Platform review
We inventory accounts, networks, identities, services, dependencies and the decisions shaping the environment.
CLOUD CONSULTING
Your infrastructure may work today and still be holding back what comes next.
We step in when architecture, access, resilience or missing automation starts limiting the team. We review the environment, deliver the agreed changes and leave an operable roadmap.
THE PROBLEM
Cloud grows quickly. Without a shared foundation, every team ends up organising it differently.
Over time, accounts lose a common structure, permissions become hard to review, networks are improvised and resources are created manually. The platform works, but every change takes longer and nobody has a complete view.
WHEN TEAMS CALL US
The conversation usually starts with one of these situations.
We have used AWS for years and every team has built things differently.
We cannot clearly explain who can access what.
There are too many accounts, subscriptions or projects without a common structure.
Creating an environment means repeating manual steps.
Networks and connections have been solved case by case.
We need the platform ready for more teams, products or markets.
WHAT WE DO
We establish technical order before adding more complexity.
We can design a new platform or review the one you already have. We start with your applications, constraints, risks and working practices.
Cloud architecture
We define how to organise workloads, environments, connectivity, security, availability and growth.
Landing zone
We prepare a cloud foundation with accounts, networks, access, logging and common rules.
Identity and access
We organise IAM, roles and permissions so people and services have only the access they need.
Continuity
We review backups, disaster recovery and critical dependencies so there is a workable plan.
Infrastructure as code
We define resources with Terraform or OpenTofu so changes are repeatable and reviewable.
Governance and cost
We establish tags, budgets, ownership and simple rules for knowing what exists.
Roadmap
We prioritise what to fix first, what can wait and which changes need coordination.
Landing zone
The foundation of a cloud platform: accounts, networks, access, security and governance.
IAM
The rules that decide who can access each resource and what they can do.
IaC
Defining infrastructure in code instead of creating it manually in a console.
A FOUNDATION YOU CAN OPERATE
Architecture does not end when the diagram looks tidy.
It needs to be deployable, reviewable, documented and maintainable. We connect architecture decisions to repositories, automation, security, backups and observability.
Accounts and environments
Clear separation across production, testing, teams and business units.
Networks and connectivity
Addressing, segmentation, ingress, egress and connections.
Identity and security
Roles, permissions, secrets, traceability and common rules.
Operations and recovery
Monitoring, backups, restore procedures, documentation and ownership.

STAGEDOCUMENT
From a platform that is hard to explain to a foundation the team can understand and maintain.
HOW WE WORK
Explained decisions, reviewable changes and client ownership.
Understand
We review product, infrastructure, constraints, risk and growth plans.
Design
We document options and trade-offs before choosing an architecture.
Build
We implement in the client’s accounts and repositories whenever possible.
Validate
We check access, connectivity, deployment, security, backups and operations.
Transfer
We provide documentation and sessions so the team is not left with a black box.
WHAT THE CLIENT RECEIVES
Architecture that exists outside a presentation.
The exact scope depends on the starting point, but delivery stays in your accounts and repositories.
- Current-state inventory and map.
- Architecture diagrams and decision records.
- Terraform or OpenTofu code where included.
- Account, network, IAM and policy configuration.
- Backup and recovery plan.
- Prioritised roadmap and operational documentation.
WHEN IT MAKES SENSE
When the platform is already shaping product, security or growth decisions.
- You are creating a cloud platform and want a clear foundation.
- The current environment grew without a common architecture.
- You need to separate teams, products, customers or environments.
- Security requirements demand clearer access and traceability.
- You want to stop creating infrastructure manually.
OUTCOME
A platform that can be explained, reproduced and changed deliberately.
- Fewer improvised decisions.
- Clearer access and ownership.
- Reproducible environments.
- A defined path for growth.
- Useful operating documentation.
CLOUD CONSULTING
Does your cloud platform have a clear architecture, or has it simply grown?
We can review the current environment, identify the main risks and suggest a sensible order of work without forcing a provider or stack change.
