Services for businesses in Lucknow, India and beyond
Cloud and infrastructure setup so a system can be deployed, watched, and handed back to you.
Cloud and infrastructure setup is the work of giving software a place to run that your team can actually operate: accounts in your name, a repeatable deploy, backups, and enough monitoring to know when something is down. The usual platforms are AWS, Azure, and Vercel. The usual delivery pieces are CI/CD, Docker where a container helps, and logs you can read.
Sunbeam sets this up from Lucknow for products and business systems used in India and elsewhere. The aim is an environment that matches the workload you have, not a platform diagram for a company several stages larger. You keep the cloud account.
The business case
What better looks like.
- A cloud account your organisation owns
- A release that can be repeated from the repository
- A backup that has been restored once, and an alert a person receives
What it is
A deploy path, a backup, and a way to see failure
Infrastructure work covers where the application runs, how a change reaches it, how secrets are stored, how data is backed up, and who is told when a health check fails. Docker is useful when the application needs a predictable runtime. It is not a requirement for every site. Vercel fits many web front ends. AWS or Azure fits workloads that need a private network, a queue, or data that should stay in a chosen region.
This is separate from building the product, and it is often done alongside that build. It can also be a takeover of an environment someone else left undocumented.
Accounts you own
The cloud, the repository, and the domain sit with your organisation. We are users, not the landlord.
A repeatable release
CI/CD so a change is built the same way each time, with a record of what was deployed.
Monitoring that means something
A check that the service responds, and an alert that reaches a person. Not a dashboard nobody opens.
A restore you have tried
A backup policy is incomplete until someone has restored from it once.
Who it is for
Teams that need a system to stay up after launch
This fits a first production launch, a move off a laptop or a single server, and a company whose deploy currently depends on one person. It fits poorly when the application itself is the problem and hosting will not change that, or when the request is a large platform programme with no workload to host yet.
A launch
The product is ready enough to have users, and it needs a home.
A takeover
Something is already in a cloud account, and nobody can explain how a release happens.
A region or a compliance constraint
The data has to live somewhere specific. We plan for that instead of discovering it after launch.
A small team
The setup should be operable by the people you actually have.
How we work
Start from the workload, then choose the platform
We look at what the software does, how often it changes, where the data should live, and who will be on call. AWS, Azure, and Vercel are all normal choices. We pick the one that fits, and we say when the one you already pay for is enough. Docker, pipelines, and monitoring are added where they remove a real risk, not as a checklist.
What has to stay available?
A marketing site and a system that takes bookings are different operational problems.
Who gets the alert?
If nobody is named, monitoring will not help.
Where may the data live?
Region and access are decided before the account is filled with resources.
What does a release look like today?
We keep what is already safe and replace what depends on memory.
Typical stack
AWS, Azure, or Vercel, with a pipeline you can rerun
Web applications we build often ship with Next.js on Vercel or on AWS, a Go service when there is a worker, and Postgres for the records. Docker is used when the runtime needs to be the same in CI and in production. GitHub Actions or a similar CI system builds and deploys. Logs and a simple uptime check are part of the setup. The exact list is written in the proposal because a static site does not need the same machinery as a multi-service system.
Host
AWS, Azure, or Vercel
Chosen for the workload, the region, and who will operate the account.
Release
CI/CD
A pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys from the repository, with secrets kept out of the code.
Runtime
Docker, when it helps
A container for services that need a fixed environment. Not a container for its own sake.
Signals
Monitoring
Health checks, logs, and an alert path. Enough to notice a failure the same day.
Timeline ranges
A straightforward setup is days or a few weeks.
A new account for a single web application is the short end. A takeover of an undocumented environment, a data residency constraint, or several services that deploy independently is longer. These are ranges for planning, and they assume you can create the account in your organisation's name.
A few days
A single web app
Repository, hosting, a pipeline, and a basic health check, when the application is already buildable.
2 to 4 weeks
A system with data and a worker
Database, backups, secrets, a queue or worker if you need one, and a restore that has been tried.
Longer
A takeover
Inventory of what is running, the urgent risks, and a staged path so a release no longer depends on one person.
Process
How infrastructure is handed over
The work is finished when someone on your side can see the account, follow a release, and know who is notified if the service fails.
01
Name the workload
What runs, how often it changes, and what an hour of downtime would mean.
02
Open accounts in your name
Billing and ownership sit with you from the start.
03
Make a release repeatable
The pipeline deploys what is in the repository. Manual steps are written down or removed.
04
Add the signals
Logs, a health check, and an alert that reaches a person.
05
Prove the backup
Restore once, on a non-production target, before calling the backup real.
06
Hand over the map
Where things run, who has access, and how to turn a deploy off.
Who this is for
For teams ready to improve an important part of the business.
- Teams launching a first production system
- Companies taking over an undocumented environment
- Owners who need the data to live in a specific region
Frequently asked questions
Useful questions before you begin.
Which clouds do you set up?
AWS, Azure, and Vercel are the usual choices. We pick from the workload, the region, and who will operate the account.
Do we have to use Docker?
No. Docker is used when the runtime needs to match between CI and production. A simple web app often does not need it.
Who owns the account?
You do. Billing and root access sit with your organisation. We are users on that account.
Is this the same as the cloud infrastructure service?
That page covers running and improving an application environment. This page is the setup: account, pipeline, backup, and monitoring, including when we are also building the software.
