Cloud Engineering Services

Design, build, and operate resilient cloud platforms that ship faster

Modernise applications and infrastructure without disrupting the business
Standardise cloud platforms for security, reliability, and cost control
Enable product teams with automation, self‑service, and clear guardrails

When our cloud engineering team is a strong fit

You bring deep domain knowledge; we bring the cloud architecture, platform, and delivery expertise to turn it into a scalable, reliable foundation.

You are moving from on‑prem to cloud and want to avoid painful missteps

You need experienced architects and engineers to design a landing zone, migration plan, and guardrails that won’t slow the business down.

You have fragmented cloud usage and mounting operational risk

Multiple teams have built their own patterns, and you need to consolidate onto a secure, standardised platform.

You want to improve developer experience and delivery speed

Your engineers are blocked by slow environments and manual processes, and you need automation, self‑service, and clear golden paths.

You are scaling rapidly and need a platform that can keep up

Growth is stressing your current infrastructure, and you need resilient architectures, autoscaling, and observability baked in.

You must meet strict security and compliance requirements

You operate in a regulated environment and need cloud controls, auditability, and policies implemented correctly from day one.

You want to build an internal platform or SRE function

You’re establishing or maturing a platform team and need help defining the mandate, capabilities, and operating model that will work in your context.

Example engagements

Where our cloud engineers deliver impact

Financial Services

Re‑platforming a legacy monolith to a scalable cloud‑native architecture

Assessed a decade‑old on‑prem monolith, defined a target reference architecture, and executed a phased migration to managed cloud services and containers. Reduced release cycles from quarterly to weekly while improving availability and auditability.

Healthcare

Building a secure, compliant landing zone for rapid cloud expansion

Designed and implemented a multi‑account landing zone with identity, network, logging, and policy guardrails baked in. Enabled new product teams to onboard to the cloud in days instead of months, without compromising regulatory requirements.

SaaS / Technology

Standardising CI/CD and environments across dozens of teams

Consolidated fragmented pipelines and bespoke environments into a shared platform with golden paths, templates, and self‑service provisioning. Cut lead time for changes by 60% and reduced deployment incidents through consistent automation.

Retail & eCommerce

Optimising cloud spend while improving performance and resilience

Analysed usage patterns, right‑sized workloads, introduced autoscaling, and replaced custom components with managed services. Achieved double‑digit cost savings while improving page load times and reducing operational toil.

Manufacturing

Establishing an internal platform team and operating model

Defined the mandate, skills, and roadmap for a new platform engineering function. Built the initial platform capabilities, set up SLOs and service catalogs, and coached teams on adopting the new model, enabling consistent, secure delivery at scale.

How we work

A pragmatic, engineering‑led approach to cloud transformation

We combine architecture, delivery, and operations expertise to move you from ad‑hoc cloud usage to a stable, scalable platform that product teams trust.

1. Discover your current state and constraints

Interview stakeholders, review architectures, pipelines, and operations data, and map critical systems and compliance requirements. Identify quick wins and structural gaps in reliability, security, and developer experience.

2. Define a target architecture and cloud roadmap

Co‑create reference architectures, landing zone patterns, and service standards aligned to your strategy. Prioritise initiatives by impact, risk, and dependency, with a clear sequence of migrations, platform builds, and retirements.

3. Build and harden the cloud platform

Implement core platform capabilities—identity, networking, observability, CI/CD, and environment automation—using infrastructure as code. Embed security and compliance controls, SLOs, and runbooks from the outset.

4. Migrate and modernise critical workloads

Execute migrations in iterative waves, choosing the right pattern for each workload (rehost, replatform, refactor). Validate performance, resilience, and cost against agreed targets before scaling to additional systems.

5. Enable teams and embed new ways of working

Create golden paths, templates, and self‑service tooling so product teams can ship safely without deep cloud expertise. Pair with your engineers, upskill internal platform teams, and transition ownership with clear operating models.

Business Outcomes

A secure, reliable cloud foundation aligned to your risk and compliance needs
Faster, safer delivery through standardised pipelines, environments, and guardrails
Lower total cost of ownership via managed services, right‑sizing, and automation
Clear ownership and operating models for platform, product, and operations teams
