The cloud, done properly

Moving to the cloud fixes nothing by itself. A server moved as-is to Azure is the same server with a monthly bill - and a system designed carelessly in the cloud can cost more and fail more often than the one it replaced.

We design cloud systems properly: sized for your real workload, secured from the start and defined as code, so every environment is repeatable and reviewable rather than hand-built and fragile.

Everything we build - platforms and integrations alike - runs on this foundation, and we can run yours on it too.

Infrastructure defined as code on recent builds

From first design to daily running

Cloud design and migration

Moving systems out of the server room or off ageing hosting - redesigned for the cloud rather than copied into it, with a migration plan that keeps the business running throughout.

Infrastructure as code

Every environment - test, staging, production - built from the same reviewed code. No hand-configured servers, no "it works on the other environment", and disaster recovery you can actually rehearse.

Security and monitoring

Authenticated access throughout, sensitive references hashed rather than stored in the clear, an internal security review before release - and monitoring with alerts that reach our team first.

Proven under 17x the expected peak

A recent Azure-based service we designed was independently load-tested to roughly 17x its expected busy-hour peak - 3,480 requests at 99.5% success, response times inside a three-second target and zero application errors. That's what right-sized cloud architecture buys: headroom without paying for idle servers. More detail on the integration behind it.

Common questions

Azure or AWS?

We work with both; most of our recent builds run on Microsoft Azure. If you already have a footprint on one of them, that usually settles it - we'd rather fit your estate than restart it.

Can you run what you build?

Yes. We host, monitor and support our builds after go-live, with alerts that reach the people who wrote the code - see after go-live on What We Do.

Will the cloud cost us more?

It shouldn't - but only because we design for cost as well as performance. Right-sizing, scaling on demand and switching off what's idle are design decisions, and we make them explicitly with you.

What's your infrastructure costing you?

Whether it's an ageing server room or a cloud bill that keeps growing, we'll give you an honest view. No sales pitch - just a conversation.
