Cloud services that keep your product online and affordable

We design, build, migrate and run cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so your team ships features instead of fighting servers.

cluster / sample topology

One team for your entire cloud footprint

Cloud services cover everything from choosing the right provider and designing the network to deploying applications, watching them in production and keeping the monthly bill under control. Many growing companies end up with a patchwork: one freelancer set up the servers, another wrote the deploy scripts, and nobody owns the whole picture. That is where outages, security gaps and surprise invoices usually come from.

Nexzem works with startups, SaaS teams and established businesses across 15+ industries that want a single accountable partner for AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. We start with how your application actually behaves, then build infrastructure as code, automated deployments and monitoring around it. You keep full ownership of every account, template and runbook we produce, and you can bring the work in-house whenever you choose.

One architecture, on the cloud that fits you

We design the system first and pick the provider second. Switch clouds to see the same layers named in each catalogue.

Every layer is defined once in Terraform. Switching provider changes the names, not the design or who owns it.

Our Cloud services

Cloud architecture, migration, operations and cost control on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, delivered by one team.

  1. 01

    Cloud architecture design

    Network layout, compute choices, storage tiers and failover planned around your traffic patterns, data rules and budget, then documented so any engineer can follow it.

  2. 02

    Infrastructure as code

    Terraform templates for every environment, so staging and production match, changes go through review and a lost region can be rebuilt from version control.

  3. 03

    Cloud-native app development

    Containerised services, serverless functions and managed databases built to scale with demand, instead of oversized servers sitting idle all night.

  4. 04

    Migration and modernisation

    Move workloads from on-premise servers, shared hosting or another cloud with planned cutovers, data validation and a tested rollback path.

  5. 05

    Monitoring and alerting

    Dashboards, log collection and alert rules that tell the right person about real problems before customers notice, without flooding inboxes with noise.

  6. 06

    Backup and disaster recovery

    Automated snapshots, cross-region copies and documented restore drills, so recovery time and acceptable data loss are known numbers rather than guesses.

  7. 07

    Cost management

    Rightsizing, reserved capacity planning, storage lifecycle rules and tagging that shows which product or client is driving each line of the bill.

Cloud with Nexzem: what you get

status

  • One accountable partner

    Architecture, deployment and operations sit with one team, so there is no finger-pointing between vendors when something breaks at a bad time.

  • You own everything

    Cloud accounts stay in your name, and all code, templates and documentation belong to you, with 100% of the IP transferred.

  • Provider-neutral advice

    We recommend AWS, Azure or Google Cloud based on your stack, team skills and pricing, not on which platform we happen to prefer.

  • Predictable spend

    Budgets, alerts and tagging from day one mean finance sees costs coming instead of reading about them after the month closes.

How Cloud Services engagements run

Clear stages with a review at the end of each, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

  1. step/01 discovery-call

    Discovery call

    We learn about your product, users, compliance needs and current setup, then agree on goals such as uptime, release speed or lower cost.

  2. step/02 assessment

    Assessment

    Our engineers review existing infrastructure, code and bills to find risks, waste and quick wins, and share the findings in plain language.

  3. step/03 architecture-and-plan

    Architecture and plan

    You receive a target design, timeline and a fixed quote or team plan, with trade-offs explained so you can decide with confidence.

  4. step/04 build-and-deploy

    Build and deploy

    We write infrastructure as code, set up pipelines and move workloads in stages, testing each step before production traffic arrives.

  5. step/05 operate-and-improveongoing

    Operate and improve

    Monitoring, patching and monthly cost reviews keep the platform healthy, with a clear handover pack if your own team takes over.

Cloud Services, in depth

docs / cloud-services / 01-signs-your-business-needs-a-cloud-partner.md

Signs your business needs a cloud partner

Many companies start with a single server set up by a developer who has since moved on. Warning signs follow: nobody is sure how the servers are configured, backups have never been restored as a test, deployments happen manually late at night, and the monthly bill keeps rising without anyone knowing why. Each of these is manageable alone, but together they create real business risk.

Other triggers include customer security questionnaires you cannot answer confidently, plans to enter new regions, a big launch or seasonal peak that could overwhelm current capacity, and audits for standards such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2. A cloud partner brings structure: documented architecture, infrastructure as code, monitoring and a clear owner for incidents.

Bringing in help does not mean giving up control. A good partner works inside your own cloud accounts, documents decisions and trains your team, so you can operate independently later if you choose. Ask for this commitment in writing before work begins, together with a clear list of the documents you will receive.

docs / cloud-services / 02-how-to-evaluate-a-cloud-services-provider.md

How to evaluate a cloud services provider

Certifications show that engineers have studied a platform, but production experience matters more. Ask how the provider handles incidents, how they test backups and how they manage access to client accounts. Request a sample architecture document and a recent anonymized cost review. The questions below reveal how a provider actually works.

Watch how the provider talks about trade-offs. A good partner explains why a simpler design is enough for now, where reliability investments pay off, and which services might lock you in to one cloud. Providers who recommend the most complex architecture by default, or cannot explain their choices in business terms, tend to create higher bills and fragile systems.

  • Will everything be deployed in our own accounts and defined as code?
  • Who is on call, and what response times do you commit to?
  • How do you control and audit your engineers' access?
  • How often do you review costs, and what savings have you delivered?
  • What does handover look like if we end the engagement?

docs / cloud-services / 03-common-cloud-mistakes-that-raise-cost-and-risk.md

Common cloud mistakes that raise cost and risk

The most common cost problem is paying for capacity nobody uses: oversized instances, forgotten test environments, unattached storage volumes and old snapshots. On the risk side, frequent issues include root or administrator accounts without multi-factor authentication, storage buckets accidentally made public, security groups open to the whole internet and logs that are not retained long enough to investigate incidents. Each is simple to fix once someone actually looks, which is why scheduled reviews matter.

Both problems share a root cause: changes made by hand without review. Infrastructure as code, tagging policies, budgets with alerts and regular access reviews keep environments understandable as they grow. Monthly reviews of cost reports and security findings, with owners assigned to each action, stop small issues from becoming expensive ones.

Where Cloud Services fits

  • env/01

    Startup outgrowing a single server

    A growing startup moves from one hand-configured server to a managed container platform with separate staging and production, automated deployments, managed database backups and monitoring, so releases become routine and outages are caught within minutes.

  • env/02

    Ecommerce peak season scaling

    An online retailer prepares for festival sales with autoscaling, CDN caching, load testing against expected peak traffic and a runbook for the event, keeping checkout responsive while costs drop back automatically after the sale ends.

  • env/03

    Compliant hosting for health data

    A healthtech company hosts patient data in a cloud environment designed for privacy requirements, with encryption, network isolation, detailed audit logs and access reviews that support compliance assessments and customer security questionnaires.

  • env/04

    Disaster recovery for an ERP

    A manufacturer replicates its on-premises ERP database and application servers to the cloud, with documented recovery steps tested twice a year, so production can continue if the factory data center suffers an outage.

  • env/05

    Multi-region SaaS deployment

    A SaaS company serving customers in India and Europe deploys separate regional environments to meet data residency expectations and reduce latency, managed from one infrastructure-as-code repository so both regions stay consistent.

Cloud FAQs

Something else on your mind? Ask a consultant and get a reply within one business day.

How much do cloud services cost?

Cost depends on the number of applications and environments, the provider, compliance requirements, whether migration is involved and how much ongoing support you need. Your cloud provider bill is separate from our fees. After a free consultation we share a fixed quote for scoped projects, or a monthly plan for ongoing operations.

Which cloud should we choose: AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?

All three are capable. AWS has the widest service catalogue, Azure fits companies already on Microsoft 365 and .NET, and Google Cloud is strong for data and Kubernetes workloads. We compare them against your stack, team skills, regional data needs and pricing before recommending one.

Will we lose control of our cloud accounts?

No. Accounts are created under your organisation and billed to you. We work through role-based access with least privilege, and you can remove our access at any time. All templates, scripts and documentation are handed over, and you own 100% of the source code and IP.

Can you work with our existing developers?

Yes. Most clients keep their product engineers and bring us in for infrastructure, pipelines and operations. We document decisions, review pull requests together and run handover sessions so your team understands every part of the setup.

Do you sign an NDA before we share details?

Yes, we sign an NDA on request before any technical discussion. Access to your systems follows least privilege, credentials are stored in a secrets manager, and access is revoked when the engagement ends.

What support do you offer after setup?

You can choose a monthly managed plan covering monitoring, patching, incident response and cost reviews, or a lighter retainer for advice and changes. Response times are agreed upfront and written into the support plan.

Should we use managed cloud services or run our own servers in the cloud?

Managed services, such as managed databases, container platforms and queues, cost more per unit of capacity but remove patching, backups and failover work. For most small and mid-size teams, that trade is worthwhile because engineering time is the scarcer resource. Self-managed servers make sense for specialized software or very large, steady workloads.

Can you design our cloud setup for Indian data residency rules?

Yes. All major providers operate regions in India, and we can keep data, backups and logs within them. Some rules, such as RBI requirements for payment system data, mandate storage in India, while others depend on contracts or sector guidance. We map your obligations with your compliance advisers and design the architecture accordingly.

What is infrastructure as code, and why does it matter?

Infrastructure as code means defining servers, networks, databases and permissions in version-controlled files, using tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, instead of clicking through consoles. Changes are reviewed, repeatable and documented automatically, environments can be recreated reliably, and you are never dependent on one person's memory of how things were set up.
