Cloud and DevOps consulting
for software that has to stay up

Everything between your code and your users: cloud architecture on AWS, migration from shared hosting, on-premise servers, or an ageing setup, CI/CD pipelines, staging and production environments, monitoring and alerting, backups, and cloud cost optimization. We focus on the infrastructure behind software products and business applications. We are a software engineering team, so we set up the infrastructure the way the application actually needs it.

No, and we say so up front. We do not run office IT, helpdesks, laptops, Microsoft 365 tenants, or network hardware. Our cloud and DevOps work is for software: the web applications, SaaS platforms, APIs, and internal systems your business runs on. If you need an office IT provider, we are the wrong team; if you need the platform your customers use to stay fast, secure, and deployable, we are the right one.

It starts with a fixed-price audit of the current setup: what runs where, how it is deployed, where the data lives, and what breaks if a server disappears. From that we write a migration plan with the target architecture, the cutover approach, and the rollback plan. The migration itself is delivered in fixed-price phases, usually with the old and new environments running side by side so the cutover is a switch, not a leap of faith.

Most of the production systems we build and run are on AWS, including i-mve, the removals platform used by 510 UK companies, and COMPASS, a clinical research platform built with HIPAA access-control principles. If you are already committed to another provider, tell us on the scoping call and we will be straight with you about whether we are the right fit for it.

Often, yes. The usual causes are oversized instances, environments left running around the clock that only need to run in working hours, storage and snapshots nobody cleans up, and architecture that pays for capacity it rarely uses. The audit identifies where the money goes and what can change safely. We will not promise a percentage before we have seen the account, because anyone who does is guessing.

Yes. Adding a proper pipeline, automated tests on every change, and separate staging and production environments is one of the most common pieces of work we do on systems we inherit. Most projects that come to us for rescue have no staging environment and no CI/CD, and fixing that comes before any new feature work because you cannot safely change software you cannot reliably test and deploy.

You own it either way: every account, credential, pipeline, and piece of configuration is in your name and documented. Most clients then keep us on a monthly software maintenance and support retainer covering monitoring, security patching, dependency updates, backups, and incident response, so the platform stays healthy without you needing an in-house DevOps hire.

Yes. Most of our clients are in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. We are an offshore team based in Pakistan and we agree real-time overlap hours for each region at the start of every engagement. Cutovers are scheduled for your quietest traffic window, not ours.
