Azure Cloud Solutions

Cloud architecture that grows with you. We design and run Azure systems that handle month-end spikes, move 10 GB files behind your firewall and keep every secret out of your code.

Case study · BlueScope Steel North America

Cloud to on-prem, files up to 10 GB

Vendors couldn’t reach file shares behind BlueScope’s VPN. We built a secure Azure gateway that accepts uploads in the cloud and delivers them inside the network, with an SDK internal apps integrate in three lines of code.

  1. 1

    Upload

    Vendors and apps send files from anywhere.

  2. 2

    Secure API

    ASP.NET Core, protected by OAuth 2.0.

  3. 3

    Blob + queue

    Files land in Blob Storage; a message goes on Service Bus.

  4. 4

    DMZ worker

    A Windows service picks up the job inside the network.

  5. 5

    File server

    Files stream over SMB, with checksums recorded.

Three things every system gets

  1. Scale on demand

    Managed services that grow with month-end spikes and launch days, then scale back so you are not paying for idle servers.

  2. Secure by default

    Secrets in Key Vault, TLS-only traffic, OAuth 2.0 on every endpoint, and payment data that never touches your servers.

  3. Decoupled & resilient

    Queues between every slow step, so a busy worker or a network blip delays a job instead of losing it.

Beyond infrastructure

Cloud workflows that do the work

Not every cloud project needs servers. For Scrub Ducts we connected Twilio, OpenAI, Wix bookings, Gmail and Google Sheets in an n8n workflow that answers texts in seconds, books jobs and logs every decision, with a person approving anything unusual.

Cloud questions

Why Azure?

Our stack is C# and .NET, and Azure runs it best: App Service for hosting, Cosmos DB and SQL for data, Service Bus for messaging and Key Vault for secrets, all under one account and one set of security controls.

Can you move our existing application to the cloud?

Yes. We usually start by hosting the app and its database on managed Azure services, then move heavy or slow work onto queues and background workers so it scales.

Do we have to move everything to the cloud?

No. Hybrid setups are common. Our file-transfer gateway for BlueScope Steel accepts uploads in Azure and delivers them to servers behind the corporate firewall.

How do you keep cloud costs under control?

We choose managed services sized to your real traffic, use consumption plans that scale to zero for occasional work, and move background jobs onto queues so you are not paying for idle capacity.

How do you handle secrets and security?

Keys, tokens and certificates live in Azure Key Vault, traffic is TLS-only, endpoints are protected with OAuth 2.0, and card or bank data stays with providers like Stripe and Plaid.
