Understand
Before deciding what to build, we learn how the work actually gets done. We measure where things stand today and agree the KPIs this software should move.
Services
Cloud operations and cost reduction (Azure, AWS, GCP)
We review your Azure, AWS or GCP setup and bill, clear out unused resources and oversized configurations, and bring the cost down. Then we can take over day-to-day operations, including monitoring, backups and security updates. Start with a cost review.
Who this is for
- Your cloud bill grows a little every month
- Nobody can explain what the money is spent on
- The person who built it has left, and operations are guesswork
- Nobody is lined up to handle incidents and security
- You want to move on-premises servers to the cloud
Common problems
Paying for things nobody uses
Test environments, old backups and forgotten virtual machines keep costing money every month.
Oversized from day one
Capacity sized generously at the start was never brought down to the real load.
No breakdown of the cost
Nobody knows what each service or department spends, so nobody can decide what to change.
Operations live in one person's head
There is no routine for monitoring and updates, so problems are handled only after they happen.
What we deliver
Cost review
We go through the bill and the setup, and list what can be cut, the expected savings and the order to do it in.
Optimization
Removing unused resources, right-sizing, reserved capacity or scheduled shutdowns, and tidying up storage.
Operations
Monitoring, alert handling, backups, security updates and incident response.
Cost visibility
Tagging and budget alerts so spending can be tracked by service and department.
Migration to the cloud
Moving on-premises servers and applications to the cloud, redesigning as we go.
How we work
From understanding your work to making the software stick and improving it — eight steps, with AI at every one. Hire us for all of it, or just the step you need.
Build
We build in short cycles and check each one against real work early, so the budget goes into what actually matters.
Grow
Software only creates value once it's in use. We make it stick, measure what changed, and keep improving — until your own team can run it.
Why work with us
KPIs before code
We agree what success looks like before we start, and check it in numbers after launch.
Product people, not order-takers
We build, ship and run our own products, so we think like the owner — and we'll push back on features that won't pay off.
Deep in your business
We learn how the work really happens before deciding what to build — including whether to build at all.
In use, running smoothly
Rollout, training, maintenance and improvement are part of the job. Software nobody uses creates nothing.
You're never locked in
We leave the know-how with your team. Keep us on, or take it over — your choice.
How we measure the result
When work gets faster, the time saved is quickly filled by other work — and unless someone measures it, the value the software created simply disappears. So we measure the same process before and after, and you can see exactly what changed.
- Monthly cloud spend
- Unused resources and what they cost
- Incidents, and time to recover
- In-house time spent on operations
FOR ENGINEERS
For engineers
How we cut costs
We match billing data against actual usage and start with the changes that save the most with the least impact. Anything that could affect performance or availability is assessed and agreed with you first.
What we look at
VM and database sizes, nights-and-weekends shutdowns, reservations and Savings Plans, storage tiers and lifecycle rules, log retention, data transfer, and unused IPs and disks.
Infrastructure as code
Where it helps, we bring the setup under code (Bicep, Terraform and similar) so changes are recorded and environments can be reproduced.
Where we are strongest
We run our own services on Azure and know App Service, Functions, SQL Database, Storage and Container Apps well. We also work with AWS and GCP.
How we use AI
AI helps analyze billing data and logs, review configurations and write runbooks, which shortens a review. People check every change before it is made.
Deliverables and handover
- A cost review report: what to cut, expected savings and priorities
- Architecture diagrams and runbooks
- Monitoring and alert setup
- Monthly reports on spend and operations
First step and contract options
Start by telling us which cloud you use and roughly what it costs each month. From there we begin in one of two ways.
Cost review
With read-only access, we review the bill and setup and list what can be cut and the expected savings. Your team can carry out the changes if you prefer.
Take over operations
We take over operations alongside the review and put monitoring and update routines in place.
Contract options
Fixed-scope contracts for work such as a cost review, or time-and-materials engagements for ongoing operations. We do both.
Frequently asked questions
What access do you need for a cost review?
A review can start with read-only access to billing and configuration. For any changes, we agree the work first, then ask for the access it needs.
Will cutting cost hurt performance or stability?
We start with what is unused or oversized, so usually not. Any change that could have an impact is explained to you first, for your decision.
