Cloud advice from people with no reseller margin to protect
Architecture reviews, cost optimisation, and platform design across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We recommend what fits your workloads, not what pays us.
Where consulting changes the outcome
Short, high-leverage engagements aimed at decisions that are expensive to get wrong.
Architecture review
An independent read of your current design against reliability, security, cost, and operational load, with prioritised findings.
Cost optimisation
A line-by-line pass over your bill: right-sizing, commitment coverage, storage tiering, and the idle resources nobody owns.
Landing zone design
Multi-account structure, network topology, identity, logging, and guardrails defined as code before teams start building.
Security and compliance posture
IAM sprawl, public exposure, encryption gaps, and audit evidence assessed against the frameworks you are held to.
Multi-cloud and provider selection
An honest assessment of where multi-cloud earns its complexity and where a single provider is simply the better answer.
Platform and team enablement
Reference architectures, module libraries, and pairing sessions so your engineers can build without a ticket queue.
Short engagements, decisions you can act on
Most consulting work here runs two to six weeks and ends in a document your team can execute.
Access and baseline
Read-only access to accounts and billing, plus interviews with the people who operate the platform day to day.
Analysis
Architecture, spend, security posture, and operational practice assessed against your actual requirements rather than a generic checklist.
Findings and roadmap
Prioritised findings with effort and impact against each, presented to both the engineering team and the people funding it.
Execution support
Optional hands-on delivery of the top recommendations, or pairing while your team implements them.
Platforms and tooling we work across
Deep experience on all three major providers, with the infrastructure-as-code discipline to make advice reproducible.
When an outside read is worth buying
The moments where a second opinion is cheaper than the decision going wrong.
The bill is growing faster than usage
Spend rising quarter on quarter with nobody able to explain which workloads are driving it.
Choosing a provider
A commitment about to be signed, where licensing, egress, and managed service fit will shape cost for years.
Before a security audit
A SOC 2, ISO 27001, or customer security review approaching, and no independent view of the gaps.
A platform team finding its feet
An internal platform group that needs reference architecture and guardrails rather than more headcount.
What consulting is expected to return
Every engagement is framed so the value is checkable after the fact.
Spend reduced with evidence
Optimisation findings come with a projected monthly saving per item, so you can prioritise on return rather than effort.
Risk made visible
Security and reliability gaps written down, ranked, and owned, which turns unknown exposure into a managed backlog.
Faster, safer delivery
Guardrails and reusable modules let product teams provision what they need without waiting on a central queue.
Decisions that survive review
Written architecture decisions with the trade-offs recorded, so the reasoning outlives the people who made it.
Why teams choose us for cloud consulting
Advice is only worth having when the adviser has nothing riding on the answer.
Learn more about us →No resale, no kickbacks
We take no margin on cloud spend from any provider, so the recommendation is not quietly priced into our revenue.
Engineers, not slide writers
The people reviewing your architecture build and operate these systems, so the findings come with implementation detail.
Ranked, not exhaustive
You get the findings that matter with effort and impact attached, not a hundred-page audit nobody reads past page ten.
Advice you can execute
Recommendations arrive with reference code and module examples, not just principles.
Questions about how we consult
Scope, access, independence, and what you actually receive.
Which provider should we be on?
Is multi-cloud worth it?
What access do you need?
How much can we realistically save?
What do we get at the end?
