- 01DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure
> AUTOMATE WHAT YOUR TEAM REPEATS EVERY SPRINT <
Local firms implement automated CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code to eliminate manual deployment steps that slow releases and introduce human error. Our engineers write Terraform and configuration management code so every production environment is versioned, repeatable, and auditable. We set up Kubernetes clusters that manage containers across multiple hosts, handling rolling updates, terminating pods, spinning up new container images, and maintaining three replicas of each service without manual intervention. The control plane monitors the actual state against the desired state and corrects drift automatically. Cloud providers use proven methods to secure hosted data, and cloud security tools automate updates to mitigate emerging threats.
- CI/CD pipeline design and automation
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
- Kubernetes cluster deployment and management
- Container images and microservices architecture
- Monitoring, alerting, and observability setup
> INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT ACROSS ENVIRONMENTS <
How do Kansas City teams keep development, staging, and production aligned without configuration drift? We define every environment as code, so deploying to different environments uses the same templates with environment specific variables.
- Load balancers and incoming traffic routing
- Network traffic segmentation and security measures
- Self contained deployment packages
- Revision history for every infrastructure change
- 02Cloud Computing Solutions
> ELIMINATE IDLE CAPACITY AND FIXED HARDWARE COSTS <
Cloud computing replaces physical hardware with on demand computing resources distributed across data center facilities in and around the KC metro. Cloud infrastructure refers to the hardware and software components that run workloads without requiring local networking equipment or manual scaling. We configure virtual machines, storage services, and virtual networks that match each client's actual traffic patterns rather than worst case projections. Cloud infrastructure enables dynamic resource allocation to optimize costs, and cloud infrastructure allows rapid response to changing business conditions. We handle the full setup: identity management, network segmentation, encryption at rest and in transit, and automated backups that support business continuity in disaster scenarios. Cloud infrastructure supports remote work from any device, which matters for distributed Kansas City teams operating across the metro and beyond.
- Multi cloud and hybrid cloud configuration
- Virtual machine and container orchestration
- Resource allocation tuned to real usage
- Automated backup and disaster recovery
- Cost efficiency through reserved and spot instances
- 03Cloud Migration Services
> MOVE OFF AGING SYSTEMS WITHOUT LOSING A WEEKEND <
Local enterprise teams frequently transition legacy on premises workloads to cloud native architectures, but the process carries real risk: data loss, extended downtime, and runaway costs. Our cloud migration services start with a landing zone, the account structure, governance rules, identity setup, and network foundation that every migrated workload will sit on. We then run phased waves, starting with non critical systems to validate the approach before touching production databases. Cloud infrastructure replicates data across multiple data centers, so post migration resilience is a default rather than an add on. We support lift and shift for workloads that need to move fast, replatforming for applications that need minor adjustments, and full refactoring for monoliths that should become microservices. Every migration we run includes knowledge transfer so internal teams can operate the new environment independently.
- Landing zone and cloud foundation setup
- Phased migration with rollback plans
- Hybrid cloud configuration for mixed workloads
- Legacy application refactoring and replatforming
- Post migration cost optimization and training
- 04Managed Cloud Services
> KEEP YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE RUNNING WITHOUT HIRING A FULL OPS TEAM <
Cloud infrastructure is managed by experienced teams who handle patching, monitoring, and incident response so your engineers focus on application development rather than firefighting server alerts. Cloud providers ensure high availability and business continuity through redundant systems, and we layer additional monitoring on top to catch issues before users notice. Cloud infrastructure minimizes downtime during system failures because automated failover and load balancers redirect incoming traffic to healthy pods within seconds. Cost optimization is a core part of ongoing management. Without active oversight, cloud bills can increase due to idle resources, overprovisioned instances, and data egress charges. We run monthly reviews of resource allocation, rightsize instances, and apply reserved capacity where usage patterns are predictable. Cloud infrastructure enables rapid application scaling without upfront investments, and elasticity in cloud infrastructure allows real time resource adjustments.
- Real time monitoring and alerting
- Security patching and compliance auditing
- Monthly cost reviews and optimization
- Incident response and root cause analysis
- Performance tuning and capacity planning

WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BUILD TOGETHER
Direct feedback from founders and product owners – including our partners right here in Kansas City, KS – 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
Every project at SoftDoes is staffed with senior engineers who communicate directly with your team. There is no project manager relaying messages between your CTO and the person writing the Terraform. You talk to the engineer who wrote the code and can explain why each decision was made. This eliminates the telephone game that causes misaligned requirements and wasted sprints. The Kansas City area features a robust tech ecosystem for DevOps and cloud infrastructure, and our engineers participate in local groups like the Amazon Web Services Kansas City User Group, which hosts recurring educational events. That local involvement keeps our team's skills current and grounded in the tools KC companies actually use.
- 02Predictable Delivery
We scope every project with defined milestones, and each milestone has acceptance criteria your team reviews before we move forward. Timelines are based on our actual delivery history with similar workloads, not optimistic estimates. If a risk emerges mid project, we flag it in the next standup with a proposed adjustment rather than absorbing delays silently. Cloud engineering and DevOps consulting companies specialize in collaborative cloud solutions, and SoftDoes follows that model with weekly progress reports and demo sessions. Your team always knows what was completed, what is in progress, and what comes next. Predictable cadence means your internal planning stays on track.
- 03Built to Last Past Launch
Infrastructure that works on demo day but breaks under real traffic is not useful. We design every deployment for the next two years of operation, not just the launch date. That means proper monitoring, alerting thresholds tied to business metrics, and runbooks for common failure scenarios. We write documentation that your team can actually follow, not slide decks that collect dust. Knowledge transfer happens throughout the engagement rather than as a final handoff event. The result is infrastructure your internal team can maintain, extend, and troubleshoot independently after the engagement ends.
- 04No Babysitting Required
Our engineers operate as a self directed unit. They identify blockers, resolve them, and communicate status without requiring daily check ins from your leadership. You set the priorities; we execute. If a dependency on your side creates a delay, we shift to parallel work items rather than sitting idle. The region supports collaborative events including DevOpsDays Kansas City, and our team brings that same collaborative but autonomous mindset to every client engagement. Your operations leaders can focus on their own work knowing that the infrastructure project is progressing without constant oversight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about deploying, scaling, and securing your neural agents with SoftDoes. Can’t find an answer?
How is communication handled on DevOps and cloud infrastructure projects in Kansas City?
We use Slack or Microsoft Teams for day to day communication and hold weekly video calls to review progress against milestones. Each sprint ends with a demo session where our engineers walk through completed work and gather feedback. You receive a written summary after every call documenting decisions and next steps. If something urgent comes up between scheduled calls, our team responds within the same business day. We integrate into your existing communication tools rather than forcing a new platform. The local ecosystem revolves around active community groups like the DevOps Kansas City Meetup, and that collaborative culture shapes how we work with clients.
What types of cloud infrastructure projects are a good fit for SoftDoes in Kansas City?
We work on projects ranging from a single CI/CD pipeline setup to full environment migrations spanning hundreds of workloads. Small configuration improvements that take a few weeks are just as welcome as multi quarter infrastructure overhauls. Startups setting up their first Kubernetes cluster and enterprises migrating legacy on premises environments both fit our engagement model. We work with Kansas City companies in every sector and at every stage of cloud maturity. Community organizations track active local engineering groups and support industry growth, and we stay connected to that ecosystem. If your project involves cloud computing, containers, or automation, it is likely a fit.
Do you deploy MVPs or only large cloud infrastructure systems?
We handle both. An MVP might mean deploying a containerized application on a managed Kubernetes service with a basic CI/CD pipeline and monitoring. A large system might involve multi region cloud architecture with disaster recovery, compliance controls, and dozens of microservices. The approach is the same: define the desired state, automate the deployment, and hand off working infrastructure with documentation. We size our team to match the project, so you are not paying for excess capacity on a smaller engagement. Cloud delivery models vary, and we select the right combination of IaaS, PaaS, and serverless based on each project's requirements. Every engagement starts with a discovery session to define scope and confirm fit.
How do you handle scope changes on cloud infrastructure projects?
Scope changes are normal in engineering work. When a new requirement surfaces, we document it, estimate the impact on timeline and budget, and present options to your team before making any changes. If the change is minor and fits within the current sprint, we absorb it. If it requires additional work, we propose a revised plan with updated milestones. Everything is tracked in your project management tool so there is a clear record. Transparent communication ensures no surprises on either side.
What happens after launch of cloud infrastructure and DevOps systems?
After launch, we run a stabilization period where our engineers monitor the production environment and resolve any issues that appear under real user traffic. We conduct a formal handoff that includes documentation, runbooks, and a walkthrough with your internal team. If you want ongoing managed cloud services, we offer monthly retainers covering monitoring, patching, and cost optimization reviews. Knowledge transfer is part of every engagement, not an optional add on. Your team receives access to all configuration code, dashboards, and alerting rules. We want your team to operate independently after we step back.
Will we own the code and cloud infrastructure IP?
Yes. Every line of code, Terraform module, pipeline configuration, and documentation we create belongs to your company. There are no proprietary frameworks or locked dependencies that tie you to SoftDoes. All work is stored in your version control repositories from the start of the engagement. You retain full ownership and can modify, extend, or hand the codebase to another team at any time. We use open source tools and cloud provider native services wherever possible to avoid vendor lock in. Intellectual property transfer is part of our standard contract terms.
What makes SoftDoes different from a typical DevOps agency?
Most agencies assign junior engineers and manage them through project coordinators. At SoftDoes, every engineer on your project has direct experience with cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and compliance frameworks relevant to your sector. We do not mark up junior time; you get the person who can solve the problem on the first attempt. Our engagement model emphasizes knowledge transfer and documentation so you are never dependent on us. We participate in the Kansas City technology community and understand the local regulatory and infrastructure landscape. That combination of technical depth and local context is hard to replicate with a remote only vendor.
How do you price DevOps and cloud infrastructure projects?
We scope projects during a paid discovery phase that produces a detailed technical plan with estimated hours per milestone. Fixed scope engagements get a fixed total. Ongoing or evolving engagements use monthly retainers with defined deliverables and review cycles. We do not bill for project management overhead separately because our engineers communicate with you directly. Every proposal includes a breakdown of what each phase covers so you can evaluate the investment against specific outcomes. Cloud infrastructure projects with well defined requirements receive the most accurate estimates, and we refine as needed during execution.
What to Expect on a Discovery Call with a Software Development Company
A discovery call with SoftDoes is a 30 minute conversation to determine whether your business challenges align with our engineering expertise. There is no sales pitch, no pressure, and no expectation that you arrive with a technical specification. You explain your current situation, we ask questions, discuss possible directions, and together decide whether moving forward makes sense.
HL7 Data Integration: How to Connect EHR, Billing, Lab, and Patient Systems
Healthcare
Most healthcare organizations in the U.S. and Canada run at least four or five core systems that need to talk to each other: an EHR, a billing platform, a lab system, imaging, and a patient portal. When those systems don't communicate effectively, staff re-enter data, claims get denied, and clinicians miss critical patient information.
Business Intelligence as a Service: Costs, Architecture, and Use Cases in 2026
Data Science
Business Intelligence as a Service (BIaaS) is transforming how organizations in the U.S. and Canada access analytics. Instead of building analytics infrastructure from scratch, companies subscribe to managed platforms that combine cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, and AI capabilities.
