Azure Cloud Application Development

We build secure, scalable applications on Microsoft Azure and set up infrastructure, monitoring and costs so they stay under control.

Microsoft Azure is our most frequently used cloud platform, particularly for .NET applications and for organisations already using Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. It offers managed services for almost every layer of a modern application, which lets us spend time on your features rather than on servers.

What we build and run on Azure

• Web applications and APIs on App Service or Azure Container Apps
• Relational data on Azure SQL Database or Azure Database for PostgreSQL
• Event-driven integrations with Azure Functions and Service Bus
• AI features with Azure OpenAI Service, keeping data within your Azure tenancy
• Single sign-on for staff using Microsoft Entra ID

How we work

• Infrastructure as code – repeatable environments defined in Bicep or Terraform.
• Security first – managed identities, Key Vault for secrets, private networking where needed.
• Observability – Application Insights dashboards and alerts from day one.
• Cost control – right-sized tiers, autoscaling rules and budget alerts.

When Azure is the right choice

Azure is an excellent fit if you run .NET workloads, rely on Microsoft identity, or want enterprise AI services under your existing agreements. If your organisation is already standardised on AWS, we are happy to build there instead; the architecture principles are the same. Our cloud application development service covers migrations, new builds and ongoing optimisation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

• Can you migrate our on-premises application to Azure?

  Yes. We assess the application, then choose between a lift-and-shift to virtual machines, a move to managed services such as App Service and Azure SQL, or gradual modernisation. Most clients benefit from a staged approach.

• How do you keep Azure costs under control?

  We right-size service tiers, use autoscaling and reserved capacity where it makes sense, turn off unused environments, and set budget alerts so there are no surprises on the monthly bill.
