Let’s Grab a Coffee

Cloud architecture that holds up as you grow.

High-availability backend systems and scalable cloud infrastructure, designed, automated and monitored so releases stay routine as traffic grows.

The Challenge

Growth finds every weak point in your systems.

  1. 01

    Single points of failure

    One server, database or person that everything depends on.

  2. 02

    Manual releases

    Deploys that need a checklist, a quiet weekend and luck.

  3. 03

    Rising cloud bills

    Spend that grows faster than usage, and no one is sure why.

  4. 04

    No early warning

    Customers spot problems before your monitoring does.

/What We Do

From cloud foundations to on-call dashboards.

One team covering how your systems are designed, built, shipped and watched, so architecture decisions hold up in production.

  1. 01

    Cloud infrastructure

    We set up cloud accounts, networks and environments as code, with security and access controls in place from the first deploy.

    • Account structure and landing zones
    • Networking and private connectivity
    • Infrastructure as code with Terraform or CDK
    • Identity, access and secrets management
    • Backups and disaster recovery plans

  2. 02

    System design

    We design how your services, data and integrations fit together, and write the decisions down so your team can build on them.

    • Service boundaries and API contracts
    • Data models and database selection
    • Event-driven and queue-based workflows
    • Modernising monoliths step by step
    • Architecture decision records

  3. 03

    Scalability and performance

    We find what breaks first under load and fix it before your users notice, with capacity that grows and shrinks with demand.

    • Load testing and capacity planning
    • Autoscaling and serverless where it fits
    • Caching, CDNs and database tuning
    • Multi-zone and multi-region set-ups
    • Cost and performance trade-offs made explicit

  4. 04

    DevOps and delivery

    We automate the path from commit to production, so releases are small, frequent and easy to roll back.

    • CI/CD pipelines with automated tests
    • Containers, Kubernetes or managed services
    • Preview and staging environments
    • Blue-green and canary deployments
    • Security and policy checks in the pipeline

  5. 05

    Observability and reliability

    We make your systems explain themselves, with the signals, alerts and runbooks your team needs to fix issues quickly.

    • Logs, metrics and traces in one place
    • Service-level objectives and alerting
    • Dashboards for engineering and the business
    • Incident response and post-incident reviews
    • Cloud cost monitoring and tagging

Built on principles

Architecture you can live with.

Every system we design follows the same four rules, whichever cloud it runs on.

  • Secure by default

    Least-privilege access, encrypted data and secrets kept out of code from day one.

  • Automated

    If it's done twice, it's scripted: infrastructure, tests, deploys and recovery.

  • Modular

    Clear boundaries between services, so one part can change without breaking the rest.

  • Cost-aware

    Resources sized to real usage, with spend tagged and reviewed like any other metric.

/When Teams Call Us

For the moments when architecture matters most.

Products outgrowing their first set-up

What worked for the first users strains as traffic, data and teams grow. We find the bottlenecks and redesign the parts that won't scale.

  • Load testing and bottleneck analysis
  • Database scaling and caching
  • Autoscaling and queue-based workloads
  • Capacity and cost forecasting
/Tools We Work With

Cloud-agnostic, by design.

We work on the major clouds and the open tooling around them, and fit into what you already run.

  • Cloud platforms

    Where your systems run.

    • AWS
    • Google Cloud
    • Microsoft Azure
    • Cloudflare
    • Vercel

  • Infrastructure as code

    Environments you can rebuild.

    • Terraform
    • OpenTofu
    • AWS CDK
    • Pulumi

  • Containers and compute

    Run anything, scale on demand.

    • Docker
    • Kubernetes
    • Amazon ECS
    • AWS Lambda
    • Cloud Run

  • Data

    Stores that fit the workload.

    • PostgreSQL
    • MySQL
    • Redis
    • DynamoDB
    • Kafka

  • Delivery

    From commit to production.

    • GitHub Actions
    • GitLab CI
    • Argo CD
    • Helm

  • Observability

    See what's happening, early.

    • OpenTelemetry
    • Prometheus
    • Grafana
    • Datadog
    • Sentry
