HomeServicesCloud, DevOps & Cost Optimisation

Cloud, DevOps & Cost Optimisation

Service Overview

We design, build, and run cloud infrastructure that is reliable, secure, and cost-efficient across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

From containerisation and Kubernetes to fully automated CI/CD pipelines, we remove manual deployment steps so your team ships confidently and often.

We also audit existing cloud accounts to cut waste — right-sizing, reserved capacity, storage lifecycle, and autoscaling — and put monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery in place so incidents do not become outages.

Problems This Service Solves

  • Cloud bills that keep growing

    Over-provisioned instances, idle resources, and unmanaged storage quietly inflate spend. We audit usage and right-size, schedule, and commit capacity to cut cost without hurting performance.

  • Manual, risky deployments

    Hand-run deploys cause downtime and inconsistent environments. We automate build, test, and release with CI/CD so deployments are repeatable and reversible.

  • No visibility when things break

    Without metrics, logs, and alerts, teams find out from customers. We put monitoring, dashboards, and on-call alerting in place so issues surface early.

  • Unproven backups and no recovery plan

    Backups that are never restored are not backups. We define RPO and RTO targets, automate backups, and test recovery.

  • Infrastructure that cannot scale

    Traffic spikes break single-server setups. We introduce containers, autoscaling, and load balancing sized to real demand.

Detailed Features and Capabilities

  • AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud infrastructure

    Architecture, provisioning, and hardening on your chosen cloud, defined as code with Terraform so environments stay consistent.

  • Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines

    Containerised workloads, managed Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE), and automated pipelines for build, test, and deployment.

  • Cloud cost and performance optimisation

    Spend audits, right-sizing, reserved and spot capacity, storage lifecycle policies, and autoscaling tuned to actual usage patterns.

  • Monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery

    Metrics, logs, traces, and alerting, plus automated backups and tested recovery runbooks against agreed RPO and RTO targets.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1

    Audit and assessment

    Review current infrastructure, spend, deployment process, and reliability gaps.

  2. 2

    Architecture and plan

    Target architecture, cost model, and a prioritised roadmap of quick wins and structural changes.

  3. 3

    Implement and automate

    Infrastructure as code, containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, and security hardening.

  4. 4

    Observability and recovery

    Monitoring, alerting, backup automation, and disaster recovery drills.

  5. 5

    Optimise and support

    Ongoing cost reviews, performance tuning, and incident response.

Use Cases and Industry Applications

  • SaaS platforms

    Multi-environment infrastructure, autoscaling, and zero-downtime deployments.

  • E-commerce

    Traffic-spike readiness for sale events, CDN and caching, and cost control off-peak.

  • Startups

    A lean, automated cloud setup that scales with growth instead of being rebuilt later.

  • Enterprise

    Migration, compliance hardening, and multi-account governance with cost allocation.

Case Study

Cloud cost reduction and CI/CD for a growing platform

Challenge

A scaling platform faced rising AWS costs and hour-long manual deployments with frequent downtime.

Solution

We containerised the workloads, moved to autoscaling infrastructure defined in Terraform, built CI/CD pipelines, and right-sized compute and storage.

Outcome

Monthly cloud spend dropped substantially, deployments went from hours to minutes, and downtime during releases was eliminated.
