Service

Cloud and DevOps services for reliable, affordable software

We move, set up, and run your software in the cloud so it stays fast, secure, and affordable. You get automatic deployments, monitoring, and backups, and a team that keeps everything running after launch.

  • 1,200+ clients helped
  • Building since 2010
  • 15 services, one team
  • 50+ technologies

At a glance

What we build

We move and run your software and information on rented computing power instead of your own servers, and set up DevOps: the routine that builds, tests, and releases software reliably.

Every project gets its own squad from our 100+ engineers and designers: a project lead, a product designer, and engineers matched to your stack, with the same people from kickoff to launch.

The problem

Why teams look at the cloud

Many organizations run software on servers they bought years ago or on hosting nobody has reviewed. It works until it does not. A disk fails on a Friday. An update has to wait for a weekend. A busy day slows everything down.

The cloud changes the deal. You rent computing power and ready-made services. You pay for what you use, you add capacity in minutes, and the provider looks after the buildings and hardware, so your team spends its time on the software instead.

It is not a magic fix. Without good design, cloud bills grow and systems stay fragile. The value comes from how things are set up and looked after.

Choosing a path

Move, adjust, or rebuild?

There are three common ways to get to the cloud. The right one depends on how much you want to change and why you are moving.

Start with why

Savings, reliability, speed, and growth point to different paths.

Move in steps

Moving one part at a time lowers risk. You can learn on a small system first.

Plan the exit

We design so you can change provider later if you need to.

Move, adjust, or rebuild?

How much do you want to change on the way? We need out of our old hosting quickly, with minimal change: Move as it is; We want lower costs and easier growth, without a rewrite: Move and adjust; The old design is holding the business back: Rebuild for the cloud.

How much do you want to change on the way?
  • If: We need out of our old hosting quickly, with minimal change

    Choose: Move as it isLift the system across. Fast and low risk, but it will not use cloud strengths yet.
  • If: We want lower costs and easier growth, without a rewrite

    Choose: Move and adjustChange the parts that gain most, such as storage, databases, and backups.
  • If: The old design is holding the business back

    Choose: Rebuild for the cloudRedesign the system to use cloud strengths. The most effort, and the most benefit.
This diagram sets out three common paths to the cloud and the situation each one suits, from a quick move to a full rebuild.

Where it can run

Hosting options compared

Cloud is a family of options, not one thing.

Simple hosting platforms such as Vercel or Netlify

Websites and web apps that need to be fast and easy to publish.

DevOps in practice

From a change to a live update

DevOps turns releasing software from a nervous event into a routine one. This is the path every change takes.

From a change to a live update

A sequence of 5 steps. A change is made: A developer finishes a piece of work.; It is checked automatically: Tests and scans run within minutes.; It is tried in a safe copy: A preview copy shows exactly how it will behave.; It goes live: With one controlled step, often outside busy hours.; It is watched: Alerts tell the team at once if something is wrong..

This diagram traces one change from a developer's finished work through automatic checks and a safe preview to going live and being watched.

What good looks like

Reliability, cost, security, and speed

Reliability

  • Backups that are tested, not just taken.
  • Plans for failure, so one broken part does not stop everything.
  • Alerts that reach a person.

Cost

  • Costs estimated before you move.
  • Unused resources switched off.
  • Regular reviews, because cloud bills drift upward.

Security

  • Access limited to the people who need it.
  • Information encrypted and logged.
  • Updates applied on a routine.

Speed

  • Changes released in small steps.
  • Preview copies for safe testing.
  • Capacity that grows with demand.

How a move runs

How we move you to the cloud

  1. Understand what you have

    We list your systems, what depends on what, and what must not break.

    What it produces

    • System inventory
    • Dependency map
  2. Choose the path and the platform

    We pick the approach and provider, and estimate costs.

    What it produces

    • Recommendation
    • Cost estimate
  3. Build the foundation

    We set up the cloud environment, security, and automatic deployment.

    What it produces

    • Cloud environment
    • Release pipeline
  4. Move in stages

    We move one part at a time, with a rehearsed way back.

    What it produces

    • Staged migration plan
    • Rollback plan
  5. Tune and hand over

    We watch costs and performance, fix rough edges, and train your team or look after it for you.

    What it produces

    • Performance and cost review
    • Runbooks

Choosing the right approach

How we pick the right approach

We compare cloud, hosted, and existing setups on cost, performance, and the rules about where your data may live. Then we recommend the option that gives you the best reliability for the money.

Sometimes that is a full move, sometimes a smaller upgrade. You see the numbers either way.

Technology

The cloud platforms and tools we use

Our engineering choices on infrastructure written as code, containers and orchestration, release pipelines, and watching the system, written for the people who will own the system after launch.

We describe infrastructure in files using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation. This makes environments repeatable, reviewable, and easy to rebuild.

Pricing and timelines

Common questions

Questions about cloud and DevOps

Will moving to the cloud save us money?

Often, but not automatically. Savings come from paying for what you use and from less hardware work. Costs can rise if the system is badly set up. We estimate before you move and review afterward.

Which cloud provider should we use?

It depends on your existing tools, your skills, the services you need, and where your information must be stored. We work with all the major providers and recommend the one that fits.

Will there be downtime during the move?

We plan moves to avoid it, using staged migration and a rehearsed way back. Some systems need a short switchover window, which we schedule with you.

What if we want to change provider later?

We design to keep that option open where it makes sense, by writing infrastructure as code and avoiding unnecessary lock-in.

Do we need DevOps if we are small?

A light version helps almost everyone: automatic checks, a preview copy, and one-step releases. We match the effort to your size.

Can you look after our cloud after the move?

Yes. We can monitor, update, and tune your environment, or train your team to do it. See also our cybersecurity service for protection.
