Infrastructure That Ships As Fast As Your Team Does.
3Shadz Cloud & DevOps brings cloud strategy, migration, delivery automation, and day-two operations under one accountable team, so releases go out safely, environments stay observed, and nothing depends on one person being awake at 2 a.m.
The Operational Backbone Behind Every 3Shadz Engagement
Cloud & DevOps is one of the seven service domains behind every 3Shadz engagement: the infrastructure, automation, and operations discipline that decides whether the software we build stays fast, available, and affordable to run.
It brings together four connected capabilities: Cloud Consulting to choose the right architecture and platform, Cloud Migration to move workloads without disrupting the business, DevOps & Automation to make releases routine instead of risky, and Managed Cloud Services to keep environments monitored and optimized long after go-live.
These four rarely run in isolation. A consulting engagement usually leads into a migration, a migration is only complete once delivery is automated, and automation keeps paying off only with ongoing management as usage grows.
Four Capabilities. One Cloud & DevOps Practice.
Each capability stands on its own, and each hands cleanly to the next, from choosing the right cloud, to moving into it, to automating how you ship, to running it well every day after.
Cloud Consulting
We assess your applications, data, and growth plans before recommending a platform (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or a deliberate multi-cloud mix), then design the account structure, network, and security foundations everything else gets built on.
- Cloud readiness & workload assessment
- Platform selection & landing zone design
- Cost modelling & TCO comparison
- Cloud security & governance baseline
Cloud Migration
We plan and execute migrations in phases you can control (rehosting what should move as-is, replatforming what benefits from managed services, and re-architecting only where it earns its cost), so the business keeps running while the infrastructure changes underneath it.
- Migration strategy & workload sequencing
- Rehost, replatform & re-architecture execution
- Data migration with validated cutover plans
- Rollback planning for every migration phase
DevOps & Automation
We build CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code that turn deployments into a repeatable, tested process instead of a stressful event, so your team can ship on a regular cadence with a rollback plan that actually works if something goes wrong.
- CI/CD pipeline design & implementation
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep)
- Containerization & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Release, rollback & environment automation
Managed Cloud Services
We monitor, patch, secure, and tune your cloud environment on an ongoing basis, catching cost creep and performance drift before they become incidents, so production stays healthy without pulling your product team into infrastructure work.
- 24/7 monitoring & alerting
- Patch management & security hardening
- Cost optimization & rightsizing
- Incident response with defined SLAs
Built Around the Numbers That Actually Matter in Production
Cloud and DevOps work is judged by what happens after launch. These are the operating targets we design toward on every engagement.
Uptime Target
The reliability bar we architect managed environments toward, backed by monitoring and redundancy, not a promise made without the engineering behind it.
Mean Time to Recovery
Target response window for monitored incidents once alerting and runbooks are in place, so a problem gets contained before it becomes an outage.
Deployment Cadence
A realistic cadence once CI/CD is in place: up from the weekly or ad-hoc releases most teams start with, without cutting corners on testing.
Typical Cost Reduction
A common outcome of a rightsizing and automation pass on cloud environments that grew faster than anyone was watching the bill.
From Architecture Decision to a System That Runs Itself
The same runbook carries every engagement, whether it starts with a consulting conversation or a single pipeline.
Assess & Design
Understand current infrastructure, cost, and constraints before recommending a target architecture.
Migrate & Automate
Move workloads and build the CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code layer around them.
Harden & Observe
Put monitoring, alerting, and security controls in place before calling anything production-ready.
Operate & Optimize
Manage the environment on an ongoing basis, tuning cost and performance as usage changes.
Infrastructure Decisions Made With the Whole System in Mind
Cloud and DevOps work is easy to get partially right. Here’s what we hold onto so it stays right after we leave.
One Team, Full-Stack Ownership
The team that designs the cloud architecture also builds the pipelines and carries the pager, so nothing gets lost in a handover between consulting, delivery, and operations.
Cloud-Agnostic by Default
We recommend the platform that fits your workload, not the one we’re paid to resell.
Security Built In, Not Bolted On
Access controls, secrets management, and compliance requirements are part of the design from day one.
Automation Over Heroics
If a deployment needs one specific person awake to succeed, we treat that as a bug, not a fact of life.
Cost Visibility From Day One
You see what infrastructure costs before it surprises you in a monthly bill.
Transparent, NDA-Friendly Engagements
Confidential by default, with clear scope and no lock-in dressed up as convenience.
Platform and Tool Agnostic, By Design
We choose the cloud, IaC, and tooling that fit your constraints and existing investments, not the vendor relationship that’s easiest for us.
Cloud Platforms
Infrastructure as Code
Containers & Orchestration
CI/CD & Observability
Cloud & DevOps: Frequently Asked Questions
Cloud & Data Solutions, under Solutions, is the outcome-focused program, what moving to and running on the cloud can do for your business. Cloud & DevOps, under Services, is the specific discipline behind it: Cloud Consulting, Cloud Migration, DevOps & Automation, and Managed Cloud Services.
No. Many engagements start with just one (a consulting assessment, a single migration, a CI/CD pipeline, or ongoing management of an environment someone else built) and expand from there as needed.
We are platform-agnostic and regularly work across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, including multi-cloud and hybrid setups where that genuinely fits the workload.
Yes. We assess what’s already in place (CI/CD tooling, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring) and build on it wherever it’s sound, rather than replacing working tools for their own sake.
Security and compliance requirements are captured before migration planning starts, not after. Access controls, encryption, and audit logging are part of the target architecture, and every engagement can run under NDA.
A cloud consulting assessment usually takes two to four weeks. Migrations range from a few weeks for a single application to several months for a full estate, phased to avoid business disruption. DevOps automation and managed services are typically ongoing engagements.
Let’s Build Infrastructure That Doesn’t Hold You Back.
Whether you need a cloud strategy, a phased migration, a CI/CD pipeline that actually gets used, or a team watching production while you sleep, our Cloud & DevOps practice can help.
