Overview
Cloud and DevOps, explained
Cloud and DevOps work makes software easier to release, cheaper to run and more reliable for users. It covers infrastructure, deployment pipelines, monitoring, security and the processes that keep production healthy.
We set up and improve cloud environments on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, automate builds and deployments and add monitoring so problems are noticed early. Our projects run on all three major clouds, from an Azure-based invoice system to AWS-hosted mobile backends.
Before you build
Decisions worth settling first
Settling these points early keeps scope realistic and makes the estimate meaningful.
01
Current setup
Review infrastructure, deployment steps and pain points.
02
Availability needs
Agree acceptable downtime and recovery targets.
03
Security requirements
Identify compliance, access and data protection needs.
04
Cost
Review current cloud spend and budget limits.
05
Release frequency
Decide how often you want to deploy safely.
06
Ownership
Clarify who operates and responds to incidents.
Services
What our cloud and DevOps services include
Cloud architecture
Design of scalable, secure environments on major clouds.
Cloud migration
Moving applications from servers or other clouds with minimal disruption.
CI/CD pipelines
Automated build, test and deployment workflows.
Infrastructure as code

Why PoliteTech
Why teams choose PoliteTech
Scope before commitment
Priorities, assumptions and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before a delivery plan is fixed.
Engineers who build
Recommendations come from the people who design, code and support the software, so they reflect real implementation effort.
Visible progress
A shared backlog, regular demos and recorded decisions keep you informed without chasing updates.
Practical AI
Evaluation sets, review steps, cost limits and monitoring are part of every AI feature we ship.
Flexible engagement
Start with a scoped project, a dedicated team or support, and change the model as your roadmap evolves.
Clear ownership
Repositories and accounts can live in your organisation, with IP and confidentiality terms agreed in the contract.
Industries
Where this work fits
Retail and Ecommerce
Build web and mobile journeys around product discovery, ordering and customer service.
Financial Software
Support reporting, document processing and internal operations through defined application workflows.
Logistics Software
Connect planning, task assignment and operational updates in one workflow.
Education and Elearning
Create platforms for content, activities and progress tracking.
Fitness and Wellness Apps

Process
A practical path from requirements to release.
Each stage ends with something you can review: a scope, a prototype, a working increment or a release.
01
Understand
Discuss your users, business needs, existing systems and delivery constraints.
02
Define
Agree scope, technical approach, responsibilities and a delivery plan.
03
Design and build
Develop in manageable increments with visible progress and review points.
04
Test and release
Validate agreed workflows, resolve release blockers and prepare deployment.
05
Support and improve
Document the handover, review production feedback and plan the next priorities.

Cost
What shapes the cost of your project?
There is no useful price without scope. These are the factors we review when preparing an estimate, and the estimate lists every assumption so you can see what would change it.
01
Platforms
Web, iOS, Android or all three, and whether apps are native or cross-platform.
02
Features and roles
The number of user journeys, roles and business rules in the first release.
03
Integrations
Payments, maps, CRMs, ERPs and third-party APIs each add scope.
04
Design depth
From using a component library to a fully custom design system.
05
Data migration
Moving and validating data from existing systems.
06
Non-functional needs
Performance, security, availability and compliance requirements.
Engagement models
Choose the engagement that fits your next step.
Dedicated Team
For a changing roadmap or ongoing development. Agree roles and working process, then manage priorities through a shared backlog.
Best for team extension and long-term product work.
Scoped Project
For a defined product or milestone. Align on requirements, deliverables and acceptance criteria, with changes reviewed before they affect the plan.
Best for MVPs, integrations and focused releases.
Maintenance and Improvement
For software that already exists. Start with a technical review, then agree support routines and planned improvements.
Best for live applications and modernisation.
FAQ
Questions about cloud and DevOps
Which cloud should we use?
It depends on your existing tools, team skills and services needed. We work with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Can you reduce our cloud bill?
Often yes, through right-sizing, reserved capacity and architecture improvements.
Do you provide 24/7 support?
Support coverage is agreed per engagement. We set up monitoring and escalation suited to your needs.
Can you migrate without downtime?
Most migrations can be planned with minimal downtime using staged cutovers.
Do you use Kubernetes?
When it fits. Many applications are simpler and cheaper on managed services.
Who owns the cloud accounts?
We recommend that you own the accounts, with access granted to our team.
Can you work in our existing cloud account?
Yes. Access and permissions can be agreed around your existing cloud environment.
Does this include round-the-clock support?
Support hours, response targets and incident responsibilities must be specified in a separate support scope.
How are pricing and timelines determined?
We review requirements, technical complexity, team needs and delivery constraints before proposing an engagement. Estimates list assumptions and what may change the plan.
Can we discuss a project under an NDA?
Yes. Let us know before sharing confidential materials so we can agree confidentiality terms first.
