CI/CD in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, with quality gates, security scanning and repeatable releases.
Cloud, DevOps and software engineering that ships.
A software consultancy that designs, builds and automates cloud platforms and the delivery pipelines behind them.
What is Lightcurve?
Lightcurve is a small engineering practice that builds new cloud platforms and improves existing ones, for product and platform teams.
Evidence-led
Decisions are grounded in measurements: prototypes, load tests and telemetry, not guesswork.
Automated by default
Every change flows through a pipeline with quality gates, security scanning and repeatable releases.
Built to hand over
Documentation, runbooks and standards your team can keep using after the engagement ends.
Services
End-to-end, from first commit to production.
Automate
stages: - stage: build - stage: test - stage: scan # quality gate - stage: deploy # uat → prodCloud
Azure and AWS architecture, infrastructure as code, and zero-trust identity and access.
Develop
Web applications, APIs and integrations, built with tests and code review.
Build
Containerised platforms, from Compose and Swarm to managed container services.
Optimise
Load testing, Prometheus and Grafana observability, and cost and performance tuning.
Innovate
Technical leadership for new products: architecture decisions, delivery planning and agile practice that teams keep using.
Approach
A clear path from problem to production.
Discover
Understand your goals, constraints and current platform before proposing anything.
Design
Agree an architecture and delivery plan with documented trade-offs and standards.
Deliver
Build iteratively, with automated pipelines and regular demos so progress is visible.
Hand over
Leave documentation, runbooks and a team that can run it without us.
