We already have some Terraform. Can you refactor it rather than start fresh?

Absolutely. Most engagements start with existing infrastructure. We audit what you have, identify drift, and incrementally bring it into a clean state. No tearing things down and risking downtime.

What is SOPS and why do you use it?

SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) encrypts secret values in your Terraform files using a KMS key, so the encrypted file can be committed to git safely. It avoids the common mistake of storing secrets in Terraform state or environment variables in plaintext.

How do you handle existing AWS resources not created with Terraform?

We import them into Terraform state so they become managed without being recreated. We do this incrementally to avoid surprises.

What if someone creates or changes resources by hand after the Terraform is in place?

We alert on it. A Terraform plan alone won't catch a hand-made resource: if it was never in state, plan doesn't know it exists. So instead we watch the cloud's own audit log (on AWS, CloudTrail via EventBridge) and alert whenever a create, update, or delete is performed by any identity that isn't your Terraform pipeline. You get immediate awareness of click-ops changes, and from there we either bring the resource into code or revert it, keeping your real infrastructure and your Terraform in sync.

Infrastructure that behaves like good code

/ / How we work

Clear from first conversation to handover.

You always know what's happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

M / 01

Audit & design

We map your current infrastructure, identify drift and gaps, and agree the target Terraform layout.
M / 02

Build & review

We write the modules, run a Terraform plan against your environment, and review the diff with your team before applying anything.
M / 03

Handover

We hand over documentation, walk through the codebase with your team, and leave you able to extend it without us.

/ / A good fit?

Built for teams at an inflection point.

01
Teams whose infrastructure lives in someone's head or the AWS console
02
Engineering leads preparing for a security audit or SOC 2 certification
03
Startups moving from a prototype deployment to a production-grade setup
04
Companies who have Terraform but know it has grown untidy and needs a proper refactor

/ / What's included

No mystery.
Just the work.

We shape every engagement around your context, but these are the foundations you can expect.

|> Infrastructure audit and gap analysis against your current setup
01
|> Terraform module design for your stack (AWS ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, VPC)
02
|> SOPS-based secret management wired into your deployment pipeline
03
|> OIDC-based deployment from GitHub Actions: no long-lived AWS credentials
04
|> State backend setup (S3 + DynamoDB locking)
05
|> Drift alerting: cloud audit events (AWS CloudTrail) that flag any change made by a non-Terraform identity
06
|> Documentation and runbooks so your team can operate and extend it
