AWS, Azure, GCP architecture
Multi-region, multi-AZ architectures designed for the specific workload — high-throughput APIs, data pipelines, ML serving, or content delivery.
CAPABILITIES · 05Cloud-native infrastructure
Infrastructure that scales — without an ops team to babysit it.
Cloud architecture, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, security, and FinOps — on AWS, Azure, and GCP. We design platforms that scale predictably with your product, get cheaper as you tune them, and don't wake your engineers at 3 AM.
What we build
Cloud platforms that don't surprise you.
Containers & Kubernetes
Docker, Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE), Helm charts, and the operational maturity to actually run it day to day.
CI / CD automation
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps — automated build, test, deploy pipelines with rollback, blue-green, and canary releases.
Observability & SRE
Logs, metrics, traces — Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK. Alerting that wakes the right person at the right time.
Security & compliance
Cloud security hardening, IAM design, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness.
FinOps & cost optimisation
Right-sizing, reserved capacity, savings plans, query optimisation, and weekly cost reviews. Most engagements pay for themselves in months.
Use cases
Three cloud engagements that paid off fast.
Where the cloud bill went down, uptime went up, and the on-call rotation got their evenings back.
Cloud cost overhaul
Audited and re-architected a SaaS company's AWS bill. Right-sized instances, switched to spot for batch workloads, optimised storage classes, and added budgets and alerts.

Multi-region active-active
Built an active-active deployment across two AWS regions with cross-region replication, automated failover, and a quarterly chaos exercise to validate it.

HIPAA-ready cloud setup
Greenfield HIPAA-compliant cloud architecture with VPC isolation, encrypted storage, audit logging, and the documentation needed to pass the audit.

Cloud-native, vendor-pragmatic.
We pick the smallest stack that fits your team's operating capacity — not the most fashionable one.

How we work
From chaos to control in six steps.
Most engagements start with a 2-week assessment — fixed price, hands-on audit, and a concrete roadmap.
01
Assessment
Current-state cloud audit — architecture, costs, security gaps, ops maturity.
02
Target architecture
Reference architecture for where you're going, with explicit trade-offs and budget.
03
Foundation
Networking, IAM, secrets management, baseline security, and CI/CD pipelines.
04
Migrate / build
Application-by-application migration or greenfield build. Always with rollback paths.
05
Observability
Logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, and the runbooks your on-call team will use.
06
FinOps & handover
Cost dashboards, weekly review cadence, and full knowledge transfer to your team.
Frequently asked
Cloud & DevOps questions.
What does a Cloud & DevOps engagement include?
A typical engagement covers cloud architecture design, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipeline setup, observability (logs, metrics, traces), security hardening, cost optimisation, and operational runbooks. We can engage as a one-time platform build or as ongoing managed-services support.
Which cloud providers do you work with?
All three major providers — AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Our team holds active certifications across all three. We also work with Cloudflare, Vercel, and DigitalOcean for lighter workloads, and self-hosted Kubernetes for regulated environments.
How long does a cloud migration take?
A focused application migration takes 6 to 12 weeks. Full multi-application migrations to cloud-native architectures typically run 4 to 9 months and are delivered application by application. We always start with a 2-week assessment that produces a concrete plan.
How much does Cloud & DevOps work cost?
Cloud & DevOps engagements at Appsmediaz range from $10,000 for a focused setup (CI/CD pipeline, monitoring, one-time hardening) to $150,000+ for full enterprise platform engineering with migrations, multi-region setup, and compliance. We provide fixed quotes after a discovery sprint.
Can you reduce our cloud bill?
Usually, yes. Most clients see 30 to 60% savings on cloud bills after an optimisation engagement — through right-sizing, reserved capacity, storage class migrations, query optimisation, and dropping idle workloads. We always quantify potential savings before charging.
