Production-ready infrastructure on AWS or Azure. Deployed in weeks.
LaunchPad is a secure, compliant foundation on AWS or Microsoft Azure, built to scale and yours to own: the infrastructure your team would build with six months and a team of FAANG-level architects, ready in weeks.
Infrastructure built fast becomes infrastructure rebuilt later
Almost every growing company follows the same path.
1. It starts with speed
Developers spin up just enough infrastructure to ship. There’s no central plan.
2. Growth creates sprawl
Infrastructure grows organically, and every team does it its own way.
3. Scale reveals the cracks
Systems become bloated, fragmented and insecure, and technical debt compounds.
4. Firefighting begins
Infrastructure engineers arrive, but urgent issues take all their time.
5. The trap closes
There’s no time or budget to rebuild, so fixes are incremental while new issues keep coming.
6. The bill comes due
Security gaps, unreliable systems, wasted spend, and an emergency rebuild right before a sale, a merger or an audit. We regularly see companies spend $1 million or more on that rebuild.
Start with the foundation you'll never have to rebuild
LaunchPad breaks the cycle before it starts:
- The right architecture from day one, so you scale without rewriting.
- Compliance and security built in, so audits and customer questionnaires don’t derail the roadmap.
- Complete automation, so your team ships product, not configuration files.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Organization and governance
Production isolated from development. Teams work independently. Policies are enforced automatically, not by tribal knowledge.
Enterprise networking
A network that scales, with security built into the network layer and routing designed to keep costs down.
Identity and access
One login for every account, role-based access that makes sense, and the identity provider you already use, such as Microsoft Entra ID, Google or Okta.
Security and threat detection
Security that works without constant attention: threats and misconfigurations caught automatically, encryption required rather than recommended.
Backup and recovery
Data protection matched to your compliance needs, so nothing critical falls through the cracks.
Cost visibility and control
No surprise bills: alerts at meaningful budget thresholds, and waste minimized by design.
Compliance ready
Evidence ready when auditors or acquirers ask: audit trails, configuration history and continuous compliance scoring from day one. HIPAA-ready controls, and controls that support your SOC 2 readiness, built in rather than retrofitted, with your own encryption keys and backups locked against deletion.
Fully automated and transparent
Everything in Terraform, in your repository, fully documented. Reproducible and maintainable by your own team: no black boxes, no lock-in.
Add what you need
Every LaunchPad starts with the foundation above. Add the modules you need, on AWS or Azure, each a fixed fee, quoted after a short scoping call.
Security review and documentation
When your customers want proof of a secure platform, hand it to them. A Techtura security reviewer documents your foundation against the compliance framework you need, for you to share with your own customers. Prefer an independent third-party review? It’s available on request.
Firewall and client VPN
Traffic in and out of your environment passes through firewalls that enforce your rules, and your team reaches internal systems over a secure client VPN, from wherever they work. We install and configure both in your environment, documented with the rest of your foundation. You license the firewalls directly, so they stay yours.
Second region and disaster recovery
If a region goes down, you keep going: your foundation in a second region, backups copied there, recovery targets written down and a restore drill to prove them.
Container platform
A production Kubernetes platform for your applications, ready from day one: autoscaling, ingress and certificates handled, and Argo CD deploying your applications straight from Git, the way we run our own.
Deployment pipeline
Changes reach production through a pipeline, and every infrastructure change is reviewed and approved before it applies. The pipeline reaches your accounts without stored keys, and your first application’s pipeline becomes the pattern for the rest.
Workload migration
What you run today, moved onto your new foundation in planned stages, so you don’t carry the old problems across. That includes bringing an acquired company’s systems onto your foundation.
The infrastructure your team would build, delivered in weeks
Weeks
to deploy LaunchPad, against 6–12 months to build it properly yourself
About 10x
what compliance costs to retrofit later, compared with building it in
5–10x
more spent by companies that wait until fixing their infrastructure is urgent
Build it yourself, or start with LaunchPad
Building it yourself
- 6–12 months to build properly
- Months of senior engineering time
- Trial and error on architecture
- Compliance retrofitted later, at about 10x the cost
- Your engineers learn cloud plumbing
LaunchPad
- Deployed in weeks
- A fixed fee, quoted after a short scoping call
- Proven patterns from day one
- Compliance built in
- Your engineers ship product
Built for companies that can't afford to get infrastructure wrong
LaunchPad fits if any of these is true:
- Infrastructure is becoming a bottleneck.
- Compliance requirements are coming: HIPAA, SOC 2 or a customer’s security review.
- A fundraise or acquisition is on the horizon.
- Your engineers spend time on infrastructure instead of product.
- You’re not confident your current setup would survive due diligence.
Startups and scale-ups get a foundation that grows with them from first product to IPO. Established companies whose infrastructure grew organically get a clean, governed baseline to move onto, without rebuilding from scratch, and we can move your workloads across for you.
You own it
Everything is Terraform in your own repository, documented so your team can run it. After deployment, you choose: run it yourselves, or keep Techtura involved for reviews, extensions and new accounts. Want us to run it day to day? Ongoing cloud operations are available under a separate operations contract.
Why Techtura
FAANG-level engineers on every engagement
Senior engineers, not a labor factory: the people who design your foundation build it.
Proven at scale
Our FAANG-level engineers have built and run infrastructure for the largest tech companies, global banks, streaming platforms, healthcare providers, managed service and internet providers, and UK and US government departments. Fortune 100 companies among them.
Big-tech standards, sized for you
The standards and automation that let the largest tech companies run huge estates with small teams, sized for your organization.
How you buy it
LaunchPad is a fixed fee, quoted after a short scoping call. Each add-on has its own fixed fee. Ongoing cloud operations, if you want them, are a separate operations contract.

Questions founders and technology leaders ask
What does LaunchPad include?
A production-ready foundation on AWS or Microsoft Azure: organization and governance, enterprise networking, identity and access, security and threat detection, backup and recovery, cost visibility, compliance readiness, and all of it automated in Terraform.
How long does it take?
Weeks. Building the same foundation properly in-house takes 6–12 months.
Will it get us through a SOC 2 or HIPAA audit?
It gets you ready for one. LaunchPad’s controls support your SOC 2 and HIPAA readiness, and the evidence auditors ask for is there from day one: audit trails, configuration history and continuous compliance scoring.
Who owns it?
You do. Everything is Terraform in your own repository, fully documented, with no black boxes and no lock-in.
We already run on AWS or Azure. Is it too late?
No. Companies whose infrastructure grew organically get a clean, governed baseline to move onto, without rebuilding from scratch, and we can move your workloads across for you.
What happens after deployment?
You choose. Run it yourselves, keep us involved for reviews, extensions and new accounts, or have us run it day to day under a separate operations contract.
