Premature Kubernetes Adoption
Running K8s for 3 microservices? ECS or containerised EC2 might cut your ops burden by 70% with zero downtime risk.
Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Consulting
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
Production-ready AWS environments built with Terraform. Cloud networking, compute, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and security — delivered with full documentation and operational runbooks.
Rapid-response Kubernetes and AWS troubleshooting. We diagnose root causes, restore stability, and hand you a remediation report — not a mystery.
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.
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
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.

How it works
We learn about your stack, your pain points, and your goals. No sales pitch — just a technical conversation.
We map your current environment, identify risks and waste, and propose a clear path forward.
We deploy, optimise, or fix — then hand you documented, reproducible infrastructure you actually own.
Full documentation, runbooks, and optional ongoing support. Your team takes the wheel with confidence.
From the field
Running K8s for 3 microservices? ECS or containerised EC2 might cut your ops burden by 70% with zero downtime risk.
We routinely find clusters running at <20% utilisation. Right-sizing alone typically saves 30–50% on compute costs.
Without Prometheus, Grafana, and proper alerting, you're flying blind. We deploy monitoring as a standard part of every engagement.
