Ship Faster, Sleep Better — Cloud & DevOps That Actually Works
Your infrastructure should be an accelerator, not a bottleneck. It should deploy your code reliably, scale with your users, alert you before problems become outages, and cost exactly what it should — not a dollar more. At Desisle, we set up, migrate, and manage cloud environments on AWS, GCP, and Azure that are fast, secure, auto-scaling, and cost-optimized. Whether you're moving off shared hosting, setting up your first CI/CD pipeline, or optimizing a $50K/month cloud bill — we've done it.
The Pain Points That Brought You Here
Deployments are manual and terrifying.
Every release is a prayer. SSH into the server, pull the latest code, restart the service, and hope nothing breaks. No CI/CD. No automated tests. No rollback plan. One wrong push and production is down for hours. Your "deployment process" is a developer's muscle memory.
Your AWS bill is $8,000/month and growing
but nobody can explain why. Unused EC2 instances running 24/7. Oversized RDS databases. S3 buckets accumulating data nobody accesses. No cost alerts, no right-sizing, no reserved instances. You're paying for cloud capacity you don't need.
You're still on shared hosting.
Your SaaS product serves 500+ users and it's running on a $20/month Hostinger shared server. Response times are unpredictable. There's no autoscaling. A traffic spike would take you down. And your data lives on a server shared with 200 other websites.
Your team can't deploy without "the DevOps guy."
One person holds all the infrastructure knowledge. They set up the servers, wrote the deployment scripts, configured the firewall, and manage the DNS. If they're on vacation — or quit — nobody can deploy, debug infrastructure issues, or even restart a service. That's a bus factor of 1.
Security is an afterthought.
No WAF. No automated vulnerability scanning. Database credentials in environment files committed to Git. SSH keys shared across the team. No audit logs. You've been lucky so far — but luck isn't a security strategy.
You need to scale but your architecture won't let you.
Single server. Single database. No caching layer. No CDN. Every new feature slows the entire application. You need to architect for growth, but your current setup is a monolith duct-taped together over 3 years.
What We Do
Cloud Architecture & Setup
Designing and deploying production-grade cloud infrastructure from scratch.
- VPC configuration with public/private subnets
- Load balancing (ALB/NLB) with health checks
- Auto-scaling groups based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics
- Security groups and network ACLs
- IAM policies (least privilege access)
- Multi-region setup for high availability and disaster recovery
- DNS configuration (Route 53, Cloudflare)
- SSL/TLS certificate management
Cloud Migration
Moving workloads from bare metal, shared hosting, legacy cloud, or other providers to modern cloud infrastructure.
- Lift and shift: Moving existing applications to cloud VMs with minimal changes
- Re-platform: Optimizing applications for cloud-native services during migration
- Re-architect: Redesigning applications for cloud-native architecture (containers, serverless, managed services)
- Zero-downtime migration with DNS-level switchover
- Data migration with integrity verification
- Full rollback plan at every stage
CI/CD Pipeline Setup
Automated build, test, and deploy pipelines — push to main = deploy to production (safely).
- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins pipeline configuration
- Automated testing (unit, integration, e2e) in the pipeline
- Staging → production deployment workflow
- Rollback mechanisms (blue-green, canary, or feature flags)
- Environment variable and secrets management
- Build caching for faster deployments
- Slack/email notifications for build status
Containerization & Orchestration
Consistent, portable, scalable deployments with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Dockerfile optimization (multi-stage builds, minimal images)
- Docker Compose for local development
- Kubernetes cluster setup (EKS, GKE, or self-managed)
- Helm charts for application deployment
- Service mesh configuration (Istio, Linkerd)
- Container registry management (ECR, GCR)
Monitoring, Logging & Alerting
You can't fix what you can't see. We build observability into your infrastructure from Day 1.
- CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, or New Relic dashboard setup
- Application performance monitoring (APM)
- Log aggregation (CloudWatch Logs, ELK stack, Loki)
- Custom alerting rules (uptime, latency, error rates, cost anomalies)
- PagerDuty/OpsGenie integration for on-call rotation
- Synthetic monitoring (automated checks from multiple regions)
Security & Compliance
Hardening your infrastructure against threats and preparing for compliance audits.
- IAM policy review and least-privilege enforcement
- Secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault)
- WAF (Web Application Firewall) configuration
- Automated vulnerability scanning (Inspector, GuardDuty)
- SSL/TLS enforcement and certificate automation
- Compliance framework alignment (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001)
- Audit log configuration and retention
Cost Optimization
Reducing your cloud bill without reducing your infrastructure quality.
- Right-sizing analysis (downsizing oversized instances)
- Reserved Instance / Savings Plans recommendations
- Spot Instance strategies for non-critical workloads
- Storage tiering (moving cold data to cheaper storage classes)
- Idle resource identification and termination
- Cost allocation tags and departmental billing
- Monthly cost reviews with optimization recommendations

Our DevOps Philosophy
1. Infrastructure as code, always. We never click around in the AWS console to configure production. Everything is Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK — version-controlled, reviewable, reproducible. If the server catches fire, we recreate the entire infrastructure in minutes, not days.
2. Automate everything you do twice. If a deployment requires manual steps, it will eventually fail. If monitoring requires someone checking a dashboard, alerts will be missed. We automate builds, tests, deployments, scaling, backups, and alerting — humans handle exceptions, not routine.
3. Optimize after stability. We don't optimize costs before the infrastructure is reliable. First: it works. Second: it's monitored. Third: it's secure. Fourth: it's cost-optimized. In that order.

FAQs
AWS for most SaaS products (broadest service catalog, most mature). GCP for data-heavy and ML products. Azure for Microsoft-ecosystem companies. We'll recommend the best fit based on your stack, team, and budget.
Yes. We audit first, document the current state, optimize, and then manage ongoing. No need to rebuild from scratch.
Yes, as part of our managed services tier. Automated alerting plus human escalation for critical issues. Average response time: <15 minutes for critical alerts.
On average, 30-50% reduction after our first optimization pass. We've seen savings as high as 65% for companies that have never optimized.
Yes. We design infrastructure to meet compliance requirements from the start — encryption at rest/transit, audit logs, access controls, network isolation, and secrets management.
Yes — Route 53, Cloudflare, or your existing DNS provider. Domain transfers, SSL certificates, subdomain routing, and CDN configuration all included.
That's fine. We offer focused engagements for specific needs — CI/CD only, cost optimization only, security audit only. Start with what matters most.
