Infrastructure Architecture
Compute, networking, storage and identity designed together, so the estate has a shape rather than an accumulation.
Infrastructure Engineering
Infrastructure defined in code, reproducible, and recoverable on purpose.
Overview
Infrastructure assembled by hand is infrastructure nobody can rebuild. Nextherrion builds it as code — versioned, reviewable and reproducible — so environments match, changes are auditable, and recovery is an operation you have practised rather than a document you hope is current.
Architecture, infrastructure as code, containers and orchestration, availability and recovery engineering.
Infrastructure as Code
Everything defined in version control, reviewed like application code, so environments can be rebuilt rather than restored from memory.
Containers
Containerized workloads with images, registries and build pipelines treated as part of the supply chain they are.
WHAT WE DO
Infrastructure Services We Offer
Orchestration
Kubernetes and equivalents where the estate justifies them, configured for the team that will operate it rather than for a reference architecture.
Serverless Infrastructure
Event-driven infrastructure for workloads that suit it, avoiding servers maintained purely to wait for something to happen.
High Availability
Redundancy at the levels that matter, with failover tested rather than assumed — most HA failures are failures of the failover itself.
Disaster Recovery
Recovery objectives agreed with the business, then engineered and rehearsed, so recovery time is measured rather than estimated.
Environment Consistency
Development, staging and production built from the same definitions, so staging stops being a place where bugs hide.
OUTCOMES
What Coded Infrastructure Changes
- Environments that can be rebuilt
- Changes reviewed before they land
- Staging that matches production
- Recovery that has been rehearsed
- Less configuration drift
- Knowledge in the repo, not in someone's head
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why infrastructure as code?
Because hand-built infrastructure cannot be rebuilt reliably, and the knowledge of how it was assembled leaves when the person does.
Can we adopt it on an existing estate?
Yes, incrementally — usually by importing what exists and taking ownership component by component rather than rebuilding everything at once.
Do we need Kubernetes?
Only if the estate justifies the operational cost. Plenty of businesses are better served by simpler compute, and we will say so.
How do we know recovery works?
By doing it. Untested recovery is a plan, not a capability, and the gap between the two is usually discovered at the worst moment.
Who operates this afterwards?
Ideally your team, which is why handover and documentation are part of the build. Managed service is available where you would rather not.
How do we stop environments drifting apart?
By building them from the same definitions and making manual change the exception that gets noticed rather than the norm.
TECHNOLOGY
Built on Industry Leading Technology
AI and Generative AI, agent frameworks, cloud platforms, data tooling and modern application stacks — chosen per problem rather than per preference.
