Cloud infrastructure that stays quiet.

Four things we're actually good at

Everything else, we'll tell you to keep in-house. A two-person firm that pretends to do everything is a two-person firm that does nothing well.

01 / REVIEW

Architecture review

Two weeks inside your infrastructure, read-only. You get a written review you can hand to your board, a risk register ordered by what would actually hurt, and a 90-day plan your own engineers can execute without us.

2 weeks · fixed fee · from $4,800
02 / COST

Cost optimisation

Not "turn things off". We map spend to services and teams, kill the orphaned resources, right-size the rest, then put budgets and anomaly alerts in place so the number stays down after we leave.

3–5 weeks · fixed fee · from $9,500
03 / INCIDENTS

Incident readiness

SLOs that mean something, an on-call rotation a human can survive, runbooks written by someone who has been paged at 3am, and a game day to prove it all works before your customers find out it doesn't.

4 weeks · fixed fee · from $14,000
04 / MIGRATION

Migration

Cloud-to-cloud or data-centre-to-cloud, with a rollback plan that has been rehearsed. If the honest answer is "don't migrate yet", that's what you'll hear — in writing, with the numbers behind it.

6–10 weeks · scoped · from $24,000

Recent work

Names withheld under contract. Numbers aren't — they're the only part worth reading.

  • Series A SaaS AWS, 24 people, 41 services. Bill went from $19.3k to $11.4k a month in six weeks; pager alerts dropped from 60 to 4 per week. Two engineers left during the engagement — the runbooks are why nobody noticed.
  • EU logistics Moved 60 workloads from a single-region setup to two regions over nine weekends with no customer-visible downtime. Cutover plan had 14 checkpoints and a rehearsed rollback.
  • E-commerce, 9 people Asked for a migration quote. We spent four days on their current setup instead and told them to stay put. They paid for the review and saved roughly $60k in year-one migration cost.

What clients say

All three from engagements in the last 18 months, quoted with permission.

"They didn't sell us a platform. They fixed what we already had, wrote down why, and left. Our bill is 41% lower and nobody has been paged at night in a month."

CTO, 12-person SaaS startup, Series A, US

"Our first real outage happened on a Friday afternoon. The runbook Nimbus wrote for us is the reason it lasted 40 minutes instead of a weekend."

Head of Engineering, 30-person fintech, UK

"I've worked with three consultancies. These two are the first who told us not to do the project. We hired them again the following quarter."

Founder, 9-person e-commerce brand, NL

How we work

Small, senior, and deliberately boring about it.

We're two people. There is no account manager between you and the engineer doing the work, because there is no account manager. Everything we recommend, we have run ourselves in production — including the parts that failed.

We write things down. Every engagement ends with documents your team owns: architecture decisions, runbooks, a cost model, and an honest list of what we'd do next if we had another month. If you never hire us again, those documents should still be useful in a year.

  • EngagementFixed fee or fixed weekly rate. No time-and-materials surprises, no change-order games.
  • AccessRead-only by default. Write access only during a scheduled window you approve.
  • HandoverDocumentation plus two live walkthroughs with your team, recorded if you want.
  • ExitNo lock-in. Most clients come back for a review once a year; some never do, and that's fine.

Start with 30 minutes. It's free, and it's not a pitch.

Bring your bill and one thing that keeps breaking. You'll leave with two fixes you can make this week — whether or not you hire us.
