Cloud & DevOps
Cloud deployment and DevOps for startup and business web apps
Cloud and DevOps work is everything that gets your application from the code repository to a live, secure and recoverable service: hosting, automated deployments, environments, domains, monitoring and backups. I set this up for startups and small to mid-sized businesses shipping web applications, using platforms such as Vercel, Firebase and AWS EC2 with Docker where it helps, and keep it as simple and affordable as the product allows.
Who this is for
- Your application runs on one developer's laptop or an old server and nobody else knows how to deploy it
- Releases are done by hand, break things occasionally and happen less often than they should
- You have no staging environment, so changes are tested on the live site
- You are not sure whether backups exist, or whether anyone has ever tried restoring one
- Your hosting bill has grown and nobody can explain which parts are actually needed
What's included
Hosting setup
The right platform for each part of the app: Vercel for Next.js frontends, Firebase for real-time apps, or an AWS EC2 server with Docker for backends that need more control.
CI/CD pipeline
Automated checks and deployments from GitHub, so every change is built and tested the same way and can be rolled back if needed.
Environments and secrets
Separate development, staging and production setups, with API keys and passwords stored in environment configuration rather than in code.
Domains, DNS and SSL
Domain and DNS configuration, HTTPS certificates, redirects and email records set up correctly, so the site and its emails are trusted.
Monitoring and alerts
Uptime checks, error tracking and logs, so failures are noticed and diagnosed quickly instead of reported by customers.
Backups and recovery
Automated database and file backups, plus a written and tested restore process.
Simple infrastructure that a small team can own
Most startups and business applications do not need Kubernetes clusters or a dedicated operations team. They need deployments that work every time, an environment to test in, alerts when something breaks and backups that restore. I start with managed platforms wherever they fit, because they remove servers you would otherwise have to patch, and move to containers or virtual servers only where the application genuinely needs them.
Everything is set up under your accounts and documented: where the app runs, how it is deployed, where the secrets live and what to do if something fails. Cost is part of the design. I review which services are running, right-size servers and databases, and set billing alerts so there are no surprises.
How the project runs
- ReviewLook at the current code, hosting, domains, data and costs, and list the risks, such as missing backups or secrets in the repository.
- PlanChoose platforms and environments for each part of the app, with estimated running costs, and agree on the migration order.
- Set upConfigure hosting, CI/CD, environments, secrets, domains and SSL, starting with staging.
- Migrate and launchMove data and traffic with a rollback plan, keeping downtime short and scheduled for a quiet period.
- Monitor and hand overSwitch on alerts and backups, test a restore, and document how your team deploys and recovers.
Technology choices
- VercelHosting for Next.js frontends with preview deployments for every change.
- FirebaseHosting, authentication and real-time data for apps that suit its model.
- AWS EC2 and DockerContainerised Node.js backends, workers and services that need a persistent server.
- GitHub ActionsAutomated tests, builds and deployments on every push or merge.

What affects cost and timeline
- The current state of the application and how it is deployed today
- Number of services, such as frontend, API, workers and databases, to host
- Data migration and acceptable downtime during the move
- Monitoring, logging and backup retention requirements
- Any compliance or data location requirements for your industry

Frequently asked questions
Do I need AWS, or is Vercel enough?
Many Next.js applications run well on Vercel alone, with a managed database. AWS becomes useful when you need long-running background jobs, custom servers or more control over networking. The choice depends on what the app does, not on what sounds more serious.
Do you manage large enterprise infrastructure?
No. My focus is web applications for startups and small to mid-sized businesses. If you need multi-region failover, dedicated compliance programmes or a large on-call operation, a specialist DevOps team is the better fit.
Can you reduce our hosting costs?
Often, yes. Unused services, oversized servers and missing caching are common causes of high bills. A review shows where the money goes before anything is changed.
Will we be locked into you?
No. Accounts are in your name, deployment steps are automated and documented, and another developer can take over using the same setup.
Can you move our app without downtime?
Downtime can usually be kept very short by preparing the new environment in advance, lowering DNS caching times and switching during a quiet period. Some database moves need a brief maintenance window, which is planned with you.
