Services / Cloud Applications

Cloud applications built for the bill, not just the launch.

Cloud-native builds on AWS, Azure, and Supabase with observability, cost control, and security baked in from the first commit — not retrofitted after the invoice arrives.

Cloud is where most enterprise software now lives, but it's also where budgets quietly disappear. We build cloud applications that make deliberate choices about services, region, redundancy, and cost — so what you ship is not just working, but affordable and operable by the team you actually have.

If this sounds like you

Who is this for?

Teams evaluating cloud applications decisions with urgent manual overhead.

How fast?

Typical first output is a clear decision and implementation sequence, usually within a 1–4 week discovery window.

What will it cost?

A fixed-scope first step is available from our pricing page; discovery scope is defined up front to avoid open-ended work.

What result should I expect?

Reduced manual burden, clearer ownership, and a practical roadmap that makes the next decision easy.

Not a fit if you need a large transformation without any phased first slice.

The problem we hear

The cloud bill, the on-call rota, and the security review are usually the moments the mistakes surface. We prefer to make the decisions earlier.

The bill is a mystery

Nobody in the business can explain the top line items on the cloud invoice, let alone forecast next quarter's spend.

Observability was an afterthought

When something breaks in production, the team ssh's into containers and greps logs. Every incident takes hours to triage.

Security posture is 'we think so'

IAM, secrets, network, and data controls were configured by whoever set up the account. Nobody has re-reviewed them since.

How we approach it

Design for the bill

Instance sizing, storage tiering, egress, and multi-region choices made deliberately, with an estimated monthly cost signed off before build.

Observability from day one

Structured logs, traces, and metrics wired in as the first feature. Alerts on SLOs, not on CPU.

Security by construction

Least-privilege IAM, secrets in a vault, network policy explicit, data encrypted. Reviewed against a checklist your CISO can hold us to.

Operable handover

Runbooks, on-call story, incident templates, and cost dashboards handed to your team. We build so that we don't have to be the on-call rota.

What good looks like

A cloud application that behaves the same way at the end of the quarter as it did at launch — including on the invoice.

Mean time to detect and mean time to recover measured in minutes, not hours.

A security posture your CISO or DPO can defend to auditors, with evidence.

An internal team that can operate the workload without us on speed-dial.

How we work in the cloud

AWS

Serverless-first where it fits, container-based where it doesn't. ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, EventBridge, and the boring services that keep things predictable.

Azure

App Service, Functions, AKS, Cosmos, Service Bus, and Azure AD — often the right choice for Microsoft-centric organisations.

Supabase

Managed Postgres with auth, storage, edge functions, and realtime. Fast to ship, straightforward to operate.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform, Bicep, or CDK — everything versioned, reviewed, and reproducible. No console-clicked production.

CI/CD & environments

Branch previews, staging, and production with automated tests, security scanning, and canary or blue/green deploys where warranted.

Cost & FinOps

Cost tagged by workload, forecast dashboards, and periodic optimisation reviews. Cloud spend as a first-class engineering concern.

Client outcome blocks

Cost-controlled healthcare platform

Operational overhead and handoff gaps in a high-volume workflow.

A healthcare operator was running its platform on a set-and-forget AWS account with a bill that had doubled over eighteen months. We re-architected onto serverless components where load was spiky, right-sized what remained, and delivered a cost dashboard tied to workload — halving the monthly spend without reducing functionality.

Typical delivery duration: Usually visible within the first release cycle.

Supabase-based operations app

Operational overhead and handoff gaps in a high-volume workflow.

A B2B operator needed a new operational app on a compressed timeline. Built on Supabase with a React front end, we shipped a live pilot in six weeks with auth, realtime, storage, and edge functions — deferring a heavier cloud footprint until the workload actually demanded it.

Typical delivery duration: Usually visible within the first release cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Which cloud do you prefer?

The one that matches your existing skills, contracts, and data sovereignty needs. We use AWS, Azure, and Supabase in production and will recommend based on the situation.

Do you offer managed hosting?

We can run workloads for a fixed period after go-live, but the design goal is always an internal team able to operate the system. Managed hosting is a bridge, not the destination.

What about UK data residency?

Standard. All three of our default clouds have UK regions and we default to them unless the workload requires otherwise.

How do you handle disaster recovery?

Deliberately. RPO/RTO agreed with the business, tested with a real drill, and documented in the runbook — not a paragraph in a design document.

Do you migrate off other clouds or on-premise?

Regularly. Migration is scoped honestly — sometimes the answer is 'lift and shift first, then re-architect', sometimes it's 'rebuild in place'. We say which.

Cloud bill or on-call rota keeping you up?

Those are the symptoms we most often fix. Let's have a look at what's actually running.
