Consulting

Cloud infrastructure has to make sense to the people who run it.

We design, review and organize infrastructure on Google Cloud, Firebase and DigitalOcean: architecture, containers, CI/CD, environments, observability and technical security. Documented so your team can run it without depending on us.

When it fits

Signs of a cloud nobody keeps in order.

The cloud solves problems, and creates new ones if nobody keeps it in order.

  • You are moving an application from your own servers to the cloud.
  • Deployments are manual and every one of them is a risk.
  • You do not know which services are running or what each one is for.
  • You find out about outages from your users.
  • Development, staging and production look nothing alike.

What it includes

The layers of your infrastructure.

  • Architecture

    Infrastructure design or review, with service choices justified and documented.

  • Containers

    Packaging applications so they run the same way in every environment.

  • CI/CD

    Continuous integration and deployment, with automated tests and a defined rollback.

  • Environments

    Development, staging and production kept separate, reproducible and with configuration out of the code.

  • Observability

    Logs, metrics and alerts so you learn about a problem before your users do.

  • Technical security

    Least-privilege access, secrets management, verified backups and controlled exposure.

How we work

In phases, without stopping operations.

  1. Assessment

    We review what exists: services, access, deployments and dependencies.

  2. Design

    Target architecture with its decisions on record and the risks of the transition.

  3. Implementation

    We roll out changes in phases, without interrupting operations.

  4. Handover

    Documentation and sessions with your team until it can run things on its own.

What you get

Documented infrastructure your team can run.

  • Architecture diagram with its decisions on record.
  • Infrastructure as code when it is in scope.
  • Configured continuous integration and deployment pipeline.
  • Monitoring and alerting dashboard.
  • Operations and incident response runbook.

FAQ

What people usually ask us.

Do you work with other cloud providers?

Our experience is with Google Cloud, Firebase and DigitalOcean. If your infrastructure runs elsewhere, we say so up front so you can decide with that information.

Do you run the infrastructure afterward?

That can be contracted as technical support. The goal of consulting is for your team to run it without us.

Does everything have to move at once?

No. It almost always makes sense to migrate in phases, starting with what carries the least risk.
