Infrastructure that stays out of your way
Cloud & DevOps
Cloud & DevOps is the discipline that keeps everything else running — deployment pipelines, infrastructure, monitoring, and the security posture underneath a product.
Capabilities
What this covers
Cloud Architecture
Infrastructure design that matches the product's actual scale and budget, not a default over-engineered setup.
AWS
Application hosting, storage and managed infrastructure on Amazon Web Services.
Azure
Cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, particularly for enterprise environments already invested in it.
Docker
Containerized services for consistent behavior across development, staging and production.
Kubernetes
Container orchestration for systems that genuinely need automated scaling and self-healing.
CI/CD
Automated testing and deployment pipelines so releases are routine, not risky.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure-as-code practices for reproducible, version-controlled environments.
Monitoring
Observability into system health, errors and performance before they become customer-facing problems.
Security
Security-conscious infrastructure defaults — access control, secrets management, and hardened deployments.
Performance Optimization
Diagnosing and fixing real performance bottlenecks — database queries, caching, bundle size — with data, not guesswork.
How we approach it
Process for this discipline
Assessment
Evaluate current infrastructure (or design a new one) against actual traffic and reliability needs.
Architecture
Design hosting, scaling and deployment architecture for the product's real requirements.
Implementation
Build the CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure-as-code configuration.
Operate
Ongoing monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure evolution as the product grows.
Use cases
Where this shows up
- Production hosting and deployment pipelines
- Migrating from ad-hoc hosting to managed infrastructure
- Scaling infrastructure for growing traffic
