Cloud Solutions & Infrastructure

A straightforward cloud migration (lift-and-shift of an existing application) starts around $8,000–$20,000. Re-architecting for cloud-native scalability — containerisation, serverless, managed databases — ranges from $25,000–$100,000+ depending on system complexity. We provide a free infrastructure audit and detailed quote.

A single-application lift-and-shift migration takes 3–6 weeks. Full re-architecture of a complex platform with multiple services, data migration, and zero-downtime cutover takes 12–24 weeks. We use a proven phased approach: assess, migrate non-production first, parallel-run, then cut over.

We are experienced across AWS (our primary platform), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. We also work with DigitalOcean and Hetzner for cost-efficient workloads. Our infrastructure is managed with Terraform for reproducibility and Ansible for configuration, making it provider-portable.

Yes, for well-planned migrations. We use blue-green deployment, traffic gradual shifting, read replica promotion, and DNS-based cutover strategies to ensure continuity. For database-heavy systems we run a synchronised parallel-run period before committing the cutover.

We conduct a cost analysis as part of every engagement: right-sizing instances, using Reserved Instances or Committed Use Discounts for predictable workloads, implementing auto-scaling to eliminate idle capacity, moving infrequently accessed data to cheaper storage tiers, and setting up cost budgets and alerts.

Yes. We offer managed cloud services including 24/7 uptime monitoring, incident response, security patching, cost optimisation reviews, and capacity planning. Clients on managed plans receive a monthly infrastructure report and quarterly optimisation recommendations.
