Cloud and DevOps

Cloud infrastructure from assessment to ongoing operations.

Orathon designs, automates, monitors, and manages AWS infrastructure for growing software companies, without the overhead of building a full internal platform team.

Cloud and DevOps services

Infrastructure audit

A structured review of architecture, security, delivery workflows, resilience, monitoring, costs, documentation, and operational risks.

Problems addressed

  • Unclear infrastructure risks
  • Architecture that has evolved without a plan
  • No prioritised improvement roadmap

Typical work

  • Architecture and account review
  • Delivery, security, resilience, and cost assessment
  • Stakeholder discovery and documentation review

Potential outcomes

  • Current-state summary
  • Prioritised findings and key risks
  • Recommended target architecture where appropriate
  • Phased implementation roadmap

AWS cloud infrastructure

Design, setup, migration, and improvement of AWS environments with attention to access, availability, recovery, security, and cost.

Problems addressed

  • A launch needs a reliable production foundation
  • Existing AWS architecture is difficult to operate
  • Scaling, access, or recovery needs improvement

Typical work

  • Architecture design and environment setup
  • Networking, access controls, compute, databases, and storage
  • Migration, scaling, backup, recovery, and cost optimisation

Potential outcomes

  • Maintainable AWS architecture
  • Repeatable environment setup
  • Improved resilience and operational clarity

DevOps and delivery automation

Delivery pipelines, container platforms, infrastructure as code, and workflows that move software safely from commit to production.

Problems addressed

  • Deployments are slow or risky
  • Environments behave differently
  • Developers carry too much manual operational work

Typical work

  • CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
  • Docker and Kubernetes implementation
  • Terraform, GitOps, Argo CD, configuration, and secrets management

Potential outcomes

  • Repeatable deployments
  • Consistent environments
  • Clearer change history and operational ownership

Monitoring and managed operations

Metrics, logging, and alerting, combined with agreed ongoing support for AWS and Kubernetes operations, maintenance, and improvement.

Problems addressed

  • Failures are discovered by customers
  • No dedicated infrastructure owner
  • Operational knowledge and documentation are scattered

Typical work

  • Metrics, dashboards, centralised logging, and alerting
  • AWS and Kubernetes management, upgrades, and troubleshooting
  • Security, performance, cost, backup, and documentation reviews

Potential outcomes

  • Actionable alerts and useful dashboards
  • Defined operational ownership
  • A prioritised stream of continuous improvements

Exact coverage is agreed per engagement. Response expectations, support hours, and escalation paths are defined in the selected agreement.

Technology

The stack we work in.

We use established cloud-native tools and workflows, selecting the level of complexity that fits each client’s requirements. Technology supports the outcome; it is never the outcome by itself.
