DevOps & Cloud

Infrastructure with security and stability baked in from Sprint 0

Our DevOps team owns the repository, environments and infrastructure set-up, established against the architecture agreed in discovery. Releasing becomes repeatable and reversible, and recovery is a documented path rather than an improvisation.

What we build

In place before the first sprint

  1. Our belief

    Infrastructure with security and stability baked in from Sprint 0

    DevOps owns the repository, database, server and stack set-up against the approved architecture, with encrypted stores, segregated environments and an audit logging standard defined up front rather than added after the first incident.

  2. 01

    Cloud architecture

    Sized to your workload and operating profile, with every trade-off written down and agreed rather than assumed.

  3. 02

    CI/CD pipelines

    Build, test and release on demand, with a rollback path that has been exercised before you need it.

  4. 03

    Infrastructure as code

    Every environment version controlled, auditable, and rebuildable from scratch by anyone on your team.

  5. 04

    Monitoring and observability

    Health, performance and spend in one place, with alert thresholds agreed with you instead of inherited from a default.

  6. 05

    Cloud migration

    Off fragile legacy systems on a planned path, with minimal downtime and a documented way back at every step.

How we eliminate delivery risk

Releases should be routine, and recovery should be known

Infrastructure is where a bad afternoon becomes a bad quarter. Here is how that is prevented.

  • Outage risk

    Environments are segregated and rollback is rehearsed, not theorised, so a bad release returns to a known good state instead of turning into an incident.

  • Deployment risk

    Repositories, environments and pipelines go up before Sprint 1, against the architecture you approved. Nothing reaches production from an engineer's laptop.

  • Cloud cost risk

    Infrastructure is defined as code and sized against real load, and spend is reviewed at every milestone rather than discovered on an invoice a quarter later.

  • Vendor lock-in risk

    We engineer using open standards and portable, mature tooling, so your platform is never tied to one provider's proprietary black box.

Tech stack & architectural standards

Everything reproducible, everything in version control

If it cannot be rebuilt from the repository, it is not finished. That rule sets the tooling.
