Why StackHost

Most cloud projects stall.
Here's why ours don't.

Businesses across East Africa are sitting on bloated cloud bills, stalled migrations, and infrastructure nobody owns. StackHost was built to be the expert pod that closes those gaps "” end to end.

Without StackHost

Your cloud spend grows. Your confidence in it doesn't.

  • Migrations that never finishLift-and-shift projects drag on for months with no clear ownership and constant disruption.
  • Security gaps nobody tracksCloud environments grow faster than security policies "” leaving your infrastructure exposed.
  • Deployments done manuallyWithout CI/CD, every release is a risk. One missed step and production breaks.
  • Cloud bills nobody understandsUntagged resources, idle reserved instances, and over-provisioned servers drain your budget silently.
With StackHost

A pod of cloud-first experts working alongside you "” on every layer.

  • Migrations executed with zero disruptionWe assess, plan, and move your workloads into the cloud "” fully owned by our team from day one.
  • Security built on industry standardsArchitecture and guidance based on platform best practices "” before threats find the gaps.
  • CI/CD pipelines that just workAutomated deployments and release management so your team ships faster with fewer errors.
  • Cloud spend you can defendTagging strategy, billing review, usage analysis, and RI planning "” including servers and databases.

Deep Dives

Cloud Migration & DevOps "”
owned end to end.

Two of the highest-impact services we deliver "” and the ones most organisations struggle to own internally. We take both off your plate completely.

Cloud Migration
Elevate your workloads "” without touching production.
We assess your current environment, plan every step, and execute the migration "” so your team keeps working while we move the infrastructure.
  • Full environment assessment before a single workload moves
  • Lift-and-shift or re-architecture "” we recommend the right approach
  • Infrastructure-as-code templates for every migrated workload
  • Zero disruption to your operations during cutover
Cloud Migration Services

Most Migrations Stall. Ours Don't.

Cloud migration projects fail when nobody owns them end to end. Our pod handles the full journey "” from the initial audit of your current workloads, through infrastructure build-out using repeatable code templates, to go-live with your applications running in their new cloud environment. We plan for disruption so it doesn't happen. We test before we cut over. And we stay on after launch to make sure performance, security, and costs are exactly where they should be.

  • Workload assessment and migration strategy "” delivered first
  • Infrastructure-as-code build-out for every environment
  • Application delivery "” build, release, and go-live support included
  • Security architecture applied at every layer, pre-migration
  • Post-migration cost optimisation "” tagging, billing review, RI planning
DevOps & CI/CD
Automated deployments. No manual releases. No broken builds.
We build your pipelines, manage your deployments, and own the process "” so every release is predictable, fast, and safe.
  • CI/CD pipelines designed for your stack and team
  • Automated deployments from commit to production
  • Load testing and performance optimisation baked in
  • Backup and DR planning integrated into every pipeline
DevOps Services

Ship Faster. Break Less. Own the Process.

Manual deployments are a liability. Every release that requires human steps is a release that can go wrong "” and when it does, recovery takes hours. Our DevOps team designs and operates your CI/CD pipelines so deployments are automated, repeatable, and safe. We build in load testing and performance management so issues surface in staging, not in production. And we integrate backup and disaster recovery planning directly into your release process "” so the unexpected has an answer before it arrives.

  • CI/CD pipeline design, build, and ongoing management
  • Automated deployment "” from code commit to live environment
  • Performance management "” load testing and optimisation
  • DR environment implementation and regular testing
  • Security checks and compliance gates built into every pipeline
How We Work

From first call to
production "” and beyond.

Every engagement follows the same three phases "” so you always know where you stand, what we're doing, and what comes next.

1
Phase One

Assess & Architect

We start with a structured review of your current environment "” infrastructure, applications, security posture, and cloud spend. Then we design the right approach.

  • Environment and workload assessment
  • Migration or build-out strategy defined
  • Security architecture and DR plan scoped
2
Phase Two

Build & Deliver

Our pod builds your infrastructure using code templates, migrates your workloads, sets up CI/CD pipelines, and delivers your applications to production "” with zero disruption.

  • Infrastructure-as-code provisioning
  • Application build, release & go-live
  • DevOps pipelines and automated deployments
3
Phase Three

Optimise & Own

After go-live, we run ongoing performance management, DR testing, and cost optimisation "” covering tagging, billing review, usage analysis, and reserved instance planning.

  • Load testing and performance tuning
  • Regular DR environment testing
  • Billing review and cloud cost optimisation
Who We Serve

Teams that need cloud done properly.

Our pod works alongside engineering teams, IT leaders, and founders across every sector where cloud infrastructure is critical "” and where getting it wrong is not an option.

Financial Services & Fintech

Security architecture, compliant infrastructure, and DR planning are non-negotiable. We build and run cloud environments that meet the standards your auditors expect.

FintechsSACCOsMicrofinance

Healthcare & Health Tech

Patient data, clinical systems, and telehealth platforms demand the highest security posture. We deliver infrastructure-as-code environments built to those standards from day one.

ClinicsTelehealth PlatformsHealth Records

Retail & E-Commerce

Application delivery, CI/CD pipelines, and performance management "” so your platform handles peak traffic, deploys reliably, and never loses a transaction to downtime.

Online StoresMarketplacesPOS Platforms

Software & SaaS Companies

Common Questions

Questions we always get.

It means our pod integrates with your team "” not just hands off a deliverable. We join your Slack or Teams, attend your stand-ups if needed, and own our lanes of the stack. You don't manage us with tickets "” we work the way your engineering team works.

  • Embedded, not outsourced "” We work in your environment, alongside your people.
  • Service ownership "” Each expert owns a discipline end to end, not just a task.
  • Accountability "” One named lead. One point of contact. No handoff confusion.

We start with a full workload assessment before anything moves. Every migration is planned in detail "” dependencies mapped, cutover windows agreed, rollback procedures documented. We test in staging before production. Most migrations complete with zero downtime; where brief windows are required, we schedule them outside business hours and notify all stakeholders in advance.

It covers the full billing picture "” tagging strategy so every resource is attributed correctly, billing review to surface unexpected spend, usage analysis to identify idle or over-provisioned resources, and reserved instance planning for predictable workloads including managed servers and databases. We deliver a written findings report with prioritised actions, and implement the changes ourselves.

Yes. We work across major cloud platforms and CI/CD tools "” GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and others. We design pipelines to fit your existing stack rather than forcing a change, and we document everything so your team can own it over time if needed.

We design your DR environment based on your RTO and RPO requirements, implement it using infrastructure-as-code, and then actually test it "” not just document it. Regular DR drills are scheduled on a cadence we agree with you. When the unexpected happens, recovery is a known, practiced process "” not a scramble.

Our security work is guided by platform best practices (AWS Well-Architected, Azure Security Benchmark, CIS Controls) and relevant industry standards for your sector. We deliver architecture documentation, implement the controls, and integrate security gates into your CI/CD pipeline so every deployment is reviewed against your baseline "” automatically.
