Cloud that scales when you do, costs what it should, and never wakes you at 3am.

Cloud problems show up as bills, alerts, or anxiety. We get called on all three.

1. Your cloud bill grew faster than your revenue.

   An honest read of where the money goes, the wins available this quarter, and the structural changes that need a sprint.

2. You're scaling and the architecture is starting to creak.

   Database hot spots, queue backpressure, single-region risk — the usual suspects, fixed before they take you down on launch day.

3. You had an incident and don't want a repeat.

   Real postmortem, root cause, the small handful of changes that actually prevent the next one. Not a 40-page document nobody reads.

4. You're moving from “clicked it together” to infrastructure as code.

   Terraform or Pulumi, environments that match, deployments that don't require tribal knowledge. Done in the open, with your team learning as we go.

5. An enterprise customer wants data residency, SSO, or audit logs.

   Multi-region, identity federation, immutable audit trails — built once, defended at the next due-diligence call.

Done well, cloud work is invisible — your bill stops surprising you, alerts stop firing, deployments stop being events.

• Infrastructure as code, end to end. Terraform or Pulumi, modular, environment-parity, with a real plan for secrets and state.
• A cost plan with named owners and dates. Quick wins this week, structural wins this quarter, capacity model for the next twelve months.
• Observability that actually answers questions. Logs, metrics, and traces wired to one tool, with dashboards built around “what would on-call need to know” — not vendor defaults.
• SLOs and error budgets you can defend. A small handful of service-level objectives the team agrees with, plus the alerting that fires before customers notice.
• CI/CD with safety rails. One-click deploys, automatic rollback on health-check failure, environment promotion that's boring on purpose.
• A disaster-recovery plan that's been rehearsed. Not a document — an actual restore drill, run end-to-end before we leave.

Most cloud work starts as a Build engagement: a senior architect plus an SRE, four to twelve weeks, working in your account with audit-friendly access. We leave runbooks, dashboards, and an on-call rota that your team can run alone.

Many founders move into Run after the setup, so we keep operating the platform under a managed retainer — on-call rota, monthly reliability review, quarterly cost and capacity plan. Same lead, same context.

If you already have a cloud and just need a clean read, we can do a one-week architecture and cost review — short, paid, and the deliverable is yours regardless of what happens next.
