We build your AWS platform, or take on the one you have. Then we operate it.

AWS runs your business. Running AWS shouldn't run your team.

  • Your developers do platform work

    Application engineers patch, scale and firefight AWS instead of shipping product.

  • Nobody has tested a restore

    Backups run every night. Nobody has proved the platform can actually recover.

  • The AWS bill keeps climbing

    Spend grows faster than usage, and paying in dollars makes every increase hurt more.

  • One person understands the setup

    The platform's knowledge lives with one engineer, and so does the risk.

One conversation. One agreed boundary. Then we operate it.

  1. Talk to an engineer

    A Cloud Platform Engineer learns how your AWS platform runs today, what you need and where the gaps are.

  2. Agree the responsibility boundary

    We agree what we take responsibility for and what stays with your team, before any work starts.

  3. We build or take on, then operate

    We build what's missing or take on the platform you have, then operate the agreed scope.

You keep ownership of your business and applications. We take responsibility for the AWS platform scope we agree.

Talk to a Cloud Platform Engineer.

Tell us where your AWS platform stands and what you need. A Cloud Platform Engineer will reply to arrange a short call.

Who you'll speak to.

Donovan reads every enquiry from this page and will make sure the right Cloud Platform Engineer joins your first call.

No-obligation first call. We reply within one business day to arrange it.

What happens when you get in touch.

  1. We reply

    A Cloud Platform Engineer replies within one business day.

  2. A short call

    A 30-minute call about your platform, what you need and where it runs. No obligation.

  3. Discovery

    We review your platform, or your plans for a new one, so the proposal fits what you actually run. Discovery is free if you go ahead with Managed Platform. If you don't, it is charged at a fee we agree with you in writing before it starts.

  4. A written proposal

    Scope, responsibility boundary, service level and fee, in writing.

Engineered in South Africa.

  • Where your data lives

    We run your platform in the AWS Region that suits your workload and customers, including AWS Africa (Cape Town) when your data needs to stay in South Africa.

  • Data protection

    We map platform controls to POPIA, and to GDPR or other data-protection laws in the countries where you operate, and give you the evidence your privacy and audit teams ask for.

  • Who you talk to

    Our Cloud Platform Engineers are based in Cape Town and Johannesburg and work on South African time (SAST). Support hours and response times are agreed with you in your service agreement.

Questions before you get in touch.

We already have an engineering team. Is this for us?

Yes. You keep ownership of your business and applications. We take responsibility for the AWS platform scope we agree, so your team can focus on the applications.

Who owns our AWS account?

You keep ownership and administrative control of your AWS Organisation, accounts and data. How AWS usage is billed is agreed separately.

What if we decide to move on?

We hand over documentation, access and runbooks for the platform scope we operated, with 60 days' notice.

Tell us about the AWS platform you have, or the one you need.
