Cloud and DevOps

Infrastructure that stops being a source of risk.

Deployment pipelines, environments, monitoring, and cost control on Cloudflare, AWS, and Vercel. Infrastructure defined as code, documented properly, and built so a new engineer can understand it in a day.

Cloud and DevOps
Where This Applies

Problem
shapes.

Only one person knows how to deploy, and they are on leave.

Staging and production behave differently and nobody knows why.

Cloud spend has grown faster than usage for reasons nobody can explain.

An outage happened and you found out from a customer.

There is no reliable backup, or one has never been tested.

Secrets are stored in configuration files and shared over chat.

Infrastructure a new engineer can understand in a day

Cloud infrastructure tends to be built by whoever was under pressure at the time. Six months later nobody knows which resources are live, what depends on what, or how to reproduce the environment. We make infrastructure explicit, versioned, and documented, so it stops being a source of risk.

Deployment that is boring

Automated builds, automated tests, environment parity between staging and production, and a release process that takes minutes and can be rolled back in one step. Boring deployments are the goal, because exciting ones cost money and sleep.

Environments and secrets done properly

Separate development, staging, and production environments with configuration managed outside the repository. Secrets stored in a managed secret store rather than in environment files copied between machines. Access granted by role and reviewed.

Monitoring that catches problems before customers do

Uptime checks, error tracking, latency and dependency monitoring, log aggregation, and alert thresholds tuned to your actual traffic rather than default settings. An alert nobody trusts is worse than no alert at all.

Cost control without breaking things

Cloud spend grows quietly through idle resources, oversized instances, unarchived logs, and egress nobody measured. We review the bill against actual usage and reduce it at architecture level, with visibility so spending stays understood rather than simply discovered.

Security posture as part of the pipeline

Dependency scanning, least privileged access, network boundaries, encrypted storage, backup verification, and a tested restore process. A backup you have never restored from is not a backup, and recovery time is a design decision.

Common Questions

Asked before
engagement.

Which cloud providers do you work with?

Cloudflare, AWS, and Vercel in the main, with experience across other providers where a client has existing commitments. The choice follows the workload rather than a preferred vendor.

Can you take over infrastructure someone else built?

Yes. We start with an audit: inventory what exists, identify the risks, document it, then propose the smallest set of changes that materially reduces risk. It is not always a rebuild.

Do you handle migration between providers?

Yes. Migrations are planned with a rollback path and a cutover window agreed in advance. We do not move production systems without a tested way back.

How do you reduce cloud costs?

By measuring first. Most savings come from eliminating idle resources, right sizing, adjusting storage tiers, and fixing architecture that generates unnecessary traffic. We report what we found and what changed.

Do you offer ongoing operational support?

Yes. Monitoring, incident response, dependency updates, and infrastructure changes under a support agreement with defined response times and a named engineering lead.
