The challenge

Where teams get stuck

The problems we're most often brought in to solve.

  1. 01

    Deployments depend on individuals

    Releases rely on a few people running manual steps, so they are infrequent, stressful and difficult to reverse when something fails.

  2. 02

    Cloud spend rises without ownership

    Idle and oversized resources accumulate, and nobody is accountable for aligning spend with actual usage.

  3. 03

    Environments cannot be reproduced

    Infrastructure was configured by hand in a console, so it cannot be rebuilt reliably or explained when environments differ.

  4. 04

    Customers detect incidents first

    Without monitoring and alerting, outages and slowdowns are reported by users before the operations team is aware.

Overview

Cloud & Platform Operations at VulcanTech

DevOps and cloud operations is the discipline of automating how software is released and how cloud platforms are run, so change is routine and services stay available. VulcanTech designs and operates these foundations: CI/CD pipelines make releases routine, infrastructure as code makes environments reproducible, and monitoring, alerting and rollback keep services available. We work across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, with cost visibility built into the design rather than added later.

Key deliverables

  • CI/CD pipelines with gated environment promotion
  • Terraform infrastructure as code
  • Monitoring, alerting and operational runbooks
  • Cloud cost and rightsizing review
  • Platform and environment documentation

What you get

What Cloud & Platform Operations includes

  • Governed CI/CD

    Automated build, test and deployment for every environment, with approval gates before production.

  • Infrastructure as code

    Terraform-defined networking, compute and data services that are versioned, peer-reviewed and reproducible.

  • Container platforms

    Docker images on Kubernetes or managed container services, sized to your operational maturity.

  • Observability

    Metrics, logs, alerts and runbooks that surface issues and guide response before users are affected.

  • Automated rollback

    Health checks that halt or reverse a failed release without manual intervention.

  • Cloud cost governance

    Spend analysis, tagging and rightsizing recommendations that tie cost to services and owners.

Our process

How we deliver

A delivery process you can see into — from first workshop to production support.

Book a free consultation
  1. 01

    Discovery

    A focused working session on your objectives, constraints and existing systems. It concludes with a scoped proposal and a clear view of value, risk and effort.

  2. 02

    Architecture & planning

    We agree the target architecture, data model and integration approach before product code is written, and secure your sign-off.

  3. 03

    Iterative delivery

    Working software reaches a staging environment on a regular cadence, giving stakeholders continuous visibility and the ability to steer priorities.

  4. 04

    Assurance & hardening

    Automated testing, accessibility and performance budgets, and a security review are completed before anything reaches production.

  5. 05

    Launch & continuity

    We manage cutover and remain engaged through an agreed support period, with a structured handover to your teams or ongoing operation by ours.

Engagement models

Work with us the way that suits you

Explore engagement models →

  • Outcome-based delivery

    A defined scope, timeline and commercial model agreed after discovery. We own delivery risk against the agreed outcomes.

    Best for: Well-defined initiatives, MVPs and first releases

  • Dedicated product teams

    A cross-functional pod — engineering, design, QA and delivery leadership — aligned to your roadmap and scaled as priorities change.

    Best for: Long-term product development and evolving roadmaps

  • Team extension

    Senior engineers embed in your organisation, work inside your processes and report to your leaders — on contracts that assign all IP to you.

    Best for: Adding specialist capability without growing headcount

Why VulcanTech

A partner, not a vendor

Senior engineering, honest delivery, and work we can name.

  • Senior engineers own delivery

    The engineers who scope your programme in discovery are the engineers who deliver it. There is no hand-off to a junior bench after contract signature.

  • Engagement models that fit

    Outcome-based delivery, dedicated product teams, team extension or global capability centres, matched to how your organisation prefers to work.

  • A verifiable track record

    Every customer story we publish describes real production work, naming the client wherever confidentiality allows, including public-sector platforms secured through competitive tenders.

  • 80+ projects in 16 countries

    Delivered since 2021 across the public sector, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing and consumer technology, for regulated and high-growth organisations alike.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you need? Ask us in the discovery session.

With the highest-risk manual step, typically production deployments or database migrations. Automating that first removes the most immediate exposure. We then extend automation to testing, environment provisioning and monitoring in stages, so the organisation sees early, visible improvement without pausing product delivery while a complete platform is established.
