Hosting, DevOps & Cloud

We build cloud infrastructure that ensures scalability, performance, security, and reliability for your applications — using DevOps and XP practices that promote automation, feedback, and continuous improvement.

  1. 1
    Infrastructure Discovery & Planning
    Goal: Understand app needs, user load, security context, and compliance requirements.
    • Review current infrastructure (if any) and system dependencies
    • Determine scalability targets and availability expectations
    • Identify compliance needs (GDPR, POPIA, HIPAA, etc.)
    • Define initial environments and deployment needs
    Deliverables:
    • Infrastructure Assessment Report
    • Capacity & Availability Targets
    • Compliance & Security Checklist
  2. 2
    Architecture & Tooling Design
    Goal: Design cloud-native, secure, and observable infrastructure.
    • Choose between serverless, containerized, or VM-based approach
    • Select DevOps tools (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
    • Plan for autoscaling, secrets management, and network security
    Deliverables:
    • Cloud Architecture Diagrams
    • DevOps Toolchain Selection
    • Security & Access Control Plans
  3. 3
    Environment Provisioning & CI/CD Setup
    Goal: Automate infrastructure creation and setup build/deploy pipelines.
    • Write infrastructure-as-code scripts (IaC)
    • Configure CI/CD pipelines with environment separation
    • Enable test automation in pipelines
    Deliverables:
    • Terraform or Pulumi Scripts
    • CI/CD Pipelines (Staging & Prod)
    • Dev/Test/Staging Environment Provisioning
  4. 4
    Security, Monitoring & Reliability
    Goal: Harden infrastructure and ensure visibility into system behavior.
    • Setup logging, monitoring, and alerting (e.g. Grafana, Sentry, Datadog)
    • Configure backups and disaster recovery
    • Scan for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
    Deliverables:
    • Monitoring Dashboards
    • Backup & Recovery Plans
    • Security Scan Reports
  5. 5
    5. Iterative Deployment & Ops
    Goal: Deploy changes safely and adapt infrastructure incrementally.
    • Deploy infrastructure iteratively with rollback support
    • Use feature flags and blue/green or canary releases
    • Update configs via code with review workflows
    Deliverables:
    • Production Deployments with Audit Logs
    • Infrastructure Change Tracking
    • Release Notes & Rollback Plans
  6. 6
    Post-Launch Observability & Scaling
    Goal: Respond to real-world load and optimize infrastructure over time.
    • Analyze logs and performance metrics post-launch
    • Right-size resources and tune auto-scaling
    • Iterate on security posture and alert thresholds
    Deliverables:
    • Usage Metrics & Performance Trends
    • Optimization Recommendations
    • Security Adjustments Plan
  7. 7
    Maintenance & Support
    Goal: Ensure uptime, handle incidents, and support evolving needs.
    • Set up on-call support or SLAs
    • Respond to incidents with playbooks and RCA
    • Plan for upgrades, patches, and cloud cost optimization
    Deliverables:
    • Support SLA & On-call Schedule
    • Incident Reports & Root Cause Analyses
    • Patch & Upgrade Schedule
