Infra
AWS or GCP. Docker by default. Kubernetes only when justified.
We pick infrastructure for the operational reality of your team, not for resume value. Most apps fit cleanly on managed services — App Runner, Cloud Run, ECS Fargate, or static export to Cloudflare/Vercel — without the operational tax of Kubernetes.
When Kubernetes is justified (multi-service, complex routing, large team) we run it on EKS or GKE with infrastructure-as-code from day one. Everything we ship has automated CI/CD, observability, and a documented runbook.
Tools we reach for
AWS
Default cloud provider — ECS Fargate, App Runner, Lambda, RDS, S3.
GCP
Alternative cloud — Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, BigQuery.
Cloudflare Pages / Vercel
Edge deploy targets for static-exported sites and Next.js apps.
Docker
Container packaging — universal artifact for every service.
Kubernetes
Orchestration when scale or multi-service deploys justify it.
Terraform
Infrastructure-as-code for repeatable, reviewable cloud setup.
When we reach for it
- Managed cloud services for any small-to-medium team
- Static export + edge for marketing and content-heavy sites
- Kubernetes for multi-service deploys with a dedicated ops team
- Terraform for any environment that needs to be reproducible
When we don't
- Kubernetes for a single-service app with no ops team
- Multi-cloud for teams under 50
Frequently asked
Do you support our existing cloud or move us?
We work in whichever cloud you already run on. We only recommend migration if the cost or capability gap is large.
How do you keep cloud cost under control?
Cost budgets in the cloud account, monthly cost review under maintenance, autoscaling boundaries set by us instead of the provider, and right-sizing reviews quarterly.
Should we run Kubernetes?
Usually no, unless you have at least one full-time ops engineer or you genuinely have many services that need shared orchestration. Managed services cover most workloads more cheaply.
