Independent cloud, DevOps & architecture consultancy

Services

Capabilities that cover the full delivery lifecycle.

Cloud migration, platform engineering, architecture, SRE, security and embedded specialists. Senior capability for organisations that need to deliver.

Cloud migration & landing zones

01 · Migration

Move to, from or between clouds without losing control of cost, security or momentum.

Whether you are taking your first workload to the cloud, leaving a data centre or rationalising a multi-cloud estate, we plan and deliver migrations around the way your business actually works. We build landing zones with sensible guardrails, then migrate in waves with rollback paths that are tested, not assumed.

  • Target architecture and migration plan
  • Landing zones and account structure
  • Network and connectivity design
  • Identity and access guardrails
  • Wave planning and cutover runbooks
  • Cost and tagging strategy

Good fit if: A defined estate to move, a new cloud foundation to stand up, or an inherited environment that needs to be brought under control.

Platform engineering & DevOps

02 · Engineering

Make delivery faster and more predictable with platforms and pipelines your team can own.

We build the paved road: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, environment strategy, golden images and developer self-service. The aim is not tooling for its own sake — it is fewer manual steps, fewer surprises and a team that can ship confidently.

  • Infrastructure as code
  • CI/CD pipelines and release automation
  • Environment and branching strategy
  • Container platforms
  • Golden images and patching
  • Developer self-service

Good fit if: Delivery slowed by manual processes, fragile releases, or infrastructure that only one person understands.

Architecture & technical strategy

03 · Advisory

Independent advice for the decisions that are expensive to get wrong.

We provide a second opinion on cloud strategy, target architectures, multi-cloud operations, resilience and major technology choices. Our recommendations are grounded in delivery experience — including the operational consequences of the design.

  • Current-state assessment
  • Target architecture and principles
  • Cloud and vendor strategy
  • Resilience and disaster recovery design
  • Cost and risk modelling
  • Decision records and roadmaps

Good fit if: A major commitment ahead, a contract renewal to negotiate, or a programme that needs an independent technical view.

SRE, observability & operations

04 · Operations

Know what is happening in production — and what to do about it.

We design monitoring and alerting that people trust, build runbooks that are usable at three in the morning, and help teams move from reactive firefighting to deliberate operations. That includes service objectives, incident process, capacity and cost visibility.

  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Logs, metrics and traces
  • Service objectives and error budgets
  • Incident and on-call process
  • Runbooks and operational readiness
  • Backup and recovery testing

Good fit if: Noisy alerts, surprising outages, or operational knowledge concentrated in too few heads.

Security, compliance & resilience

05 · Assurance

Security and recovery designed in from the start, not bolted on afterwards.

We help teams put practical controls around cloud estates: identity, network segmentation, secrets, patching, backup and disaster recovery. We work to the standards you need to meet without turning security into a paperwork exercise.

  • Identity and least privilege
  • Network security and segmentation
  • Secrets management
  • Patching and vulnerability response
  • Backup and disaster recovery design
  • Audit evidence and documentation

Good fit if: Preparation for audit, a cloud estate that needs tightening, or a recovery plan that has never actually been tested.

Embedded specialists

06 · People

Add senior capability to your team, for exactly as long as you need it.

Sometimes the right answer is one experienced engineer inside your team. We provide senior cloud, DevOps, SRE and architecture specialists for project or interim engagements. They work to your priorities, share knowledge openly and leave documentation behind.

  • Senior cloud engineers
  • DevOps and platform specialists
  • SRE and operations
  • Architecture and technical leadership
  • Mentoring and pairing
  • Knowledge transfer and handover

Good fit if: A clear mandate without permanent headcount, or a skills gap that needs bridging during a programme.

Engagement models

Work with us in the shape that fits.

Every engagement starts with a conversation about the outcome you need. From there we can deliver a project, add a specialist to your team, or provide an independent review.
