Cloud Solutions Company India
Markifid is a cloud solutions company in India helping startups and growing businesses move to, manage, and cut costs on AWS and Azure. Most businesses we talk to are either paying for cloud infrastructure they don't need or avoiding the cloud altogether because the pricing feels impossible to predict. We fix both.
What We Do
Cloud Migration
Moving your servers, databases, and applications from on-premise or another host to AWS or Azure, with minimal downtime.
Cloud Architecture Design
Building infrastructure that's sized for your actual traffic, not over-provisioned "just in case".
Managed Cloud Services
Regular monitoring and patching, backups and cost optimization to ensure you don't have to fight infrastructure issues on your own.
DevOps Services
CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code so deployments stop being a weekend event.
AWS Consulting
Architecture reviews, cost audits, along with Well-Architected Framework assessments for teams already using AWS.
Azure Cloud Services
Configuration, migration as well as management of teams that are standardised on Microsoft's ecosystem.
AWS vs. Azure: Which Should You Choose?
This is the most frequently asked query we receive. The truth is that it's based on your stack, and not on which platform is "better."
| Factor | AWS | Azure |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Startups, custom builds, AI/ML-heavy workloads | Enterprises already on Microsoft (Office 365, Windows Server, .NET) |
| India regions | Mumbai (ap-south-1), Hyderabad (ap-south-2) | Central India (Pune), South India (Chennai) |
| Learning curve | Steeper — 200+ services | Gentler for teams with Microsoft background |
| Hybrid/on-prem integration | Available via Outposts | More mature — Azure Arc, Azure Stack HCI |
| Typical starting compute cost (India, 4 vCPU/16GB) | ~₹14,000–15,000/month on-demand | Comparable, slightly provider-dependent |
If you're unsure, we run a short workload assessment and recommend the platform that fits your team and application — not the one that's easier for us to sell.
Why Cloud Costs Get Out of Control And How We Prevent It
Most Indian businesses overpay on cloud not because the platforms are expensive, but because of three things:
Over-provisioning
Servers sized for peak load running 24/7 at only around 10% utilization.
No Egress or Storage Cost Planning
Bills that spike from data transfer nobody budgeted for.
No Cloud Cost Ownership
Infrastructure gets set up once and never revisited as usage patterns change.
Our managed cloud engagements include a monthly cost review specifically to catch this — not just uptime monitoring.
Our Cloud Engagement Process
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Cloud Audit | Review current infrastructure (or requirements, if starting fresh) and cost baseline. |
| Architecture Plan | Right-sized infrastructure design — compute, storage, networking, and security. |
| Migration / Build | Phased migration with rollback plan, or a fresh cloud-native build. |
| DevOps Setup | CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable deployments. |
| Managed Support | Ongoing monitoring, patching, and monthly cost optimization review. |
How We Structure Engagements
Fixed-price migration/setup
For a defined scope: moving existing infrastructure to the cloud, or standing up a new cloud-native environment. One quote, one timeline.
Managed cloud (ongoing)
Monthly management of your infrastructure: monitoring, patching, backups, and cost review. Priced against the infrastructure size we're managing, not a flat fee unrelated to your actual footprint.
Cloud audit (one-time, fixed scope)
If you're already on AWS/Azure and just want an independent cost and architecture review before deciding whether to change anything.
We scope the right model after a workload review — we won't push a managed retainer on a business that only needs a one-time migration.
Tools & Stack We Work With
Infrastructure-as-code
Terraform, AWS CloudFormation
Containerization
Docker, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS)
CI/CD
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins
Monitoring & Cost Management
AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, third-party cost tools for usage alerting.
Security
IAM policy hardening, VPC/network segmentation, encryption at rest and in transit.
Who This Is For
Startups building cloud-native from day one
You don't require an all-time DevOps hire but you'll need infrastructure that doesn't break when you first start receiving real traffic. We set up right-sized architecture with room to scale, so the first version isn't something you're forced to rebuild at your next funding round.
Growing businesses migrating off shared hosting or a single VPS
This is usually triggered by a specific pain point — a site going down under load, or a client demanding better uptime guarantees. We plan the migration with a rollback path, so the move itself doesn't become the outage you were trying to avoid.
Teams already on AWS/Azure paying more than they should
This is one of our most requested engagements — an outside audit almost always finds over-provisioned resources or pricing tier mismatches nobody has revisited since initial setup.
Businesses needing DPDP Act–aligned data residency
If you manage Indian customer data or have to show where it's kept and how it's secure, we design using hosting for India region and access control built-in from the beginning, and not retrofitted once the compliance review flags it.
Managed Cloud vs. Hiring In-House DevOps
| Option | Best When | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Hire in-house DevOps engineer | Large, continuous infrastructure workload that justifies a full-time role. | Long hiring cycle; single point of failure if they leave; salary cost regardless of workload fluctuation. |
| Managed cloud service | Infrastructure needs monitoring and optimization but doesn't require a full-time person. | Less "always-on" than an internal hire physically present. |
| Nothing (self-managed) | Very early-stage, minimal infrastructure, technical founder comfortable managing it directly. | Cost overruns and security gaps tend to appear as usage grows past what one person can track part-time. |
For most businesses below a certain infrastructure size, managed cloud services cost less than a full-time DevOps salary while still providing continuous monitoring — the crossover point is usually when infrastructure complexity is high enough to need daily, not weekly, attention.
Why Markifid for Cloud Solutions
- India-region pricing transparency — We quote in INR against actual ap-south-1/Central India rates, not US list prices converted at a rough exchange rate.
- No platform bias — We recommend AWS or Azure based on your workload, not a reseller margin.
- Connected to your dev stack — Because we also handle web development, mobile app development, AI/ML solutions in-house, your cloud architecture is designed around what you're actually building, not treated as a separate silo.
- DPDP-aware architecture — Data residency and compliance considerations are built into the infrastructure plan from the start, relevant for any business handling Indian user data.
Pricing
We don't sell fixed "cloud packages" because your bill depends entirely on usage — anyone quoting a flat monthly cloud fee upfront without seeing your workload is guessing. What we do offer: a free initial cloud cost audit, a fixed quote for migration/setup work, and transparent monthly rates for managed services based on the infrastructure size we're managing.
