A cloud bill nobody can account for
Resources provisioned for a launch three years ago and never turned off. An audit against real usage usually pays for itself immediately.
Cloud Infrastructure
Infrastructure should be as small as the problem allows. A company serving a few thousand people a day does not need a Kubernetes cluster, and being sold one is how a hosting bill turns into a line item nobody can justify.
We run most things on managed platforms, Vercel and Neon and object storage, because the operational load is close to zero and the failure modes are somebody else's job. When a workload genuinely needs its own servers we run those too, with the configuration in version control rather than in someone's memory.
Backups get restored on a schedule, not just taken. Monitoring alerts a person rather than a dashboard nobody opens. Both are boring and both are the reason an outage is twenty minutes instead of a day.
// what you get
What's included.
- Hosting architecture matched to real traffic, with the cost written down per environment
- Managed platform setup: Vercel, Neon Postgres, object storage, CDN
- Infrastructure as code, so an environment can be rebuilt rather than remembered
- Automated backups with rehearsed restores, and point-in-time recovery where it matters
- Uptime monitoring, error tracking, and alerts that reach a person
- SSL, DNS, domains, and the environment separation that keeps staging out of production
// where it fits
The situations this is usually bought for.
One server and no plan
A single machine hand-configured by someone who has left. Rebuilding it from code turns a standing risk into a routine deploy.
A site that falls over when it gets attention
A press mention or a campaign is a bad time to find the ceiling. Caching and a CDN handle most of it cheaply.

ShellyGPT
A team AI workspace we built and run: Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open models in one chat, with shared skills, documents, and guardrails. One bill instead of six.
Marketplace appaltura-talent.com
Altura
A map-based marketplace where creators and small businesses show their work, sell, and get booked by people nearby. Built as an installable web app, so there is no app store between someone hearing about it and using it.
Early access. Accounts and the feed run on live data; the public launch hasn't happened yet.
