CLOUD & DEVOPS
Ship faster on infrastructure you can trust.
Infrastructure decisions made carelessly early become the reason releases slow down later. Stack18 designs cloud infrastructure and DevOps pipelines built for reliability and speed together — provisioned, documented, and handed to your team to run.
Slow releases are usually an infrastructure problem wearing a process disguise. Stack18 builds cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines as part of the same governed pipeline as your application code — so releases are fast because the infrastructure was designed for it, not despite it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
What Cloud & DevOps with Stack18 includes.
Infrastructure and pipelines designed for reliability, cost control, and release velocity.
Cloud architecture design
Infrastructure designed for your scale, availability, and cost requirements on the cloud of your choice.
Infrastructure as code
Provisioning defined as versioned, reviewable code — not manual console configuration.
CI/CD pipeline design
Automated build, test, and deployment pipelines built for your release cadence.
Monitoring & observability
Dashboards and alerting that catch problems before your customers do.
Security & cost optimization
Access controls, network security, and cost governance built into the infrastructure.
Runbooks & handoff
Documentation and runbooks so your team can operate the infrastructure independently.
HOW IT WORKS
The same governed pipeline, applied to infrastructure.
Every Stack18 engagement runs on one workflow — discovery, architecture & design, build & assure, deploy & operate — with a named human owner approving each gate.
Assess requirements
Define the scale, availability, and compliance requirements the infrastructure must meet.
Design the architecture
Architect cloud infrastructure and pipelines as versioned, reviewable code.
Provision & automate
Build CI/CD pipelines and provision infrastructure with automated testing at every stage.
Monitor & operate
Stand up observability and hand over runbooks for independent operation.

FAQ
Questions about Cloud & DevOps.
Which cloud providers do you work with?
Stack18 is cloud-agnostic — AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and others are supported, with the provider chosen based on your existing footprint, compliance needs, and cost considerations.
Can you improve our existing infrastructure instead of rebuilding it?
Yes. Discovery reviews your existing infrastructure and pipelines to identify targeted improvements, and work can be scoped as incremental hardening rather than a full rebuild.
Do you provide ongoing infrastructure support?
Runbooks and documentation are handed over so your team can operate independently, and ongoing support or an embedded pod engagement is available if you want Stack18 to keep running it.
