Cloud infrastructure that stays in motion.
Qkiu Motion designs, builds and runs AWS infrastructure, delivery pipelines, backend services and AI features: as code, ready for production, for regulated teams and fast-moving ones.
AWS-certified engineeringProduction work in banking, payments, health and government
From the first account to the last deploy.
Five kinds of work Qkiu Motion takes on. Each one is backed by systems that run in production today.
-
Cloud foundations
An AWS estate that is secure and organised from the first account.
- Multi-account structure with clear boundaries between environments
- VPC and Transit Gateway networking, VPC endpoints, WAF and CloudFront
- Identity, KMS encryption, flow logs and audit trails
-
Infrastructure as code
Every environment reproducible, reviewable and versioned.
- Modular Terraform with independently deployable modules
- Dev, test and production built from the same code
- Changes reviewed like application code, before they reach production
-
Delivery pipelines
Releases that are routine, not risky.
- CodePipeline or GitHub Actions pipelines, defined as code
- Docker builds with blue/green and zero-downtime deployments
- Approval gates and notifications for production
-
Backend and APIs
Services that grow with the product instead of holding it back.
- FastAPI and Spring Boot microservices
- PostgreSQL, Redis and Kafka
- Payment integrations and identity
-
Applied AI
AI features with guardrails, running in your own AWS account.
- Amazon Bedrock integration (Claude, Nova Pro)
- Retrieval-augmented generation with pgvector
- Bedrock Guardrails for sensitive domains, and agentic workflows
Proven where reliability matters.
Production work across regulated industries and applied AI. Client names stay confidential; the architecture is shown in full.

How a project moves.
Four stages. Each one ends with something you keep.
-
Discover
Your current setup, constraints and goals, mapped together.
You getA written brief and a first architecture sketch.
-
Design
The target architecture and the route to reach it.
You getAn account and network plan, an infrastructure-as-code module plan, and the risks named up front.
-
Build
Infrastructure, pipelines and services, delivered into your own AWS accounts.
You getTerraform, pipelines and services, with tests.
-
Run and hand over
Production tuned and documented, then handed over to your team.
You getObservability, runbooks, cost and performance tuning, and knowledge transfer.
The engineering behind it.
