Establish current state, evidence, constraints, and the business outcome that matters.
Startup Cloud Engineering
Senior cloud engineering for startups that need to scale without rebuilding later
ARCO helps product and engineering teams design pragmatic cloud foundations, ship safely, control spend, strengthen security, and improve production reliability with direct senior support.
Engineering scope
Connect the assessment to a platform your team can operate.
We organize discovery, architecture decisions, implementation, and ownership into one controlled delivery path—so the result is useful after the engagement ends.
Scope to execution
01
Cloud architecture: AWS and GCP architecture aligned with product stage, risk, growth, and engineering capacity.
02
Security & compliance: Identity, encryption, logging, secrets, network controls, evidence readiness, and practical governance.
03
Cost optimization: Billing visibility, rightsizing, commitments, Kubernetes efficiency, budgets, and cost ownership.
04
DevOps automation: Terraform, CI/CD, GitOps, release safety, environment consistency, and rollback readiness.
05
Reliability engineering: Observability, SLOs, alert quality, backups, recovery, incident readiness, and resilience.
06
Senior advisory: Roadmaps, architecture reviews, delivery oversight, and knowledge transfer without generic consulting layers.
Business value
What improves after the work is delivered.
01
Current-state assessment
02
Prioritized risk and opportunity register
03
Architecture and implementation recommendations
04
30-, 60-, and 90-day roadmap
Best fit
Built for teams with a real operating constraint.
Teams with a defined cloud priority but limited senior capacity
Organizations that need assessment and implementation from one accountable partner
Engineering leaders who need risk, cost, and delivery tradeoffs made explicit
Cloud owners who want documentation and knowledge transfer built into delivery
Delivery sequence
A controlled path from evidence to implementation.
Design
Define the target architecture, controls, delivery plan, and ownership model.
Implement
Deliver approved changes with testing, visibility, and rollback planning.
Transfer
Document the operating model, validate outcomes, and hand over a prioritized next-step roadmap.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
