Cloud & DevOps

Get your software built, tested and released automatically, and running reliably in the cloud or on your own servers.

Reliable releases and hosting

If releasing a change to your software means a late night, a long checklist and crossed fingers, something needs fixing. DevOps automates the steps between writing code and running it: building, testing and releasing. Releases become smaller, more frequent and less risky.

We set up build and release pipelines in tools such as Azure DevOps, and package software in containers with Docker so it runs the same way everywhere. We design hosting on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Oracle Cloud, or on your own Linux servers. Backups, disaster recovery and high availability are planned from the start, so a failed server doesn't mean a lost day.

Cloud bills tend to grow quietly. We review what you run, find unused or oversized resources and suggest where to save. For websites, we also set up Cloudflare for speed and security. Our team includes a Cloudflare Accredited Configuration Engineer.

  • Backups and disaster recovery: a clear plan for getting back up and running when something fails

  • Linux servers: set up securely and kept up to date

  • Monitoring and cost reviews: alerts before problems reach your users, and a regular look at what you spend

Technologies we use

  • AWS
  • Azure
  • Azure DevOps
  • Google Cloud
  • Oracle Cloud (OCI)
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • Cloudflare

Is it right for you?

A good fit if

  • Releases are manual, slow or often go wrong
  • Your software runs on one server and nobody is sure what would happen if it failed
  • Your cloud bill keeps growing and you're not sure why
  • You are moving from your own servers to the cloud, or between cloud providers

Maybe not if

  • You have a simple website on shared hosting that works well
  • You release changes once or twice a year and the process works fine
  • You want to move to the cloud only because others have. For some workloads, your own servers cost less

Process

How we work

  1. Talk

    We listen first. A short call to understand what you need and what success looks like.

  2. Plan

    We agree scope, timeline and cost in writing before work starts.

  3. Build

    We build in stages and show you progress along the way.

  4. Support

    After launch we stay available for fixes, updates and improvements.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Something else on your mind? Ask us.

What is DevOps?

A way of working that links building software with running it, usually with automation, so releases are faster and less risky.

Do we have to choose AWS or Azure?

No. We help you choose based on your needs and budget, or work with whichever you already use.

Can you set up Cloudflare for our website?

Yes. See Cloudflare Setup and Support for what is included.

What are containers?

A way of packaging software so it runs the same way on any computer or server. Docker is a popular tool for this.

Is the cloud cheaper than our own servers?

Not always. The cloud is quick to start with and easy to scale, but steady workloads can cost more there over time. We compare the options for your setup before recommending a move.

What happens if a server fails?

That depends on how it is set up. We plan backups and recovery from the start and, where downtime is costly, run more than one copy so another can take over.

Can you look after our hosting after setup?

Yes. We can monitor your systems, apply updates and fix issues, or hand everything over to your own team with clear notes.
