Cloud Architecture & Setup

Cloud infrastructure that doesn't surprise you on the bill.

We design and set up cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure or GCP — networking, compute, storage and security — built for your actual workload, not a generic template. Senior cloud architects, fixed scope, infrastructure your team can operate and afford.

— What we build

Four ways we set up your cloud infrastructure.

From a clean multi-account setup to a full cost and security overhaul, we design the cloud foundation to match your actual workload and team. (Need application-level scaling design, or Microsoft-specific AI/Copilot work? See our Scalable System Architecture and Microsoft AI Integration pages.)

Most cloud bills are high because nobody designed for cost they just clicked "create."

Most “our cloud bill is out of control” problems trace back to infrastructure that was set up quickly under deadline pressure — over-provisioned, unmonitored, and never revisited. Before we provision anything, we size it to your actual workload and set up cost alerting from day one — so the bill matches usage, and surprises get caught in days, not months.

Sized to workload

Cost alerts from day one

Security by default

No surprise invoices

1

ASSESS

Model your actual workload & compliance needs

2

DESIGN

Architect networking, security & cost controls

3

PROVISION

Set up infrastructure as code, repeatable

Outcome

We start with a workload assessment — so the cloud setup is sized to what you actually run, not a generic best-practices template.

Capabilities & stack

Boring tech that
ships on time.

We set up cloud infrastructure with proven, boring-on-purpose patterns — versioned, repeatable, and operable by whoever’s on call at 2am, not just the person who built it.

How we pick

01

Size to the actual workload

Before we provision anything, we model your real traffic, storage and compute needs — not a generic “medium instance, just in case” default.

02

Everything as code, from day one

Infrastructure defined in Terraform or CloudFormation, versioned and reviewable — so environments are reproducible, not console-clicked and undocumented.

03

Security and compliance by default

IAM least-privilege, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging are set up upfront — not retrofitted before a compliance review.

04

Cost visibility from the first day

Budgets, alerts and right-sizing recommendations built into the setup — so cost creep gets caught early, not discovered on next month’s invoice.

Industries

Cloud setup, tuned
for your industry.

Every industry has its own compliance requirements, data residency rules and cost sensitivity. We bring playbooks, not generic cloud templates — and design the infrastructure around your organization’s real constraints from day one.

01 · Industry

Healthcare

HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure for clinical systems.

02 · Industry

Finance & Fintech

Cloud infrastructure built for regulatory scrutiny.

03 · Industry

Retail & E-commerce

Cloud infrastructure sized for seasonal traffic swings.

04 · Industry

Logistics

Cloud infrastructure supporting always-on tracking and dispatch.

Engagement models

Pick how you want to
ship with us.

Three ways in — all senior cloud architects, all fixed against the cost and security outcomes we agree on before the first resource is provisioned.

Fixed-scope

Cloud audit & cost review

Best when you suspect your cloud bill or security posture isn’t right but aren’t sure why.

Fixed-scope

Project-based build

Best for a defined new environment or infrastructure overhaul.

Embedded

Staff augmentation

Plug senior cloud engineers into your team.

FAQ

The questions
everyone asks before kickoff.

Not sure if your cloud setup needs a fix or a fresh start? Book a 30-min call with a senior cloud architect.

Which cloud provider should we use — AWS, Azure or GCP?

It depends on your existing stack, team expertise and specific needs (e.g. Azure if you’re deep in Microsoft 365, GCP for certain data/ML workloads). We help you decide honestly rather than defaulting to whichever we’re most comfortable with.

Yes — we run a cost review that identifies over-provisioned resources, missing right-sizing, and untracked spend, then set up alerting and budgets so future creep gets caught early instead of discovered on an invoice.

Always with code — Terraform or CloudFormation — so your infrastructure is versioned, reviewable and reproducible. Manually clicked-together infrastructure is undocumented and risky to maintain.

IAM least-privilege access, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging are configured as part of the initial setup, not added later — so security isn’t a retrofit before an audit

Yes — we configure the account structure, logging, encryption and access controls to align with the relevant compliance framework, and can work alongside your compliance team or auditor.

In most cases yes — we plan a phased migration with validation at each step, so critical systems keep running through the transition rather than being paused for it.

For most businesses, one provider done well is simpler and cheaper to operate than multi-cloud, which adds real complexity. We recommend multi-cloud only when there’s a specific reason — redundancy requirements, provider-specific services, or contractual needs.

You own it, fully — the infrastructure-as-code repository, documentation and access, with no vendor lock-in. We hand over everything your team needs to maintain and extend it.
