We’ll start with asking you a few questions, so that we get a good picture of your current situation and your options. For example, we’ll look at:

• how your data and systems are partitioned and what needs to be encrypted
• your compliance requirements
• your required uptimes and tolerance for data loss
• your solution’s ability to be scaled up
• the technical expertise you use to maintain your infrastructure. Your system will need to be industry accepted and understood
• your budget. Infrastructure management can be expensive, and we can help you optimise your infrastructure build and running costs
• whether you have ‘continuous integration and delivery pipelines’. When deployed, these reduce your risks and speed up the delivery process.

Once we’ve completed this analysis, we’ll discuss the results with you and, if appropriate, design and build a cloud infrastructure solution that meets your needs. Depending on your system and its complexity, it could be:

• based on Infrastructure as Code using tools like Terraform and native cloud building blocks, or
• for smaller projects, lightweight cloud tools such as Heroku, Netlify and Cloud66.

Whatever the solution, you can be confident it will have your unique needs at its core.
