About Cloud Recipe

We spent years keeping planet-scale systems alive. Now we build for the missions that matter.

Founding story

From hundreds of millions of users to the systems closest to home.

Cloud Recipe was founded by Abdo Mansour, a senior cloud engineer with 220+ delivered engagements across cloud migration, SRE, and platform engineering. Behind the firm stands a network of ex-FAANG senior engineers — people who built and operated infrastructure serving hundreds of millions of users — who join engagements as their scale demands. They learned the discipline the hard way: carrying the pager, running the incident reviews, and finding out what actually keeps large systems reliable, secure, and affordable. We started this firm because the organizations that need that discipline most — enterprises mid-migration, agencies running decades-old platforms — rarely get access to it. Every "recipe" we deliver is a pattern we've already seen work under real load, real attacks, and real audits.

The name

A recipe is knowledge made repeatable: tested steps, exact measures, predictable results. That's how we believe cloud systems should be built — and it's the opposite of improvising on a client's production environment.

Values

What we optimize for

Reliability over novelty

We choose the proven pattern over the fashionable one. Your production system is not the place to try something for the first time.

Security by default

Threat modeling before design, least privilege everywhere, and pipelines where the secure path is the easy path.

Measurable outcomes

Every engagement is scoped to numbers we can show you: latency, cost, compliance coverage, accessibility conformance.

Work with engineers who've seen scale.
