Cloud architecture that doesn't punish you on the bill.

What's covered

From architecture to monthly cost review.

We don't sell hours; we sell the right answer. Most cloud bills can drop 30%+ without losing reliability.

Architecture + migration

Greenfield design or lift-and-shift to cloud. IaC (Terraform / Pulumi) baked in from day one.

Cost optimization

Find where you're overspending. Reserved instances, right-sizing, savings plans, spot mixing.

Reliability + monitoring

SLOs, alerting that actually pages the right person, runbooks for the rest.

FinOps + reporting

Monthly cost breakdown by team / service / customer. No more spreadsheets.

Typical outcomes

Why it matters

A cloud account is a blast radius, not just a hosting bill.

Most SMB cloud accounts grow by accident: one engineer spins up a server, another opens a security group to debug, a third hardcodes a key into a repo. None of it gets cleaned up. The result is an account that is expensive, fragile, and wide open - and nobody can tell you which of those three is the worst problem. These are the failures we see when we open a new client account for the first time.

Root or admin keys with no MFA, often shared in a chat thread or committed to git.
Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0 on SSH, RDP, or a database port - a direct path in.
Backups that were never tested, so the first real restore happens during an outage.
Idle and oversized instances quietly burning a large share of the monthly bill.
No tagging, so nobody can answer 'which team or customer does this resource belong to?'

What we deliver

Concrete artifacts, not a slide deck.

Every cloud engagement ends with things you can hand to an auditor, a new hire, or your next provider. You own all of it.

Architecture diagram + decision record

A current-state and target-state diagram, plus a short written record of why each major choice was made (region, managed service vs self-hosted, single vs multi-account).

Infrastructure as code

Your environment captured in Terraform or Pulumi, version-controlled in your repo. Rebuilding a region or spinning up staging becomes a command, not a memory test.

Security baseline

MFA enforced, least-privilege IAM, secrets moved to a vault or parameter store, security groups locked to known sources, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging turned on.

Tested backup + recovery runbook

Automated backups with a written, rehearsed restore procedure and a stated recovery objective (RTO/RPO) - so a failed disk is an inconvenience, not a crisis.

Cost report you can read

Spend broken down by team, service, and environment, with the specific right-sizing and reserved-capacity moves that cut the bill, and the savings each one delivered.

Monitoring + alerting

SLOs on the things that matter, alerts that page the right person (and stay quiet otherwise), and runbooks for the common failures so on-call is not guesswork.

How an engagement runs

Four phases, each with a deliverable and a date.

A typical migration or hardening project for a moderately complex shop runs 8-16 weeks. You see progress every week, not just at the end.

Week 1: Assess

Read-only access to your accounts. We inventory what exists, map dependencies, flag the security and cost problems, and confirm scope. Deliverable: current-state diagram + findings list with severity.

Weeks 2-3: Design + plan

Target architecture, region and service choices, migration or remediation sequence, downtime windows, rollback plan. Deliverable: target diagram, IaC skeleton, and a step-by-step runbook you sign off on.

Weeks 3-12: Build + migrate

We implement in stages behind IaC, validate each cutover against the rollback plan, and keep the old path live until the new one is proven. Deliverable: working environment, migrated workloads, security baseline applied.

Weeks 12-16: Optimize + hand over

Right-sizing, reserved capacity, monitoring, and backup testing. Deliverable: cost report with realized savings, tested recovery runbook, and a handover doc - or a retainer if you want us to keep running it.

Cloud services FAQ

Which cloud should I pick?

Depends on your geography, team, compliance, and what you already have. India-heavy infra: usually Hetzner or AWS Mumbai. US-heavy: AWS or GCP. Multi-cloud is fine if you have a real reason; usually you do not.

Can you fix our high AWS bill?

Usually yes. We start with a free 1-hour cost review. If we can find at least 20% savings in our analysis, we propose a fixed-fee remediation project; if not, no charge for the review. Cost reductions vary by environment; we quote after reviewing your actual bill.

Do you handle migrations from on-prem?

Yes - both lift-and-shift and re-architect. We scope based on what you have today (workloads, data, dependencies, downtime tolerance). Typical migration project: 8-16 weeks for a moderately complex shop.

What about Kubernetes?

We use Kubernetes when it fits - usually when you have multiple services, autoscaling needs, and an operations team. We do not push K8s on a 3-service company that would be fine on ECS or a couple of VMs.

Do you support ongoing operations?

Yes. Monthly retainer covers monitoring, patching, on-call, monthly cost review, quarterly architecture review. Most clients on retainer have us as their 'cloud team' because they don't want to hire one.
