Cloud Architecture

Serverless & cloud architecture, built to scale and to budget

Cloud-native systems that scale on demand and cost what they should

We design event-driven, cloud-native systems on managed services so your team ships features instead of maintaining servers. The result scales with demand and bills only for what you use.

Overview

How we help

Most cloud spend and most outages come from infrastructure that was sized for a guess and never revisited. We start from your actual workload and access patterns, then choose the smallest set of managed services that meets your scale, latency, and compliance needs without standing armies of idle servers.

Our work spans greenfield serverless builds and pragmatic migrations of existing applications. Where a full rewrite is not warranted, we use hybrid designs that keep stateful or latency-sensitive components on managed containers and push the rest to functions and event pipelines.

We deliver architecture you can run, not just a diagram. That means infrastructure as code, observability wired in from day one, and a clear cost model so finance and engineering see the same numbers.

Capabilities

What's included

Serverless application design
Functions, managed APIs, and queues composed into systems that scale to zero and back up automatically. No servers to patch or capacity to forecast.
Event-driven architecture
Loosely coupled services connected through events, streams, and message buses. Components fail and recover independently rather than taking the whole system down.
Managed and hybrid setups
We pick managed databases, caches, and runtimes over self-hosted where it pays off, and keep workloads on containers or your data centre when latency or compliance demands it.
Scalability and cost efficiency
Right-sized concurrency, autoscaling, and tiered storage so the system holds up under peak load and the bill tracks real usage rather than reserved guesses.
Infrastructure as code
Every resource is defined in version-controlled templates. Environments are reproducible, reviewable, and safe to tear down and rebuild.
Reliability and observability
Logging, tracing, and alerting built in from the start, with sensible defaults for retries, dead-letter handling, and least-privilege access.
How we work

Our approach

1
Assess workload and constraints
We map your traffic patterns, data flows, latency targets, and compliance requirements, then establish the cost and reliability goals the architecture has to meet.
2
Design the target architecture
We propose a service topology with clear trade-offs, choosing serverless, containers, or hybrid per component and documenting where each boundary sits and why.
3
Build with infrastructure as code
We implement the design as version-controlled templates with CI/CD, environment parity, and observability wired in so deployments are repeatable and reversible.
4
Validate, tune, and hand over
We load-test against your goals, tune concurrency and storage tiers for cost, and hand over runbooks and dashboards so your team operates it with confidence.
Use cases

Where it fits

Spiky and seasonal workloads

Traffic that surges with campaigns, batch jobs, or business cycles. Serverless absorbs the peaks and costs little when idle, so you stop paying for headroom you rarely use.

Migrating off ageing servers

Applications pinned to over-provisioned VMs or a single data centre. We move them to managed and serverless services in stages, cutting operational toil and fixed cost.

Event and data pipelines

Ingesting, transforming, and routing high volumes of events or records. Stream and queue-based designs process work reliably and scale without manual capacity planning.

New products under pressure to ship

Teams that need to launch quickly without a dedicated platform group. Managed services and infrastructure as code let a small team run a production-grade system.

FAQ

Common questions

Is serverless always the right choice?
No, and we will tell you when it is not. Serverless suits variable, event-driven, and bursty workloads. Steady high-throughput or latency-critical components often run better on managed containers, which is why we frequently recommend hybrid designs.
Will this lock us into one cloud provider?
We are explicit about where managed services create lock-in and where portability is worth the cost. Architecture decisions are documented with their trade-offs so you choose deliberately rather than by default.
Can you work with our existing cloud setup?
Yes. We assess what you already run and migrate incrementally where it makes sense, rather than insisting on a rebuild. For broader engagements see our other services or get in touch.
