Cloud Computing Solutions .
iSkylar designs, migrates, and manages cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and Azure, from initial architecture and cost-optimised setups to full cloud migrations and ongoing managed services. We treat infrastructure as code, automate everything that can be automated, and build environments that your engineering team can operate without us indefinitely.
What We Build
Cloud Architecture & Strategy
We design cloud architectures tailored to your workload — multi-region, multi-AZ, serverless, containerised, or hybrid — with a documented decision record covering cost, performance, and resilience trade-offs.
Cloud Migration
We migrate applications, databases, and infrastructure from on-premise or legacy hosting to AWS, GCP, or Azure — with zero-downtime cutover strategies, rollback plans, and post-migration performance validation.
Managed Cloud Services
Ongoing management of your cloud environment — cost optimisation reviews, security hardening, patch management, auto-scaling configuration, and 24/7 incident response. You focus on your product; we keep the infrastructure running.
DevOps & CI/CD Pipeline Setup
We build the pipelines, containerisation strategy, and deployment automation your engineering team needs to ship reliably — GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and everything in between.
Cloud Cost Optimisation
We audit your existing cloud spend, identify waste (oversized instances, idle resources, unoptimised storage), and implement rightsizing, reserved instance strategies, and tagging governance — typically reducing bills by 25–45%.
Cloud Security & Compliance
IAM policy audits, VPC design, secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, SOC 2 readiness, and GDPR-compliant data residency configuration across your cloud accounts.
Delivered faster with AI tooling
We don't just write code; we orchestrate intelligence. By integrating Copilot-assisted generation and AI-driven automated testing, we reduce time-to-market by up to 40%.
LLM-backed development to eliminate boilerplate delays.
Anticipating edge cases before they enter production.
The iSkylar Tech Stack
Our Development Journey
A streamlined, transparent path from vision to launch.
Discovery & Cloud Assessment
1–2 weeks
We audit your current infrastructure or application architecture, map workloads to cloud services, produce a migration or build plan, and estimate cost with a target monthly spend range.
Architecture Design
1–2 weeks
Infrastructure-as-code design using Terraform, network topology, IAM structure, and CI/CD pipeline architecture — documented and reviewed before any provisioning begins.
Build or Migration
3–10 weeks
Environment provisioned in staging first, tested, then production. For migrations, we run parallel environments and cut over with zero downtime. Full monitoring and alerting live before cutover.
Security & Compliance Hardening
1–2 weeks
IAM least-privilege review, security group audit, secrets moved to Vault or AWS Secrets Manager, encryption verified, and a security posture report delivered.
Go-Live & Handover
3–5 days
Production environment live, runbook documentation delivered, on-call escalation process confirmed, and your engineering team trained on the infrastructure they will own.
Managed Services (Ongoing)
Ongoing
Monthly cost reviews, incident response, patch management, scaling adjustments, and quarterly architecture reviews — with SLA-backed response times for critical incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cloud provider do you recommend — AWS, GCP, or Azure?+
It depends on your workload, team familiarity, and specific service requirements. AWS is our default for most web and SaaS workloads given its breadth. GCP is our preference for data-intensive and ML workloads. Azure is typically right for organisations already in the Microsoft ecosystem. We document the recommendation with rationale after understanding your situation.
Can you migrate our existing on-premise application to the cloud?+
Yes. We run migrations using a lift-and-shift approach first to reduce risk, then optimise for cloud-native architecture iteratively. We use parallel environment strategies with zero-downtime cutovers on all production migrations.
How do you manage cloud costs?+
We right-size instances, implement auto-scaling, convert on-demand resources to reserved or spot where appropriate, enforce resource tagging for accountability, and run monthly cost review calls. Clients typically see 25–45% cost reduction within 90 days of engagement.
What does cloud infrastructure development cost?+
Audits start from $3,500. Full build or migration engagements from $15,000. Managed retainers are priced based on environment complexity and SLA requirements. Fixed-scope quote after discovery.
Do you provide 24/7 support for cloud infrastructure?+
Yes, on managed retainer engagements. We define SLAs at contract stage — typically 15-minute response for P1 incidents, 1-hour for P2, next-business-day for P3. We use PagerDuty or your on-call tool of choice for alerting.
What is infrastructure-as-code and why does it matter?+
Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) means your cloud environment is defined in version-controlled files (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation) rather than manual console clicks. It means your infrastructure is reproducible, auditable, and deployable in minutes — and your team is never locked into someone else's tribal knowledge.
Who owns the infrastructure and code after the engagement?+
You own everything — all Terraform modules, pipeline configurations, documentation, and cloud account credentials. We never hold infrastructure hostage, and we design every engagement for your team to operate independently if they choose to.
Do you handle compliance requirements like SOC 2 or GDPR?+
Yes. We implement the infrastructure controls required for SOC 2 Type II readiness (logging, access control, encryption, incident response procedures) and GDPR-compliant data residency and access logging. We work alongside your compliance team or auditor.
