Services / Cloud and modernisation

A technology foundation your business can rely on.

We improve the infrastructure and applications your business depends on, with a focus on reliability, security, maintainability and room to grow.

The challenge

When technology starts holding you back

Ageing systems tend to fail at the worst moment.

  • Servers or applications that few people understand and nobody wants to touch.
  • Releases done by hand, which are slow and risky.
  • Backups that nobody has ever tested by restoring.
  • Systems that struggle as users, data or branches grow.

What we deliver

What Medici Labs delivers

Cloud architecture, migration and deployment

A cloud design that fits your workloads and budget, with a planned, tested move and a rollback option.

Managed cloud environments and infrastructure support

Day-to-day care of your environments, covering updates, access, monitoring and issue resolution, as agreed.

Application and legacy-system modernisation

Staged improvement of ageing applications so they become easier to maintain, deploy and extend.

DevOps, CI/CD and deployment automation

Repeatable, tested releases that replace manual deployments and reduce release-day risk.

Performance, resilience, backup and recovery planning

Backups that are tested, recovery steps that are written down, and systems that cope with growth.

Method

Modernise in stages, not in one risky leap

Business-critical systems keep running while they improve.

  • Assessment first. We document what you run, what depends on what, and where the biggest risks sit.
  • Quick safety wins. Tested backups, access clean-up and monitoring often come before any migration.
  • Planned moves. Each stage is tested, with a rollback plan agreed before you switch over.

Use cases

Typical applications

Examples of what organisations in Kenya and across Africa often need.

  • Moving on-premise servers and applications to the cloud
  • Replacing a hard-to-maintain legacy system in stages
  • Setting up reliable, repeatable releases
  • Backup and disaster recovery planning
  • Hosting and supporting business-critical web platforms
  • Preparing infrastructure for growth in users or branches

Our view

Is the cloud always the answer?

Not always. Some workloads suit the cloud well, while others are better kept where they are, or run in a mix of both.

We assess connectivity, cost, data requirements and your team's skills before recommending a direction, and we explain the trade-offs plainly.

Our approach

How an infrastructure project runs

Planned, tested and documented at every stage.

  1. Understand

    Audit your systems, dependencies, costs and risks.

  2. Design

    Agree the target architecture, staging and rollback plan.

  3. Build

    Set up environments and automate deployment.

  4. Validate

    Test performance, failover and recovery before cutover.

  5. Deploy

    Switch over in agreed stages with your team informed.

  6. Support

    Monitor, maintain and review as needs change.

Our work

Relevant work

Illustrative scenario

Modernising a business application. An ageing application is difficult to maintain, deploy or extend. We assess its architecture, map dependencies and modernise in tested stages with rollback plans, aiming for a more maintainable system.

This is an illustrative scenario, not a completed client project. Relevant examples are available on request.
