Environments & Infrastructure as Code
We work closely with our clients and platform team to define clear dev, stage and prod environments as code. We start from modelling the stack and access, finishing with secure secrets and repeatable provisioning that lasts.
What's included
- Infrastructure-as-code modules in Terraform (AWS, GCP, Azure, or self-hosted) or Kubernetes manifests
- Consistent environment definitions for dev, staging, and production — same topology, different scales
- Secrets management integration (HashiCorp Vault, AWS SSM, GCP Secret Manager, or equivalent)
- Least-privilege IAM roles and access controls per environment
- Environment parity audit: a written report identifying differences between your current envs
- PR-level ephemeral environment spin-up (optional, where supported by your cloud provider)
- Documented provisioning and teardown runbooks
- Handoff walkthrough session with your platform or engineering team
Who it's for
Teams who are clicking through cloud consoles to create environments, who have environments that drift apart over time, or where "it works on staging but not production" is a recurring phrase. Also for teams where setting up a local environment for a new developer takes more than a day.
How we work
- Understand — review your current setup: cloud provider, hosting model, access patterns, and environment count
- Define Done — agree exactly which environments will be codified, what the module boundaries are, and the acceptance criteria in writing
- Implement — write and validate IaC modules iteratively, with your team reviewing each piece before it lands
- Handoff — walkthrough session, full documentation, all access removed at project close
Typical timeline
3–5 weeks depending on the number of environments, cloud providers involved, and how much existing infrastructure needs to be imported. Fixed scope, fixed quote upfront. If requirements change, scope is renegotiated before work continues.
What we've seen fixed
After this engagement, teams can provision a new environment in minutes rather than days. Environment drift becomes detectable and fixable in CI. New engineers can spin up a working local environment by running a single command.
