Cloud Deployment & Infrastructure: Ship it properly, then sleep.

CI and CD pipelines, edge hosting, monitoring and backups, on infrastructure you own.

Talk to an engineer

Software that is not deployed properly behaves like software that does not work. Releases become events people dread, nobody is quite sure what is running in production, and the first sign of a problem is a customer mentioning it.

Deployment done well is dull, which is the point. Changes ship in minutes, problems are caught before users find them, and restoring from a backup is something that has actually been tested.

( What this covers )

Cloud Deployment & Infrastructure, in practice

CI and CD pipelines

Automated tests, builds and deployment on every change, so shipping is routine rather than a decision.

Edge hosting

Served close to your users, with caching configured so pages are fast wherever people are.

Environments

Separate staging and production, with preview deployments per change so work can be reviewed before it is live.

Monitoring and alerting

Uptime, errors and performance tracked, with alerts that reach a person before a customer does.

Backups and recovery

Automated backups, and a restore that has been rehearsed. An untested backup is a hope, not a plan.

Security hardening

HTTPS, security headers, secret management and dependency updates applied as routine rather than after an incident.

( Worth talking to us if )

Any of this sounds familiar.

  • Deploying means someone copying files onto a server
  • There is no staging environment, so changes are tested in production
  • You learn about outages from customers
  • Nobody is certain whether backups work, because nobody has restored one
  • Your infrastructure was set up by someone who has since left

( How we work )

The shape of a typical build

  1. 01

    Review what is running

    What exists, what it costs, and where the actual risks are rather than the theoretical ones.

  2. 02

    Automate the pipeline

    Build, test and deploy on every change, so releasing stops being a manual ritual.

  3. 03

    Add the safety net

    Monitoring, alerting and backups, with a restore tested rather than assumed.

  4. 04

    Document and hand over

    Written so someone who did not build it can operate it at short notice.

( What you end up owning )

Everything, and no strings.

  • Infrastructure configuration held in your repository
  • Every account and service in your organisation's name
  • Runbooks for deployment, rollback and recovery
  • Monitoring dashboards your team can actually read

( Built with )

  • Vercel
  • GitHub Actions
  • Docker
  • PostgreSQL
  • Cloudflare
  • Sentry

Mainstream tools with deep talent pools, chosen so you are never dependent on us to maintain what we built.

Questions about Cloud Deployment & Infrastructure

Does CoreFinity Tech only deploy to Vercel?
No. CoreFinity Tech defaults to Vercel for Next.js projects but also deploys to AWS, Cloudflare and traditional hosting, choosing based on the client's stack and compliance requirements.
Who owns the hosting and cloud accounts?
The client owns every hosting and cloud account, set up in the client's organisation name and billed to the client. CoreFinity Tech is added only as a collaborator, so removing CoreFinity Tech never puts the infrastructure at risk.
How much does web application hosting cost?
Hosting cost depends on traffic and what the application does, and most small to medium projects cost in the low tens of US dollars a month. CoreFinity Tech estimates the hosting cost during scoping.
Can CoreFinity Tech take over existing cloud infrastructure?
Yes. CoreFinity Tech audits the running infrastructure first, delivers a written risk assessment, and fixes the issues in priority order.

( Cookies )

We would rather ask than assume.

This site sets nothing optional unless you say so. Analytics would tell us which pages are worth improving. Say no and the site works exactly the same. The cookie policy has the detail.

Remembers this choice and keeps the site secure and working. Nothing here identifies you, and it cannot be switched off.

Strictly necessary is always on

Analytics

Counts page views so we can see which pages are worth improving. Off unless you turn it on, and we do not use it to follow you around the web.

Marketing

Would let us measure whether an advert brought you here. We run none today, so leaving this off changes nothing you can see.
