Cloud Parallax
Platform engineering · AWS & Google Cloud

Your platform team,before you needto hire one.

We design, build, and operate production infrastructure for growing software companies. The same senior engineers who build your platform stay to run it.

The problem

Your developers should be building your product, not becoming your infrastructure team.

Cloud usually starts simple. Then customers grow, traffic increases, enterprise requirements appear and the bills climb. Deployments get riskier. Monitoring gets noisier.

Someone on the engineering team slowly becomes the unofficial DevOps person. Eventually, infrastructure starts stealing time from the product.

You could hire an entire platform team. Or you can use ours.

01 — Build

Production infrastructure without unnecessary complexity

We assess what you have, identify what should change, and build a production platform around what your business actually needs.

  • AWS and Google Cloud architecture
  • Kubernetes, serverless and event-driven systems
  • Infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability
  • Cloud migrations and modernisation

02 — Operate

The engineers who built it stay responsible for it

Once the platform is live we don't hand it to another team. Your Cloud Parallax engineers remain responsible for reliability, incidents, monitoring, security updates, capacity and cloud spend.

  • 24/7 production incident response
  • Named senior engineers, not a ticket queue
  • Monitoring, SLOs and capacity planning
  • FinOps and cloud cost optimisation

03 — Scale

Build your internal capability when the time is right

Eventually, hiring your own platform engineers may make sense. We help you get there, moving from operating your platform to advising the people who do.

  • Platform engineering hiring and technical interviews
  • Architecture reviews and engineering mentorship
  • Executive and board-level technical guidance
  • Escalation support for difficult production incidents

Why teams stay with us

See the full platform
  • 01

    Same engineers, no handoff

    The people who architect your infrastructure stay responsible for it in production.

  • 02

    Senior engineers, not volume

    Experienced cloud engineers who make architecture decisions, not a revolving bench.

  • 03

    AWS and Google Cloud

    We recommend architecture based on the problem rather than forcing one vendor.

  • 04

    Cost is an engineering metric

    Cloud spend sits alongside reliability and performance, not reviewed once the bill hurts.

Client-rated partnership

Cloud Parallax has scaled seamlessly with our growth. Every incident, every upgrade, the same engineers who built it are still running it. A perfect 10/10.

Same engineering team, three years later

We still operate the infrastructure we originally built, as the business has scaled.

Cloud savings that paid for the engagement

What started as a FinOps requirement became a longer-term infrastructure relationship.

Your product has traction

Customers depend on it, and infrastructure mistakes now have consequences.

Developers stuck on infrastructure

Your best product engineers are debugging IAM, CI/CD and cloud bills instead of shipping.

Enterprise customers are coming

Security questionnaires, SOC 2 and availability expectations are entering your sales cycle.

Talk to us

We're a poor fit for one-off builds with no operational follow-on, lowest-rate RFPs, and engagements where scope is expected to grow without a budget conversation.

Engagement model

Start with the problem, not a package

You don't need to know whether you need Kubernetes, serverless, a migration or an SRE function before talking to us. Start with what isn't working. We'll look at:

  • Your product and customers
  • Current architecture
  • Engineering workflow
  • Reliability risks
  • Security and compliance requirements
  • Cloud spend
  • Expected growth
  • Internal engineering capability

Then we'll tell you what we'd change, and what we'd leave alone.
