Cloud infrastructure you can read, rebuild and afford.
We audit what you run and what it costs, capture it as infrastructure as code, and set up deployments any engineer can trigger. Migrations are planned workload by workload, with a rollback at every step, and a person reviews every change before it is applied.
What we build
01
Cloud and cost audit
A written report on security, reliability and spend, with the top fixes ranked by savings and risk.
02
CI/CD pipeline
Every change tested and deployed the same way, with previews for pull requests and a one-step rollback.
03
Infrastructure as code
Your existing cloud captured as code, so it can be reviewed, reproduced and changed safely.
04
Migration
Servers or a hosting provider moved to the cloud, workload by workload, with a cutover plan and a rollback.
05
Monitoring and backups
Alerts that reach a person, dashboards for what matters, and backups that have been restored at least once.

- The number and complexity of workloads
- Downtime limits and data volume
- Compliance and data-residency requirements
- Legacy systems that cannot be containerised
- Several accounts or regions
Ways of working
Most engagements are fixed-scope projects: numbered deliverables, a fixed price and a fixed date, all in writing before work starts. Product builds run as focused sprints with a working demo every week. After handover, Run keeps a system monitored, updated and improving month by month. The first call settles which one fits, and the quote states it in writing.
The AI angle
Run AI in your own cloud
Model calls through your own cloud account and region where the provider offers it, with logging and cost alerts from the first day.

Do you work with Azure or Google Cloud?
Our cloud work is on AWS, where we can review every change with authority. For Azure or Google Cloud we will say so plainly and, where useful, refer you to someone we trust.
Will a migration cause downtime?
We plan for none and agree the acceptable window in writing. Every workload gets a rehearsal, a cutover plan and a rollback step.
Who has access to our cloud accounts?
Named people with least-privilege roles, for the length of the project. Access is removed at handover and you keep the audit trail.
What counts as a workload?
One application or service with its data: a website, an API with its database, a background worker. A migration covers a set number; each extra one is an add-on.
