Platform & Teams
Cloud platform engineering, DevOps and cost optimisation
We build the platform layer underneath your applications: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, Kubernetes, observability, security baselines and a cloud bill you can defend.
Daily
Deploys with automated rollback
25-45%
Typical cloud spend reduction after FinOps review
<15 min
Mean time to detect through proper observability
IaC
100% of environments reproducible from code
Definition
What cloud & devops means here
Cloud and DevOps engineering covers the automated provisioning, deployment, monitoring and security of application infrastructure, so releases are frequent, reversible and observable.
Capabilities
What is included
Each capability is scoped, estimated and delivered against agreed acceptance criteria.
Cloud migration
Assessment, landing zone, phased migration and cutover planning.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform modules, environment parity and drift detection.
Kubernetes platform
Cluster design, GitOps delivery, autoscaling and multi-environment promotion.
CI/CD
Pipelines with quality gates, preview environments and progressive delivery.
Observability
Metrics, logs, traces, SLOs and actionable alerting.
Security & FinOps
CIS baselines, secret management, and per-service cost attribution.
Deliverables
What you receive
- Cloud landing zone and network design
- Terraform codebase for all environments
- CI/CD pipelines with quality gates
- Kubernetes platform with GitOps
- Observability stack with SLOs and alerts
- Security baseline and cost optimisation report
Engagement models
How we can work together
Fixed-scope project
Defined outcome, milestone billing and a signed delivery plan. Best when requirements are stable and the business case is approved.
Dedicated squad
A cross-functional pod (architect, engineers, QA, delivery lead) reserved monthly for a rolling roadmap with sprint-level reporting.
Managed service / AMC
SLA-backed run and evolve model covering monitoring, incident response, security patching and a monthly enhancement allowance.
Implementation roadmap
How the engagement runs
Indicative timeline for a single-entity engagement; multi-country programmes are phased.
- 01
Assess · Week 1-2
Workload inventory, dependency map, cost and risk baseline.
- 02
Foundation · Week 3-5
Landing zone, IaC, identity, network and security baseline.
- 03
Pipeline · Week 6-7
CI/CD, environments, artefact management and quality gates.
- 04
Migrate · Week 8-14
Workload-by-workload migration with rollback plans.
- 05
Optimise · Ongoing
SLO tuning, autoscaling and monthly FinOps review.
Comparison
Managed PaaS vs Kubernetes platform
| Factor | Managed PaaS | Kubernetes platform |
|---|---|---|
| Operational overhead | Low | Moderate |
| Cost at scale | Higher | Lower |
| Workload flexibility | Limited | High |
| Best for | Small teams, few services | Multi-service estates |
Advantages
- Release frequency rises while incident rate falls
- Environments are reproducible, so 'works on staging' means something
- Cost becomes attributable per service and per tenant
- Security baselines are enforced in code, not documents
Trade-offs to plan for
- Platform work delivers indirect, not immediately visible, business value
- Kubernetes carries real operational overhead for small estates
- Requires the team to adopt new delivery discipline
Decision guide
Is this the right service for you?
Match your situation to the recommended starting point.
| If this sounds like you | We recommend |
|---|---|
| Two or three services, small team | Managed PaaS with solid CI/CD — skip Kubernetes. |
| Many services, several teams | Kubernetes platform with GitOps and golden paths. |
| Cloud bill rising faster than usage | Start with a four-week FinOps and rightsizing engagement. |

Often delivered together
SaaS Development
We build SaaS products the way investors and enterprise buyers expect: clean tenancy isolation, metered billing, self-serve onboarding, and unit economics you can actually see.
AMC & Support
Keep the systems you depend on healthy: proactive monitoring, defined response times, security patching and a monthly enhancement allowance — including systems we did not build.
Custom Software Development
When packaged software forces you to change a process that is genuinely your advantage, we build the system around the process instead — properly architected, tested and documented.
