Cloud
Cloud application development with reliable deployment and sensible running costs
Cloud platforms let applications scale and recover from failures, but only when they are set up well. We design, build and move applications to the cloud with automated deployment, monitoring and attention to monthly costs.
Who this is for
- Companies moving applications from local servers to the cloud
- Teams building new applications that need to scale
- Businesses with unpredictable cloud bills
- Products that need better uptime and faster releases
Problems it can solve
- Deployments are manual and risky
- The application slows down when usage rises
- Nobody knows what each cloud resource is for or what it costs
- Backups and recovery have never been tested
What is included
What our Cloud Application Development service can include
Every project is scoped to your needs. These are the areas we typically cover; we agree the exact list with you before work starts.
Cloud architecture
Hosting design using managed services, containers or serverless functions, chosen to fit the application.
Migration
Planning and moving existing applications and data, with a rollback plan.
Deployment pipelines
Automated build, test and deployment so releases are repeatable.
Infrastructure as code
Cloud resources defined in version-controlled code rather than set up by hand.
Monitoring and logging
Dashboards and alerts for errors, performance and availability.
Backup and recovery
Backup schedules and documented recovery steps that are tested.
Cost review
Visibility into spending and recommendations to reduce waste.
Process
How Cloud Application Development projects run
A practical sequence with review points, so you see progress and can change direction early.
Assess
Review the current application, hosting, traffic and costs.
Design
Target architecture, security controls and migration plan.
Build pipelines
Automated deployment and infrastructure code.
Migrate or build
Move or develop the application in stages with testing at each step.
Operate
Monitoring, optimisation and support after go-live.
FAQ
Questions about Cloud Application Development
Which cloud providers do you work with?
We work with major public cloud providers and recommend one based on your needs, existing accounts and team skills.
Will moving to the cloud reduce our costs?
Not automatically. Costs depend on architecture and usage. We estimate running costs during planning and help you avoid paying for idle resources.
Can you migrate without downtime?
Many migrations can be done with minimal downtime through careful planning. We explain the expected impact for your specific case.
Who has access to our cloud account?
You own the account. We work with access you grant and can follow your security policies.
Moving to the cloud or struggling with your current setup?
