Can you take over an existing mess?

Yes, with an inventory and a plan. We will not pretend a weekend rewrite is free.

Do you provide 24/7 support?

We can agree cover. Default is a platform your team can run with us on call if needed.

Will this include DevOps automation?

If it helps. Automation is a separate service when the pipelines are the product.

From a scoped shape. We will not hide a platform fee in a fog of hours.

Infrastructure that matches the product

Infrastructure that stays boring on purpose

Design Dev designs cloud infrastructure so UK products have a place to live: environments, networks, storage and a way to deploy. Excitement in infrastructure is usually an outage.

Environments that match

Staging that is close enough to production to catch pain.

Networking without folklore

What talks to what, written down.

Storage and backups

Data has a home and a restore path.

A deploy path

Infrastructure without a way to ship is a museum.

A clear infrastructure process from map to handover

Inventory and pain

What you have, what fails, and what must not move yet.

Target shape

The smallest design that matches the product.

Build environments

Networks, compute, storage and access.

Prove with a deploy

A real application on the new shape.

Document and operate

Runbooks, access and a restore drill.

Infrastructure should be smaller than the product

If the infrastructure diagram is more interesting than the product, something is wrong. Design Dev designs cloud infrastructure around what you ship.
