Cloud infrastructure built to scale with you

The right provider depends on your existing tech stack, team familiarity, geographic requirements and specific service needs. AWS has the broadest ecosystem and is our most common recommendation. GCP excels for data analytics and machine-learning workloads. Azure is ideal for businesses already using Microsoft 365 or Active Directory. We assess your specific requirements during discovery and recommend the best fit — or a multi-cloud approach if required.

Serverless functions (AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions) execute code in response to events without you managing any server. They are ideal for sporadic, event-driven workloads and scale to zero when idle, meaning zero cost when unused. Containers (Docker, running on ECS, GKE or AKS) package an entire application runtime and are better suited to long-running services with consistent traffic. We often combine both — serverless for background jobs and event processing, containers for the core application — to get the best of both worlds.

Yes, cloud migration is a core part of our service. We follow a proven lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect approach depending on your application, timescales and budget. A lift-and-shift moves your existing application to cloud VMs quickly and cheaply. Re-platforming introduces managed services (RDS instead of self-managed MySQL) for quick wins. Re-architecting rebuilds components as cloud-native for maximum long-term benefit. We assess which approach is right for each part of your system and execute the migration with zero data loss and a tested rollback plan.

Cloud bills can spiral without careful management. We implement right-sizing (matching compute to actual usage), Reserved Instance or Committed Use purchasing for predictable workloads, auto-scaling policies to scale down during off-peak hours, S3/GCS intelligent tiering for storage, and CloudWatch/billing alerts to catch unexpected spend. We also set up AWS Cost Explorer or GCP Billing dashboards so you have real-time visibility of exactly what you are spending and why. Our clients typically see 30–50% cost reductions compared to their previous hosting arrangements.

Cloud providers offer GDPR-compliant infrastructure, but compliance is a shared responsibility — the provider secures the infrastructure, and you (with our help) are responsible for how data is handled within your application. We implement encryption at rest and in transit, data residency controls (EU regions only where required), access logging, right-to-erasure tooling, and data processing agreements with the cloud providers. We can also produce the technical sections of your GDPR Data Protection Impact Assessment.

We offer tiered managed cloud support plans starting from £149/month. These include 24/7 monitoring, incident response, security patching, dependency updates, monthly cost reviews and a dedicated Slack channel for your team. For Enterprise clients, we offer on-call SLAs with guaranteed response times and a dedicated cloud engineer. All project packages include a minimum 30-day hyper-care period at no additional charge.
