DevOps, cloud and software consultancy in Athens
LL Cloud builds and runs infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure and Kubernetes, writes the software that runs on it, and acts as your CTO until you have one. We work with startups and scale-ups in Greece and across the EU.
We reply within 24 hours, in English or Greek.
Teams we work with
If one of these sounds familiar, we have handled it before.
We take over operations, write down what lived in their head, and help you hire the replacement.
We trace every large line item to a service and an owner, then cut what isn't earning its keep.
We build pipelines that ship the same artifact to staging and production in minutes, with rollbacks that work.
We close the gaps in IAM, logging and data residency, and make the audit trail part of the platform.
We make the architecture, vendor and hiring calls with you, so early decisions don't become expensive rewrites.
We set up metrics, logs and alerts that point at the user-facing problem, plus runbooks and an on-call rotation.
Most clients start with the audit. Some go straight to a build. We quote each engagement on its scope, so email us a few lines and we'll come back with a proposal.
One week, fixed scope
We go through your cloud accounts, repositories, pipelines, on-call setup and last quarter's incidents. We score security, cost, infrastructure as code, observability and recovery. On Friday you get one page: what's red, what's amber, and what we'd fix first.
Good fit if you inherited a setup, are about to raise or scale, or want a second opinion before a big decision.
Part-time, monthly
A senior technical lead for companies that don't have one yet, or are between hires. We own the technical roadmap, review architecture before big decisions, choose cloud providers and vendors, help you hire engineers, and answer technical questions from investors and customers.
Good fit if you're a founder without a technical co-founder, or your team has outgrown its first engineers but a full-time CTO isn't the right move yet.
Project, 1 to 6 months
Cloud foundations on AWS, GCP or Azure, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, migrations off legacy hosting, and the application code that runs on them in Go, Node.js and Python. Everything lives in Terraform and is documented and handed over to your team.
Good fit if you're starting from scratch, leaving a hosting setup you've outgrown, or need a product built and shipped.
Monthly retainer
We operate production with you: monitoring, alerts that mean something, a 24/7 on-call rotation with response in under 15 minutes, patching and regular cost reviews. Backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Good fit if you have no one in-house for operations, or your ops team needs a second line at night and on weekends.
The same small team designs the platform, writes the code and carries the pager, so nothing gets lost between build and run.
Multi-account foundations on AWS, GCP and Azure, built in Terraform and set up for GDPR from the start. Greenfield or migrating off a legacy setup.
AWS Organizations, VPC and networking, Terraform, Pulumi
Pipelines that run in minutes. One artifact promoted from staging to production, and feature flags instead of long-lived branches.
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo CD, Flux
Production EKS, GKE and AKS with ingress, autoscaling, observability and image policy solved, plus self-service deploys for your developers.
Karpenter, network policies, pod security, golden paths
APIs, backends, event systems and web applications. We still ship application code, so the platform we hand you is one we'd deploy our own services to.
Go, Node.js, Python, React, PostgreSQL
Least-privilege IAM, no long-lived keys, encryption everywhere and org-wide guardrails. Evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR comes from the system itself.
SCPs, Identity Center, GuardDuty, Security Hub, EU data residency
Golden-signal metrics, alerts on user-visible problems, documented SLOs, and runbooks that exist before the incident, not after.
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Datadog
You'll know the scope, the timeline and the price before any work starts.
A few lines on what you run today and what's bothering you. We reply within 24 hours.
We ask about your stack, team and deadlines. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you elsewhere.
Usually the one-week audit. Then a written proposal with deliverables, timeline and price.
Short sprints with regular check-ins. Code, Terraform and runbooks are yours, documented so your team can run them without us.
The infrastructure LL Cloud built handles millions of requests daily with remarkable reliability. Their team operates as a true extension of ours — responsive, proactive and technically excellent.
LL Cloud transformed our deployment pipeline and reduced our release cycle from weeks to hours. Their deep understanding of security requirements in our industry made them the ideal partner for our infrastructure.
LL Cloud helped us architect a monitoring platform that scales with our growth. Their pragmatic approach to DevOps and clear communication made the entire process seamless from day one.

We act as your senior technical lead for part of the week. That usually means owning the technical roadmap, reviewing architecture before big decisions, choosing cloud providers and vendors, helping you hire engineers, and answering technical questions from investors and customers.
It depends on scope, so we quote each engagement. Email [email protected] with a few lines about your setup and what you need, and we'll reply within 24 hours. The audit is fixed in scope, so you know the cost before we start.
Yes. Most engagements start with an audit of what's already there, and we build the roadmap around your current stack. We work alongside your engineers and document everything so your team can run it without us.
Yes. We work remotely with teams across the EU. Athens is one hour ahead of Central European Time, so our working day overlaps fully with most of Europe. We work in English and Greek, and default to EU regions for data residency.
Both. We build APIs, backends and web applications in Go, Node.js, Python and React, and deploy them on infrastructure we build and run.
You get the code, the Terraform, the runbooks and a handover session. Many clients keep us on a Run & support retainer for on-call and ongoing operations; others take it fully in-house.
Startups, scale-ups and established companies in cybersecurity, logistics, fintech and SaaS, from 5-person teams to 500-person organisations.
AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, Pulumi, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo CD, Prometheus, Grafana and Datadog, plus Go, Node.js, Python and React for application work. We pick what fits the project.
Where the seniors are, salary bands, red flags in job descriptions, and when a partner beats a hire.
It's not the hourly fee. It's the per-GB charge on traffic that never needed to leave the VPC.
Mutable tags break rollbacks and turn outages into archaeology. Pin digests instead.
A few lines are enough: what you run today, what's bothering you, and any deadline.
