Cloud & DevOps
A release path, not just a server
Apex sets up the environments, containers, and delivery workflow a product needs in Azure, AWS, or both.
Cloud work at Apex is tied to a product. The goal is a boring path from a reviewed change to a running environment, with enough visibility to know when that path fails.
Docker, Cloudflare, and Kubernetes are used when the deployment shape needs them. They are not added by default.
Capabilities
Environments
Separate places to build, review, and run the product.
Delivery
A pipeline that builds, tests, and ships without a manual checklist.
Runtime
Containers and cloud services sized to the application, on Azure or AWS.
Visibility
Logs and health checks so a failure is obvious.
Why teams use this
Releases stay small
The team can ship a fix without a weekend cutover.
Matches the application
Infrastructure follows the software, not a generic diagram.
How an engagement runs
01
Discover
Map the workflow, users, data, and constraints before choosing a technical approach.
02
Define
Agree the product scope, architecture, and the first release that is worth putting in front of users.
03
Design
Design the experience, system boundaries, and data model together so engineering is not guessing.
04
Build
Ship in short iterations with review, testing, and a working environment the team can use.

Which clouds do you use?
Azure and AWS are the primary environments, with Cloudflare, Docker, and Kubernetes where the deployment needs them.
Is this only hosting?
No. The work covers environments, delivery pipelines, observability, and the operational path from a merge to a running release.
