Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Consulting

Your infrastructure should
accelerate your product,
not slow it down.

We help engineering teams design, deploy, and optimise production-ready AWS environments — so your engineers can stop firefighting infrastructure and get back to building what matters.

Founded by former AWS engineers with deep expertise across cloud architecture, Kubernetes, DevOps, cost optimisation, and infrastructure automation.

Sound familiar?

Your AWS bill is climbing, deployments keep breaking, and the team that was hired to build products is stuck keeping the lights on. Sound about right?

Constant Firefighting

Pod failures, networking issues, deployment rollbacks, CI/CD breakages — your engineers are stuck in reactive mode, troubleshooting infrastructure problems they weren't hired to solve.

Runaway Cloud Costs

Over-provisioned clusters, idle resources, redundant services, and no visibility into what's actually driving the bill. Costs keep climbing with no clear path to optimisation.

Complexity Without the Payoff

Service meshes, multi-cluster architectures, and tooling sprawl that made sense on paper but now creates more operational burden than business value. The platform outgrew the team maintaining it.

Knowledge Gaps

Engineers managing Kubernetes clusters with little to no hands-on experience — learning on the fly during production incidents, piecing together solutions from docs and forums under pressure.

What we do

Three services. One infrastructure lifecycle.

01

Infrastructure Deployment

Production-ready AWS environments built with Terraform. Cloud networking, compute, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and security — delivered with full documentation and operational runbooks.

  • Architecture design session
  • Terraform IaC repository
  • Monitoring & alerting stack
  • Operational runbook

02

Troubleshooting & Support

Rapid-response Kubernetes and AWS troubleshooting. We diagnose root causes, restore stability, and hand you a remediation report — not a mystery.

  • Structured diagnostic workflow
  • Root cause analysis report
  • Remediation steps
  • Hourly or sprint-based pricing

03

Architecture Efficiency Audit

A deep-dive into your AWS environment to find cost savings, simplify architecture, and eliminate operational risk. Comes with a money-back guarantee on your first audit.

  • Utilisation & cost analysis
  • Complexity assessment
  • Optimisation roadmap
  • Full refund if no savings found

Our Architecture Efficiency Audit comes with a money-back guarantee on your first engagement — if we can't identify cost savings, you get a full refund. See details →

Why CloudForge

Built by engineers who
lived inside AWS.

CloudForge was founded by two former cloud engineers at Amazon Web Services. We've seen the patterns — the over-engineering, the runaway costs, the Kubernetes clusters that nobody on the team fully understands.

We built CloudForge to give startups and small teams the same calibre of infrastructure guidance that enterprise companies get — without the enterprise price tag or the unnecessary complexity.

Results

What our clients walk away with.

62%
reduction in monthly AWS spend

Series A SaaS startup — over-provisioned EKS cluster right-sized in a 2-week audit engagement.

<1 hr
to resolve production outage

E-commerce platform — intermittent DNS failures traced to an insufficient number of CoreDNS pods to support the high volume of DNS queries. Scaled the deployment and configured NodeLocal DNS Cache to eliminate recurring resolution timeouts.

10 days
from zero to production-ready

Pre-seed startup — full AWS environment with ECS, CI/CD, monitoring, and IaC delivered in under two weeks.

"We were spending $14k/month on AWS and had no idea where it was going. CloudForge found $8k in waste in the first week — mostly idle resources and an over-provisioned node group nobody knew about. The audit paid for itself 5x over."

How it works

From discovery call to production-ready in weeks, not months.

1

Discovery Call

We learn about your stack, your pain points, and your goals. No sales pitch — just a technical conversation.

2

Architecture Review

We map your current environment, identify risks and waste, and propose a clear path forward.

3

Build & Deliver

We deploy, optimise, or fix — then hand you documented, reproducible infrastructure you actually own.

4

Handoff & Support

Full documentation, runbooks, and optional ongoing support. Your team takes the wheel with confidence.

From the field

Common patterns we see (and fix) every week.

Anti-Pattern

Premature Kubernetes Adoption

Running K8s for 3 microservices? ECS or containerised EC2 might cut your ops burden by 70% with zero downtime risk.

Anti-Pattern

Over-Provisioned Compute

We routinely find clusters running at <20% utilisation. Right-sizing alone typically saves 30–50% on compute costs.

Anti-Pattern

No Observability Stack

Without Prometheus, Grafana, and proper alerting, you're flying blind. We deploy monitoring as a standard part of every engagement.
