What we do

Everything you need to build and run well on AWS

From a one-off review to a full platform build, we work alongside your team and leave you with infrastructure you understand and own.

AWS architecture & migration

Greenfield builds and migrations to AWS, on time and on budget. Multi-account landing zones, networking, and serverless or container platforms.

Platform engineering & CI/CD

Infrastructure as code with Terraform and CloudFormation, and pipelines that test and deploy every change automatically, so your team can release often and safely.

Security & DevSecOps

Security built in from the first commit: least-privilege IAM, guardrails, automated checks in the pipeline, and Well-Architected reviews of existing estates.

Cloud cost optimisation

Find and remove wasted spend, right-size what’s left and put budgets and tagging in place, using our own open-source scanner, costwatch.

AI on AWS

Practical generative AI with Amazon Bedrock: secure, private and cost-aware, built the way we build AI features into our own products in production.

Ongoing support

A senior engineer on hand after go-live for monitoring, upgrades, cost reviews and new work, on an arrangement that fits your team.

Why Cloud Adept

Advice from people who run production on AWS

We don’t just consult. We design, build and operate our own products on AWS, so our recommendations come from running real systems, paying real bills and handling real incidents.

Senior and hands-on

You work directly with experienced engineers who do the work, not a sales team.

Everything as code

Repeatable, reviewable infrastructure your team can own after we leave.

Cost-aware by default

Budgets, tagging and right-sizing designed in, not bolted on after the first bill.

Secure from day one

Guardrails and least privilege from the start, with public sector experience to match.

How we work

Clear steps, no surprises

Discover

We review your goals, your current setup and your constraints, and agree what success looks like.

Plan

A practical design and a fixed-scope plan, with costs and risks spelled out up front.

Build

Delivered in small, reviewed increments as code, working alongside your team.

Hand over

Documentation, knowledge transfer and optional ongoing support once you’re live.

What we’re building

Our own products, built and run on AWS

Alongside client work, we build software of our own. It keeps our skills sharp and our advice grounded.

Coming soon

Concordo

A calm, neutral communication record for separated parents: messages, a shared calendar, agreements and expenses, held in a tamper-evident ledger that can be exported for court. Web, iOS and Android.

SEO reporting for agencies. Search Console data, whole-site audits, Core Web Vitals and keyword tracking for every client, with AI-written fixes and white-label reports.
