Cloud and infrastructure modernisation

For teams whose hosting bill keeps climbing, whose deploys are manual, and whose servers nobody wants to touch. We move what runs onto infrastructure that costs less to keep alive, and we stay to run it.

What this covers

Cloud and infrastructure modernisation, end to end.

Infrastructure and cost review

We look at what you are actually running and what each part costs. Idle instances, oversized databases, storage nobody reads, duplicate environments. You get a written list of what to change, in order of what it saves.

Migration to managed services

Self-managed databases, queues and search move onto managed equivalents where the sums work. Less patching, fewer 3am pages, a bill you can read. Where they do not work, we say so and leave it alone.

Containers and orchestration

Applications packaged so they run the same on a laptop, in staging and in production. We pick the smallest thing that does the job, not the most fashionable one, and document why we chose it.

Infrastructure as code

Servers, networks and permissions defined in version-controlled files rather than settings clicked in a console two years ago. Environments can be rebuilt from scratch, and changes get reviewed like any other code.

CI/CD and release pipelines

Builds, tests and deployments automated end to end, with a rollback that works. Releasing stops being an event someone schedules for a Friday and becomes something any engineer can do safely.

Monitoring, alerts and backups

Metrics, logs and traces in one place, alerts that fire on things worth waking up for, and backups that have been restored at least once. Uptime you can prove rather than assume.

How it runs

Plan. Build. Run.

01

30 minute call

You tell us what runs where, what hurts, and what your bill looks like. We tell you whether this is a job worth doing and what the honest constraints are. No deck, no discovery invoice.

02

Assessment and fixed scope

We audit the current setup, map dependencies and find the waste. You get a target architecture, a migration order, a timeline and a fixed price. If the savings do not justify the work, we tell you that instead.

03

Migration in stages

We move things in order of risk, lowest first, with the old setup still standing until the new one is proven. Each stage has a rollback. You keep serving customers throughout and we work to an agreed cutover window.

04

Handover and running

Runbooks, diagrams and access handed over so your team can operate it. Then, if you want it, we take the pager on a monthly retainer: monitoring, patching, fixes to response targets and a monthly report.

Why infoloop

We do not hand over and leave.

  • We run what we buildThe managed retainer means we live with our own decisions. Anyone who has to answer the alert at 2am builds differently from someone who invoices and leaves.
  • Smallest thing that worksWe do not put a Kubernetes cluster under a site that gets four hundred visitors a day. The right architecture is the cheapest one that meets your actual load and your team's ability to run it.
  • Nothing moves without a rollbackEvery migration stage keeps the old path alive until the new one is proven under real traffic. If something misbehaves at cutover, we go back rather than debug in front of your customers.
  • You keep the keysAccounts, domains, repositories and infrastructure code stay in your name. No proprietary wrapper, no lock-in to us. You can take it elsewhere whenever you like.
  • Fixed scope and fixed priceYou know the cost and the date before work starts. Change requests are priced separately and openly, so the number at the end is the number you agreed at the start.

What you get

Every engagement includes these, in writing, before work starts.

  • A written audit of current infrastructure with every running resource and what it costs
  • A target architecture diagram and a staged migration plan in risk order
  • Infrastructure defined as code in your repository, so environments can be rebuilt
  • Automated build, test and deploy pipelines with a tested rollback path
  • Monitoring, logging and alerting configured, with backups restored at least once
  • Runbooks and handover documentation written for your engineers, not for us

Who this is for

Three situations where this is the right call.

The bill grew and nobody knows why

Your monthly cloud spend has climbed for four quarters straight and no one can say which service is responsible. You need someone to open the account, itemise it, and cut the parts that are not earning their place.

One person knows how to deploy

Releases go out by hand, from one laptop, by one engineer who cannot take a holiday. You need the process written down, automated and made boring enough that anyone on the team can run it.

Servers nobody wants to touch

Something important runs on a machine set up years ago by someone who has left. It works, the operating system is out of support, and every change feels like a gamble. You need it moved, safely, without a rewrite.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

What does a cloud modernisation project cost?
We price on fixed scope rather than by the hour. The shape is always the same: a 30 minute call, then a paid assessment of what you run today, and from that a fixed price and timeline for the migration. The assessment matters because infrastructure costs depend entirely on what is already there, and quoting before looking would be guessing. Running it afterwards is a separate monthly retainer covering monitoring, patching, fixes to agreed response targets and a monthly report. You know the number before work starts, and any change to scope is priced openly.
Will our service go down during the migration?
The plan is built to avoid it. We migrate in stages, lowest risk first, and the existing setup stays running until the new one has been proven under real traffic. Each stage has a defined rollback, so if something behaves badly we return to the old path rather than debug live. Where a genuine cutover window is unavoidable, usually a database switch, we agree the time with you in advance, pick your quietest hours and rehearse it beforehand. We will tell you at planning stage which steps carry a downtime risk rather than promising zero and discovering otherwise on the night.
How much will this actually save us?
We will not put a percentage on it before seeing your account, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Savings come from specific, findable things: instances running at a fraction of their capacity, databases provisioned for a load that never arrived, storage tiers never reviewed, environments spun up for a project that ended, and licences a managed service would now cover. The assessment itemises each one with what it costs you today, so you can see the arithmetic and decide whether the migration is worth doing. Sometimes the answer is that your setup is already sensible. We will say so.
Do we have to move to a different cloud provider?
Usually not, and we would not suggest it without a strong reason. Most waste sits inside how a provider is used rather than in the choice of provider, and a cross-provider move adds risk that rarely pays for itself. Modernisation more often means right-sizing what you run, moving self-managed components onto managed equivalents, defining the setup as code and automating deployment, all inside the account you already have. If there is a real case for moving, such as a pricing model that no longer fits your workload, we lay out the cost against the benefit and you decide.
Can you work with our existing engineering team?
Yes, and that is the usual arrangement. Your engineers know the application and the business logic in a way no outside team will acquire in a few weeks, so we work alongside them rather than around them. In practice we handle the infrastructure work and the automation, review changes together, and write the infrastructure code in your repository so your team can read it and change it. Handover includes runbooks and diagrams written for people who were not in the room. If your team would rather keep operating it themselves afterwards, everything is set up for that. If they would rather not, the retainer is there.
What happens after the migration is finished?
You have a choice, and neither option leaves you stranded. Everything is handed over in your name, with documentation, so your team can run it without us. If you would rather we kept it running, the managed retainer covers monitoring and alerting, patching and security updates, fixes within agreed response targets, ongoing improvements and a monthly report. That is the half of the business we are named for: we build, then we run. Infrastructure drifts as soon as nobody is watching it, costs creep back and patches fall behind, so the running is not an upsell tacked on at the end.
