Account and network layout
Separate accounts or projects per environment, private networking by default, and a documented rule for what may reach what.
CLOUD AND DEVOPS
Environments that behave the same every time
Cloud accounts, infrastructure as code and a pipeline that puts the same build through the same gates on every release.

What this is
Infrastructure written down, not remembered
Every account, network, environment and permission exists as code in your repository, so a change is a reviewed commit rather than a console click somebody forgot to mention. The pipeline builds once, runs the tests, promotes the same artefact through staging into production, and keeps a rollback that has been exercised. Release day stops depending on who is awake.
This is for you if
- A deploy works on one environment and fails on the next, and nobody can say what differs between them.
- Only one person can release, and the steps live in their head or in a private note.
- You have no rehearsed way back when a release goes wrong, so bad changes stay live while people debate.
This is not the right fit if you run one static site with no backend, no database and no scheduled work. Static hosting with a build on push already gives you most of this, and paying for a platform layer around it buys nothing.
Scope
What we build
Infrastructure as code baseline
The whole environment defined in code with state stored remotely, so anyone can review a change before it lands.
CI pipeline with gates
Build, typecheck, tests and checks run on every branch, and a merge is blocked until they pass.
Staging that mirrors production
The same definitions, the same versions and comparable data shape, so a passing staging run means something.
Deploy and rollback procedure
One command to release and one to return to the previous version, both written down and both rehearsed with your team.
Cost visibility
Tagging and a spend view by environment and service, so an unexpected bill has a cause you can point at.
How it goes
From manual releases to a repeatable path
- 01
Environment audit
One week
We inventory what exists, how a change reaches production today, and where the differences between environments hide.
- 02
Baseline in code
Two to four weeks
Accounts, networking and core services expressed as code, applied to a fresh environment to prove the definitions are complete.
- 03
Pipeline and parity
Two to three weeks
Build and test gates, promotion between environments, secrets handling, and staging brought in line with production.
- 04
Rollback rehearsal and handover
One week
We break a release on purpose, roll it back with your team watching, then hand over runbooks and access.
Artefacts
What you receive
Written record
Environment and network diagram
Release and rollback runbook

Everything lives in accounts you own. We never hold sole access to your cloud account or repository.
