How much do cloud services cost?
Cost depends on the number of applications and environments, the provider, compliance requirements, whether migration is involved and how much ongoing support you need. Your cloud provider bill is separate from our fees. After a free consultation we share a fixed quote for scoped projects, or a monthly plan for ongoing operations.
Which cloud should we choose: AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?
All three are capable. AWS has the widest service catalogue, Azure fits companies already on Microsoft 365 and .NET, and Google Cloud is strong for data and Kubernetes workloads. We compare them against your stack, team skills, regional data needs and pricing before recommending one.
Will we lose control of our cloud accounts?
No. Accounts are created under your organisation and billed to you. We work through role-based access with least privilege, and you can remove our access at any time. All templates, scripts and documentation are handed over, and you own 100% of the source code and IP.
Can you work with our existing developers?
Yes. Most clients keep their product engineers and bring us in for infrastructure, pipelines and operations. We document decisions, review pull requests together and run handover sessions so your team understands every part of the setup.
Do you sign an NDA before we share details?
Yes, we sign an NDA on request before any technical discussion. Access to your systems follows least privilege, credentials are stored in a secrets manager, and access is revoked when the engagement ends.
What support do you offer after setup?
You can choose a monthly managed plan covering monitoring, patching, incident response and cost reviews, or a lighter retainer for advice and changes. Response times are agreed upfront and written into the support plan.
Should we use managed cloud services or run our own servers in the cloud?
Managed services, such as managed databases, container platforms and queues, cost more per unit of capacity but remove patching, backups and failover work. For most small and mid-size teams, that trade is worthwhile because engineering time is the scarcer resource. Self-managed servers make sense for specialized software or very large, steady workloads.
Can you design our cloud setup for Indian data residency rules?
Yes. All major providers operate regions in India, and we can keep data, backups and logs within them. Some rules, such as RBI requirements for payment system data, mandate storage in India, while others depend on contracts or sector guidance. We map your obligations with your compliance advisers and design the architecture accordingly.
What is infrastructure as code, and why does it matter?
Infrastructure as code means defining servers, networks, databases and permissions in version-controlled files, using tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, instead of clicking through consoles. Changes are reviewed, repeatable and documented automatically, environments can be recreated reliably, and you are never dependent on one person's memory of how things were set up.
