A process built to survive contact with production
The same four phases whether it’s a two-week audit or a year-long retainer — only the depth changes.
Assess
We map your goals, workloads and constraints, interview the people who run the system today, and audit what already exists. No rip-and-replace by default — we replace what's actually holding you back.
- Current-state audit
- Risk & constraint map
- Success metrics
Architect
A clear, costed design: topology, data flow, scaling strategy and failure modes, documented and reviewed with you before a single line of infrastructure code is written.
- Architecture diagram
- Costed proposal
- Failure-mode review
Build
Everything as code — Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD and Kubernetes manifests — shipped incrementally with weekly demos, so you see real progress instead of a status report.
- Terraform / Ansible modules
- CI/CD pipelines
- Weekly demo cadence
Operate
Monitoring, on-call and continuous tuning. On a retainer, we hold the pager and keep improving the system long after the initial build — on a project, we hand over runbooks and train your team.
- Runbooks
- On-call rotation
- Monthly review
