Design and deploy the environment behind your software. Connect its data and AI services, or migrate a workload to AWS or Azure, with a clear plan for how it will run.
Assess the system you run today, plan the agreed change and focus improvements on the workload that matters.
Current-state application review
Migration or modernization plan
Performance, configuration and cost review
From technical components to a useful business application.
Infrastructure has a purpose. It should give the application the data, services and operating boundaries it needs.
Company knowledge search
An internal knowledge application connects approved documents to a retrieval layer, an application and a model service. Your team defines who can access the information and where the workload will run.
A scoped deployment brings those components together, checks the agreed release and data paths, and records configuration and operating responsibilities.
Approved information sources
Application and model connections
A defined account and access model

Application migration
Review the current workload and its dependencies before planning a move to the agreed AWS or Azure environment.
Data connections and pipelines
Bring business sources into a defined processing pipeline, with access and exception handling established before release.
AWS or Azure. Your application sets the direction.
The platform choice follows the environment you already run, where your data sits and what the application needs. We explain the recommendation and scope the services around it.
Amazon Web Services
Design and deploy in an agreed AWS account, with the application services, data connections and access required for the workload.
Microsoft Azure
Design and deploy in an agreed Azure environment, with application, data and AI services connected to the way your organization works.
Architecture starts with the workload, data, access and operating model. Account ownership and ongoing responsibilities are agreed separately from the platform choice.
A clear route from requirement to handover.
The outputs follow the work commissioned. An assessment can stand alone; a scoped implementation carries the agreed environment through release and handover.
Assess & define
Understand the workload, dependencies and constraints. Record findings and agree the work to be done.
Current-state review and recommendations
Design & implement
Set out the architecture and deployment approach. Build, connect or migrate the components included in the proposal.
Environment plan and scoped implementation
Validate & hand over
Check the agreed release and data paths. Record configuration, access, operating roles and the next actions.
Release checks and a handover record
Discovery establishes the fit. Further investigation is a separately scoped, paid engagement where needed. The proposal separates implementation, infrastructure usage and optional support.
The right deployment arrangement depends on your application and how your team wants to operate it. We agree account access, data handling and responsibilities before deployment.
Ready for handover
Your cloud account
Your organization owns the AWS or Azure account and its usage charges. Kastling works with the access required for the agreed delivery.
Kastling-hosted infrastructure
The application runs in Kastling’s accounts, with usage billed on a pay-as-you-go basis and account administration defined in the proposal.
Ongoing operation
Monitoring, backups, updates and incident response are included only where explicitly scoped. Hosting and ongoing support are separate decisions.
Questions before we start.
Can we commission infrastructure without an automation project?
Yes. Cloud architecture, AI application deployment, data connections and the migration of agreed workloads can be commissioned independently, or as the foundation for a wider project.
What do you need to assess an existing environment?
The workload, architecture, dependencies, access constraints and the reason for changing it. We agree the review scope and the information needed before access is provided.
What drives the ongoing cost of an AI application?
Model usage, data volumes, storage and the services the application depends on. These operating costs are considered separately from the implementation and any maintenance agreement.
Check the foundations before you build.
Review the infrastructure, ownership and operating requirements your workload will need.
