PLATFORM BUILD AND MIGRATION

Infrastructure, done on purpose.

New platforms built from the ground up, and migrations in any direction. A defined scope, a fixed price, and a finish date we actually mean.

SCOPE
SOUND FAMILIAR?
  • Deploys are a ritual only one person knows.
  • You are still on the setup that was right three years ago.
  • Enterprise deals keep asking about SOC 2.

This is project work: a defined scope, a real deadline, and infrastructure that outlasts the people who built it.

WHAT WE BUILD

FIVE KINDS OF PROJECT
01

Foundations

The full base: Terraform for everything, CI/CD pipelines, environments, secrets, monitoring. The setup a first infrastructure hire would take a year to build.

02

Container platforms

Kubernetes done properly: autoscaling, deployments, observability. Or the honest advice that you do not need it yet. We give that too.

03

Migrations

Any direction: onto the cloud, between clouds, off the cloud when the math says so, or onto our own metal. Planned around your uptime, not our convenience.

04

Cost sprints

The audit found the waste, this is where it gets removed: rightsizing, storage, commitments, idle everything. Small scope, fast payback.

05

SOC 2 infrastructure readiness

The technical half of compliance: logging and audit trails, access control, encryption, backups, monitoring. A licensed CPA firm runs the audit itself, and the policy side is its own track. We prepare the infrastructure so the audit finds what it expects.

HOW A FIXED PRICE SURVIVES REALITY

Every project starts with a written scope: what gets built, what does not, and what done means. The price is attached to that scope and does not move. If you want something outside it, we scope that separately, and you decide. No meters running, no surprise line items, no quiet expansions.

HOW MIGRATIONS HAPPEN WITHOUT DRAMA

BORING BY DESIGN

Migrations are planned backwards from one question: what is the maximum downtime you can accept, including none.

Everything rehearses before it happens.

  1. 01We build the new home alongside the one that is running.
  2. 02The data is mirrored, and stays mirrored.
  3. 03The cutover is tested on a copy first.
  4. 04Only then does production move, in your quiet hours, with a rollback ready.
WHAT YOU GET AT THE END

Every project ends the same way.

Documentation

Written so a new engineer can follow it without you in the room.

A recorded walkthrough

The whole setup explained once, kept for whoever joins later.

A handover session

With your team, live, until the questions run out.

And for the first thirty days after handover, questions and fixes on anything we built are on us. After that, some teams run it themselves. Some hand it straight to our managed service. Both are fine outcomes.

PRICING

NOT HOURLY, NEVER HOURLY

A fixed price for a defined scope, agreed before we start. Larger builds break into staged milestones, each with its own price and its own deliverable.

QUESTIONS WE GET

ASK US ANYTHING ELSE ON THE CALL
How long do projects take?
Foundations usually take four to six weeks. Migrations run from six weeks to four months, depending on what moves and how much downtime you can accept. Real dates get set in the scoping call.
What if the scope turns out to be wrong?
Then we scoped it badly, and that is on us. The price holds. This is why the scoping call is thorough.
Do you work with our developers?
Yes. Their context makes the build better, and the handover starts on day one, not at the end.
Does development stop while you build?
No. We build alongside your running product, and the cutover is the only moment that needs coordination. Your roadmap keeps moving.
What do you need from us?
A few hours a week from someone who knows the application, and a bit more attention during cutover week. We will tell you exactly when.
Can you build outside the cloud?
Yes. On premise, hybrid, or our own metal. Same discipline everywhere.
Who owns what you build?
You do, from the first commit. Your repos, your accounts, your keys. We are guests with a project.
Does SOC 2 readiness mean we end up certified?
You end up ready on the infrastructure side. A licensed CPA firm performs the audit itself, and written policies and staff training are a separate track. We are glad to point you to both.
How much does it cost?
A fixed price attached to a written scope, agreed before we start. Milestones for bigger builds. It does not change mid project.

Tell us what you are building, or escaping.

We will tell you what we would build, what we would not touch, and roughly how long it takes. Sometimes the answer is that your current setup is fine. We say that too.
