We host and manage the software we build, plus existing workloads our clients want stabilised. UK data sovereignty, 24/7 monitoring, Cyber Essentials certified. We've been running Plone, Python and Postgres in production for AU and UK governments for 18 years; the patterns are settled.
AWS for production workloads (UK and AU regions). Fly.io for scale-to-zero AI and chatbot workloads. Some Azure and Google Cloud for clients who already have spend commitments there. We support multi-region and dedicated single-tenant deployments where data classification requires it.
