Google Cloud Services Across The Whole Life Of Your Platform
Easy To Adopt, Hard To Operate
Getting onto Google Cloud is the part with a project plan behind it. What follows has none: the environments that multiply, the permissions granted in a hurry, the pipeline only one person can debug, the bill that grows faster than the traffic. That is where most of the real work lives, and it is rarely what anyone budgets for.
why choose ecomia
Why teams bring us in
Nobody calls asking for a landing zone. They call because a migration stalled, because an auditor asked a question nobody could answer, or because finance wants to know why the bill went up again. Those are all the same problem seen from different seats, and they are almost always fixable.
One team from migration to steady state
The people who move your workloads are the people who run them afterward. Nobody inherits an estate cold and rebuilds their understanding of it at your expense.
Cost and access designed in
Labels, budgets and least-privilege IAM from the first project rather than retrofitted after an audit or an invoice. Both get much harder to add later.
Managed services chosen on fit
The simplest service that does the job, with the reasoning written down so the next person understands why. Complexity you did not choose is the expensive kind.
Measured, not asserted
Performance, spend and security posture benchmarked before and after, with the numbers shown. Improvement nobody can evidence is just a claim.
Services
The full range of Google Cloud work
Some of these are projects with an end date and some are ongoing. Most engagements combine several, and you do not need to know which one you need before getting in touch.
StratoZone assessment before anything moves, then migration with Migrate for Compute Engine, containerization, or a re-architecture where lifting and shifting would only relocate the problem.
Folder and project hierarchy, organization policies, billing accounts and shared services set up so environments and teams have somewhere sensible to attach permissions and cost.
Google Kubernetes Engine clusters with node pools, autoscaling, networking and upgrade paths designed to be operated by your team rather than admired by it.
Stateless services and event-driven workloads on Cloud Run and Cloud Functions, which for a large share of applications removes an entire operational layer at no cost in capability.
BigQuery warehouses with partitioning and clustering that keep the cost model sane, streaming and batch pipelines through Dataflow and Pub/Sub, and reporting surfaced in Looker.
Cloud SQL, Spanner, Bigtable and Cloud Storage chosen against the access pattern rather than habit, with schema design, indexing and lifecycle rules to match.
Model training, deployment and monitoring on Vertex AI, with the data pipelines and access controls underneath treated as part of the work rather than someone else's problem.
VPC design, Cloud Load Balancing, Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor and Dedicated Interconnect, arranged so traffic reaches the right place and stops where it should.
IAM structured around groups and organization policies, Security Command Center, VPC Service Controls and Identity-Aware Proxy, set up so posture is something you can evidence.
Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy and Artifact Registry with artifact promotion between environments, so what reaches production is the thing that was tested.
Terraform in version control, reviewed like code and reproducible from an empty project, including importing estates that were built by hand into managed state.
Cloud Operations Suite for logging, metrics and alerting, plus rightsizing, committed use discounts and the attribution work that makes a bill readable by whoever pays it.
Built Around Your Needs
Three ways to work
with our Google Cloud team
Dedicated teams
Want a team that stays with the platform?
A dedicated Google Cloud team that knows your project structure, your integrations and your quirks, covering reliability, cost and access as the estate grows. Best suited to platforms that keep changing rather than sitting still.
Software outsourcing
Want a defined piece of work delivered?
We scope, build and hand it over with the Terraform, documentation and runbooks your team needs to operate it. Suited to a migration, a data platform or a security remediation with a clear beginning and end.
Staff Augmentation
Need cloud capacity inside your own team?
Our engineers join your repository, your review process and your on-call rotation for a defined period. Suited to teams who own the direction and need hands or a specific skill for a while.
Frequently Asked Questions
Scope and unknowns, far more than the size of the estate. A greenfield build with clear requirements is predictable. Costs climb with undocumented systems, compliance requirements that appear late, data that has to move without downtime, and any environment where nobody can say confidently what is currently running or who owns it. The cheapest thing you can do before asking for a quote is write down what must keep working during the change.
The technical move is rarely the slow part. Decisions, access and dependency untangling are. A handful of stateless services with a clear owner moves quickly. The same project waiting on security review, a database nobody wants to touch and a vendor who controls one integration takes considerably longer for reasons that have nothing to do with the cloud. We plan around that rather than pretending it will not happen.
At minimum: monitoring and alerting with someone responsible for responding, patching and upgrade cycles for the platform components, cost review on a regular cadence, access reviews, and a report of what changed. Beyond that it varies, and the questions worth asking are how incidents are raised, what response looks like outside business hours, and whether small changes are included or billed separately.
You do, and it should stay that way. The organization, the projects and the billing account belong to your company, and we work inside them with the access the work requires. An arrangement where a supplier holds the account is one where leaving is difficult by design, and that is worth noticing before you sign rather than after.
We work with what you have in most cases. Restructuring gets recommended when the current layout is the actual constraint, which usually shows up as permissions that cannot be scoped properly, costs that cannot be attributed to anything, or environments sharing a project so nothing can be isolated. That is a specific finding we would show you, not a default recommendation.
With an audit before any changes. What is running and in which projects, who has access and at what level, what the current spend looks like broken down by service and owner, whether anything is defined in code, and what the backup and recovery position actually is. That usually surfaces two or three things worth fixing immediately and a longer list worth planning properly.
Both, and they are harder to separate on Google Cloud than elsewhere. BigQuery, Dataflow and Vertex AI are where a lot of the value sits, and they carry infrastructure concerns of their own around cost, access and pipeline reliability. A team that handles the platform but hands the data work to someone else tends to leave the expensive decisions unowned.
Routine requests go into a queue with an agreed turnaround so small things do not accumulate. Anything affecting availability or data is treated as an incident and picked up outside that queue, with an agreed path for who is contacted and when. What matters is settling which is which at the start, because a definition of urgent written during an outage satisfies nobody.
Yes, and on cloud work it is usually the arrangement that lasts. We work in your repository and your review process, with responsibility for on-call, cost ownership and access approvals agreed up front. Cloud estates with two teams and no agreement on who owns what are where the expensive surprises collect.
