Enterprise cloud, engineered by people who've built it at planet scale.
Cloud Recipe is a founder-led practice backed by a network of ex-FAANG senior engineers who spent years running systems for hundreds of millions of users, scaling in for large engagements. We bring that discipline to AWS architecture, government digital modernization, and enterprise applications — no experiments on your dime, only patterns proven at scale.
Great systems, like great recipes, aren't improvised. Ours has four steps.
RECIPE Nº 001 — Enterprise ModernizationYIELD: A SYSTEM YOUR MISSION CAN RUN ON
AssessInventory the legacy estate: architecture, dependencies, security posture, cost, and accessibility gaps. Everything measured before anything moves.
ArchitectDesign the target platform from proven patterns — landing zones, network topology, identity, compliance controls — reviewed against NIST and Well-Architected standards.
BuildShip in phases with infrastructure as code, automated pipelines, and zero-downtime cutovers. Every change reviewable, every environment reproducible.
OperateInstrument, harden, and hand over: observability, runbooks, cost accountability, and the SRE practices to keep it healthy long after launch.
Why ex-FAANG matters
Not a name-drop. A different default.
Engineers who've carried a pager for systems serving hundreds of millions of users develop habits that are hard to learn anywhere else: SRE culture that treats reliability as a feature, security-first engineering baked into design rather than bolted on, and architectures that survive real scale and real failure. Our founder-led model brings those defaults to every engagement — with ex-FAANG network engineers scaling in for large contracts — whether the client is a Fortune 500 platform team or a state agency replacing a twenty-year-old portal.
What that looks like in practice
Error budgets and SLOs, not vague uptime promises
Threat modeling before the first line of code
Infrastructure that is reviewed, versioned, and reproducible
Postmortems without blame, improvements without drama
Client feedback
What clients say.
Verbatim feedback from clients of past engagements led by our founder.
Abdo’s expertise as a cloud engineer is unmatched. He successfully migrated our systems from an outdated dedicated server to AWS. Over the years he has helped us enhance our security, optimize our infrastructure efficiency, and implement robust CI pipelines. His technical knowledge is second to none, and his ability to tailor solutions to our needs has been transformative for our business. […] I’m already planning to work with Abdo again in the near future. I highly recommend him to any business seeking an exceptional cloud engineer.
