Services we offer
- 01Cloud Computing Solutions
> Infrastructure That Matches Your Ambition <
Most organizations approach cloud adoption with unclear requirements and fragmented tooling. That creates sprawl. Our team engineers cloud environments using AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to consolidate resources, enforce data security policies, and maintain high availability across regions. We architect multicloud configurations that let you select the best solutions for each workload without getting locked into a single cloud provider. Chicago businesses gain from local data center proximity, which reduces latency for real time collaboration and ensures regulatory compliance for sensitive operations.

- 02DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure
> AUTOMATION THAT ELIMINATES MANUAL OVERHEAD <
Manual deployments create inconsistency. Infrastructure as Code removes that variability. Our engineers implement CI/CD pipelines that automate testing, deployment, and rollback procedures across your cloud environment. We configure containerization using Kubernetes and Docker to ensure applications run identically in development, staging, and production. Chicago organizations working with financial data or healthcare records need this level of precision to maintain regulatory requirements. DevOps practices reduce costs by catching issues before they reach production. We set up observability tools that surface problems immediately rather than after users complain. Log aggregation and performance monitoring give your team data driven insights without requiring internal expertise in every platform. The infrastructure we configure runs autonomously, alerting engineers only when intervention is necessary.
- CI/CD pipeline configuration
- Container orchestration setup
- Infrastructure as Code templates
- Automated security scanning
- Environment parity enforcement
- 03Cloud Migration Services
> MIGRATIONS THAT MINIMIZE DISRUPTION <
Cloud migration is the strategic process of moving applications, data, and IT resources from on premise infrastructure to cloud environments. Our team conducts thorough assessments of your current systems before creating a detailed migration roadmap. We handle the migration process in phases, using blue green deployments and canary releases to ensure minimal downtime during cutover. With expert guidance, our team ensures a smooth transition by minimizing disruption and downtime, so your business operations remain uninterrupted. Chicago’s network dense data centers and cloud onramps at facilities like CoreSite and Equinix enable efficient transition with reduced latency.

WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BUILD TOGETHER
Direct feedback from founders and product owners – including our partners right here in Chicago, IL – after shipping, scaling, and maintaining real production systems.
WHAT CHANGED IN PRACTICE
Clients didn’t stay because of promises. They stayed because delivery became predictable, ownership was clear, and the product kept moving forward after launch.
- 01Direct Access to Senior Engineers
You work directly with senior engineers who have configured cloud infrastructure across dozens of production environments. No project coordinators filtering your questions. No account managers scheduling callbacks. When you raise a technical concern, the person who responds is the same person implementing the solution. This direct line means faster resolution and fewer misunderstandings. Your team communicates with people who understand cloud architecture at a fundamental level.
- 02Predictable Delivery
Timelines mean something when your engineers have done similar work before. Our team estimates based on actual experience with cloud migration services and infrastructure configuration. We identify potential roadblocks during planning rather than discovering them mid project. Weekly updates show progress against milestones with honest assessments of any delays. You know what to expect and when to expect it. Predictable execution lets you coordinate other initiatives without constantly adjusting schedules.
- 03Built to Last Past Launch
Cloud environments configured for launch day often fail at production volumes. We engineer infrastructure to handle real world loads from the beginning. Documentation explains every configuration decision so future engineers can maintain systems without archaeology. Monitoring and alerting work before you need them. Updates and patches follow established procedures that prevent accidental downtime. The systems we hand over remain operational years after initial deployment.
- 04No Babysitting Required
Managed cloud services from our team run without daily oversight from your staff. Automated responses handle routine incidents while alerting systems surface problems that require human attention. Your operations team focuses on product development rather than infrastructure maintenance. We configure systems to self heal where possible and document escalation procedures for everything else. Monthly reports summarize performance and cost optimization opportunities. You stay informed without staying involved in every operational detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is communication handled during cloud computing projects?
You get a dedicated Slack channel or Teams workspace where your team communicates directly with our engineers handling your cloud infrastructure. No intermediaries filter technical discussions. Weekly status calls review progress against milestones with screen sharing for complex architecture decisions. We document every decision in shared repositories accessible to your team. Emergency issues route directly to on call engineers with response time commitments. Communication adapts to your preferences whether that means daily standups or asynchronous updates.
What types of cloud computing projects are a good fit for SoftDoes?
We work with organizations at every stage of cloud adoption. Early stage startups need foundational cloud infrastructure configured correctly from the beginning. Established companies often require migration services to move legacy systems into modern cloud environments. Teams with internal expertise sometimes need additional capacity for complex hybrid cloud deployments. Compliance focused organizations benefit from our experience with regulated industries. We engage on short term assessments and long term ongoing support arrangements.
How do you help optimize cloud costs after migration?
Post migration optimization starts with baseline usage analysis across your cloud resources. We identify overprovisioned instances running below capacity and recommend rightsizing. Reserved instance commitments reduce costs for predictable workloads. Automated policies spin down development environments outside business hours. Monthly cost reports show spending trends with recommendations for reducing waste. We configure alerts that notify your team when usage exceeds thresholds so unexpected bills never surprise you.
How do you handle scope changes in cloud projects?
Requirements evolve as teams learn more about their cloud environment needs. We document change requests and assess impact on timeline and budget before implementation. Small adjustments fold into existing work without formal change orders. Larger shifts require updated estimates and stakeholder approval before proceeding. Every change gets tracked so you understand how scope evolved over the project. We focus on delivering what you actually need rather than defending original specifications that no longer apply.
What happens after cloud solution launch?
Launch marks the beginning of production operations. We provide ongoing support for monitoring, maintenance, and incident response based on your requirements. Knowledge transfer sessions ensure your team understands the systems we configured. Documentation covers operational procedures, troubleshooting guides, and escalation paths. Post launch optimization reviews identify performance improvements and cost savings opportunities. Transition arrangements vary based on whether you prefer managed cloud services from our team or independent operation with advisory support.
Who owns the cloud infrastructure accounts and configurations?
You own everything. All AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud accounts remain under your organization with your billing relationships. We work within your accounts using role based secure access that you control. Infrastructure as Code templates, deployment scripts, and configuration files belong to you. Credentials and secrets stay in your vaults. When our engagement ends, we remove our access and you retain complete control. No lock in to SoftDoes or any particular arrangement.
What makes SoftDoes different from typical agencies?
Agencies often staff projects with junior engineers supervised remotely by senior architects. We deploy senior engineers directly on client work. No bench rotation cycling unfamiliar people through your cloud infrastructure. Our team members have configured production cloud environments across multiple industries and understand what works at real world volumes. We focus on technical outcomes rather than billable hours. Long term system sustainability matters more than impressive proposals that fail in production.
How do you price projects?
Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and engagement type. Cloud migration services typically quote fixed fees after assessment reveals actual system complexity. Ongoing managed cloud services use monthly retainers based on infrastructure size and support requirements. Time and materials arrangements work for advisory engagements with variable scope. We provide detailed estimates before starting work so you understand costs before committing. No hidden fees for standard cloud provider expenses or routine maintenance activities.
