// the problem

The Cloud Tax

Cloud promised infinite scale at controlled cost. For most teams it delivered infinite complexity and an invoice that keeps climbing — regardless of whether revenue is.

Runaway Cloud Bills

Monthly AWS invoices that nobody can explain. Reserved Instances that expire unused. Dev environments left running over weekends consuming production-grade resources.

Over-Provisioned Everything

Engineers provision large instance types "just in case" and never go back to right-size. Databases and clusters hum at 8% utilisation. Headroom becomes habit.

No Cost Visibility

No tagging strategy. No team-level cost allocation. No chargeback. Leadership sees one monolithic bill and can't attribute spend to products, teams, or features.

Multi-Cloud Sprawl

Shadow IT spun up workloads on three clouds and two data centres. No unified governance. Security posture differs across accounts. Compliance is impossible to prove.

  Industry reality: The average enterprise wastes 32% of its cloud spend on idle resources, over-provisioned services, and unallocated spend — that's one-third of your cloud budget achieving nothing. (Flexera State of the Cloud 2024)

// what we build

Four Pillars of Cloud Excellence

We don't just cut costs. We build the infrastructure, governance, and financial operating model that makes cost control permanent and automatic.

FinOps Programme

End-to-end financial operations framework — tagging strategy, cost allocation by team and product, showback dashboards, and chargeback models that create real accountability.

// Tagging Strategy · Cost Allocation · Chargeback

Landing Zone & IaC

Production-grade multi-account AWS architecture built with Terraform. Service Control Policies, guardrails, and AWS Control Tower so every account is secure and compliant by default.

// Terraform · AWS Control Tower · Multi-Account

Cost Optimisation

Compute right-sizing, Savings Plans strategy, Spot Instance fleet management, and Karpenter-driven node consolidation. Cost savings baked into the platform, not bolted on later.

// Savings Plans · Spot · Right-Sizing · Karpenter

Cloud Security & Compliance

Continuous compliance against CIS benchmarks. GuardDuty threat detection, SecurityHub aggregation, and policy-as-code guardrails so security is enforced, not audited after the fact.

// GuardDuty · SecurityHub · CIS Benchmarks

// toolchain

Best-in-Class Cloud Stack

We select tools for operational maturity, cost transparency, and your team's long-term ownership — not vendor lock-in or conference buzz.

Seen in the Wild

Healthcare SaaS — $240K Annual Cloud Savings

A Series A healthcare SaaS was haemorrhaging $680K/year on AWS with no tagging, no cost allocation, and an 18-account sprawl that had grown organically over four years. HIPAA compliance was technically met but operationally fragile — manual evidence collection consumed two engineers every quarter.

In 12 weeks we delivered a full Terraform landing zone with AWS Control Tower, a FinOps programme with team-level chargeback, Karpenter-based compute consolidation, and GuardDuty + SecurityHub continuous compliance. Annual cloud spend dropped by 35% — $240K back to the business, permanently.
