( Cloud and DevOps )

Ship it properly, then sleep.

CI and CD pipelines, edge hosting, monitoring and backups, on infrastructure you own.

Software that is not deployed properly behaves like software that does not work. Releases become events people dread, nobody is quite sure what is running in production, and the first sign of a problem is a customer mentioning it.

Deployment done well is dull, which is the point. Changes ship in minutes, problems are caught before users find them, and restoring from a backup is something that has actually been tested.

( What this covers )

Cloud Deployment & Infrastructure, in practice

CI and CD pipelines

Automated tests, builds and deployment on every change, so shipping is routine rather than a decision.

Edge hosting

Served close to your users, with caching configured so pages are fast wherever people are.

Environments

Separate staging and production, with preview deployments per change so work can be reviewed before it is live.

Monitoring and alerting

Uptime, errors and performance tracked, with alerts that reach a person before a customer does.

Backups and recovery

Automated backups, and a restore that has been rehearsed. An untested backup is a hope, not a plan.

Security hardening

HTTPS, security headers, secret management and dependency updates applied as routine rather than after an incident.

( Worth talking to us if )

Any of this sounds familiar.

Deploying means someone copying files onto a server
There is no staging environment, so changes are tested in production
You learn about outages from customers
Nobody is certain whether backups work, because nobody has restored one
Your infrastructure was set up by someone who has since left

( How we work )

The shape of a typical build

01
Review what is running
What exists, what it costs, and where the actual risks are rather than the theoretical ones.
02
Automate the pipeline
Build, test and deploy on every change, so releasing stops being a manual ritual.
03
Add the safety net
Monitoring, alerting and backups, with a restore tested rather than assumed.
04
Document and hand over
Written so someone who did not build it can operate it at short notice.

( What you end up owning )

Everything, and no strings.

Infrastructure configuration held in your repository
Every account and service in your organisation's name
Runbooks for deployment, rollback and recovery
Monitoring dashboards your team can actually read

( Built with )

Vercel
GitHub Actions
Docker
PostgreSQL
Cloudflare
Sentry

Mainstream tools with deep talent pools, chosen so you are never dependent on us to maintain what we built.

Questions about cloud and devops

Do we have to use Vercel?: No. It suits Next.js projects and it is our default for that reason, but we work with AWS, Cloudflare and traditional hosting where those fit better. The right answer depends on your stack and your compliance requirements, not on our preference.
Who owns the hosting accounts?: You do. Everything is set up in your organisation's name, billed to you, with us added as collaborators. Removing us never puts your infrastructure at risk.
What does hosting cost?: It varies with traffic and what the application does. Most small to medium projects sit in the low tens of dollars a month. We size it during scoping rather than letting you find out from an invoice.
Can you take over existing infrastructure?: Yes. We audit what is running first and give you a written picture of the risks, then fix them in priority order.
