an architectural choice: where it makes sense it accelerates, where it doesn't it can drive up costs. We evaluate together what to move to cloud, what to keep on-prem, what to run as hybrid.
Our work is building reliable systems that scale when needed and keep costs under control. We are vendor-independent: we suggest the provider that best fits your case, not the one with a commercial incentive.
