Reviewing previous and future workloads, processes, and expectations at every stage of the cloud journey is a crucial part of every successful transformation. Our reviews share invaluable insights and contributions, ensuring your workloads are optimised, efficient, cost-effective, and future-proofed.
All our reviews provide unbiased reports tailored to your workload and business priorities, as well as following well-architected frameworks to maximise any potential hyper-scaler funding opportunities.
Our Delivery services are focused around capability and mindset.
Whatever your delivery challenges are, whether you need to quickly resolve immediate, well-defined problems or you require engineering resources and expertise to tackle larger, less-defined projects or simply need to bridge platform engineering and SRE capabilities to support the smooth operation and development of applications, our Delivery services can help you.
It is crucial to plan up front for any transformational project. We will help you explore a variety of potential cloud adoption scenarios, ensuring you choose the right solution to fit your strategy. We can also highlight potential pitfalls or antipatterns up front to mitigate wasted time and resources.
A transformation fits into a subset of solutions. We split these solutions at a high level into Migrations and Modernisations. The decision phase will help you understand which (or which order, if both) fits your business best.
During a two-hour deep dive, our engineers review your current infrastructure state, including a map of applications and services, bill review, and roadmap evaluation, alongside providing internal questionnaires to paint a complete picture.
Our engineers then create a snapshot guide that can include opportunities to reduce spending, quick wins to improve optimisation, a breakdown of critical challenges ahead, urgent fixes, and a detailed plan of attack.
We typically run our HealthCheck service with minimal fixed cost, depending on the size and scale of the current infrastructure and potential future investment.
This speciality review is designed with one goal in mind – cost optimisation. In most cases, this requires less time than a full workshop but more time than a health check. We suggest two days of DOCP engineering time.
As the name suggests, this review assesses your cloud estate from a cost perspective across all layers, including compute, data, storage, security, and networks. We will identify opportunities to optimise and reduce spending while highlighting the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of any proposed changes.
We explore a variety of potential cost savings, including rightsizing, savings plans or reserved instances, storage type, and even cloud-specific optimisations (both software and hardware). We also take a big-picture view to understand the implications of cost savings in both the short term and over a longer time period.
Our workshops are segmented into three areas:
Understanding, Discovery, and Recommendations.
For most businesses, this workshop requires five days of our DOCP engineering time. Starting with an on-site day involving technical and commercial stakeholders, we dive deep into the current state, business goals, team expectations, roadmap, and recent challenges and gain read-only access to map the overall infrastructure.
Once we have completed the on-site, we continue to deep-dive into the current capabilities, including (but not limited to) the state of infrastructure, application and configuration practices, governance, stability, and security to ensure we understand the full picture before making recommendations.
We then move into the discovery phase, during which our senior engineering team thoroughly reviews the understanding phase to identify key areas for improvement or change. This is where we’ll create multiple solution tracks to align with the business goals (cloud agnostic, Serverless, reliability, etc.) and outline a long-term strategic plan.
Finally, we move into the recommendation phase. We will present a range of solutions with transparent costs and timelines. These recommendations are entirely tailored to the business goals and designed to offer a next step at every cost level, including without us. All recommendations follow a ‘well architected’ process and can be tailored to your business priorities.
Completing the above gives us the time and access to make accurate recommendations and design solutions to progress the business infrastructure and, ideally, reduce overall cloud spending while improving optimisation and security.
Our rapid response offering is designed to take a well-defined problem and provide the relevant resources to resolve it. In addition, it will provide any next steps necessary to continue on route to deliver a good outcome.
Rapid response is designed to solve immediate challenges with skilled engineers within 3 months. The problem would have a defined outcome or a state to be achieved. This could be – for example – “fix a pipeline”, “implement x, y and z” or “support a process through to completion”.
Due to its short duration, the rapid response solution can be used as a proof of concept phase for a much bigger body of work. If a rapid response engagement could creep in scope, then you may benefit from a workshop to flesh out the details of the project.
The TaaS solution fulfils a larger project, requiring more engineering capability and over a more extended period than a rapid response. This may even be a project that has not yet been fully scoped out, in which case we can help build the backlog.
We expect TaaS to involve a minimum of three people in the Ten10 team, and at this level, we can offer a hybrid solution alongside our Academy.
Our Team as a Service solution can be split into two core disciplines – Platform & SRE. Considering the crossover in underlying principles, there are a set of skills, technologies and processes that underpin either of these products:
With a focus on empowering developers and alleviating cognitive load, we would expect this team to be heavily involved in building and maintaining:
With a focus on the smooth running of applications, we would expect this team to be more involved in:

During the decision phase of a transformation, we generally consider:
A transformation fits into a subset of solutions. We split these solutions at a high level into Migrations and Modernisations. The decision phase will help you understand which (or which order, if both) fits your business best.
Often called “lift & shift” or “rehost”, a migration involves moving some or all of your existing application ‘as-is’ into the cloud. Key benefits to this solution are:
Migrating to the cloud does not always mean migrating everything to the cloud, and there are certainly application requirements where the cloud is not the best fit. Our Cloud Migration solution caters for any mix of on-prem -> cloud or cloud -> cloud requirements. We also cover all aspects of the migration, including data, compute, storage and networking.
Common terms given to a modernisation are “replatform” or “re-architect”. At this stage, you probably have some or all of your applications already running in the cloud, and you want to introduce some optimisations to operate more efficiently – reducing costs and improving performance or stability. Ultimately, you want to take full advantage of the capabilities of the cloud.
Common modernisation use cases include:
We will provide the relevant resources and expertise to help through each stage of the modernisation process. There is a clear technical side to this, where we help to make the most of the cloud offerings whilst avoiding potential pitfalls. There is also a process side to this, where changes in the Software Delivery Lifecycle are required. We will help you to build or adapt your DevOps methodologies to fit your new cloud-native workload, keeping the TCO to a minimum.
Automation is key to DevOps and with the advent of AI for code generation, self-healing and observability, you can massively increase your software delivery process. Being able to understand the various stages of the software lifecycle and intelligently automate each part to ensure changes get to your customers in a repeatable, consistent and timely manner. Through the use of infrastructure as code, configuration management, pipelines, software development and AI, we are able to wrangle even the most stubborn of applications into a DevOps-style release process, freeing you up to worry less and focus on your customer needs.
