Core services

Where most engagements start

Four fixed-shape engagements. The full service catalogue covers cloud, development, AI and infrastructure in depth.

Examples

How an engagement could work

The scenarios below are illustrative examples, not customer case studies. Scope, findings and outcomes depend on the evidence available in each engagement.

Illustrative scenario

An investor needs a decision before signing

An investor needs to know whether a software platform can support its commercial plan. Cloudthunder examines the platform’s architecture, code, security and team. The findings could support a proceed, proceed-with-conditions or do-not-proceed decision.

Technical Due Diligence →

Illustrative scenario

Cloud spending is rising faster than the business

A European SaaS company has growing infrastructure costs and no clear view of which workloads create value. Cloudthunder reviews billing data, utilization, architecture and commitments. The review could identify a defensible savings range, and the changes that would be unsafe to make.

FinOps & Cost Optimization →

Illustrative scenario

The board wants AI, compliance wants answers

Leadership is being asked for an AI plan while regulation tightens. Cloudthunder assesses data readiness, security constraints and processes, and maps the EU AI Act obligations. The assessment could produce a prioritized set of use cases and the governance needed to run them.

AI Readiness & Strategy →

Illustrative scenario

A product idea needs to reach the market

A company needs a first version of its product before the window closes. Cloudthunder designs the architecture first, then a fixed-scope build could take the product to its first users, with scope and dates agreed before work begins.
