Overview
Google Cloud is strong in data, analytics, AI and Kubernetes. We design and build on Google Cloud: organisation and project structure, networking, GKE and Cloud Run workloads, BigQuery data platforms, AI service integration, security controls and cost management — defined as code and designed for operability.
Common use cases
- Data and analytics platformBigQuery-centric analytics.
- Kubernetes workloadsGKE-based platforms.
- Serverless containersCloud Run services.
- AI workloadsModel serving and AI services.
Quick answers
Google Cloud Development at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is google cloud development?
- Build on Google Cloud — GKE, Cloud Run, BigQuery, AI services, networking and security architecture.
- Who is it for?
- Typically companies migrating to the cloud, teams whose releases are slow or risky, and organisations that need stronger reliability, security or cost control.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Organisation design
- Compute
- Data
- AI integration
- Security
- Infrastructure as code
- Which technologies are used?
- Google Cloud, BigQuery, Kubernetes, Terraform, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Discovery & assessment → Landing zone → Migration waves → Optimisation → Managed operations.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of applications and environments
- Compliance and data-residency requirements
- Availability and recovery objectives
- Existing automation and IaC maturity
- Multi-cloud or hybrid scope
- Ongoing managed-service needs
- How long does it take?
- Assessments take 2–4 weeks; platform builds and migrations are usually delivered in 2–6 month phases.

Capabilities
What we deliver
Organisation design
Folders, projects and policies.
Compute
GKE, Cloud Run and Compute Engine.
Data
BigQuery, Cloud SQL and Pub/Sub.
AI integration
Model hosting and APIs.
Security
IAM, VPC Service Controls and KMS.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform-based environments.
Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for cloud architecture, migration & operations, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Right migration strategyNot everything should be refactored; not everything should be lifted.
- Data residencyRegion choices aligned with regulatory and customer requirements.
- Cost governanceTagging, budgets and alerts from day one.
- Tested recoveryDisaster recovery exercised, not just documented.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Discovery & assessment
Inventory, dependencies, performance baselines and cost model.
- 2
Landing zone
Account structure, network, identity and guardrails as code.
- 3
Migration waves
Rehost, replatform or refactor per workload with rollback plans.
- 4
Optimisation
Rightsizing, reserved capacity and architecture improvements.
- 5
Managed operations
Ongoing monitoring, patching, backups and incident response.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Infrastructure as code
Every change reviewed, versioned and reproducible.
Identity & network
Least-privilege IAM, private networking and zero-trust access.
Secrets & encryption
Central secrets management and encryption by default.
Monitoring
Alerting, audit logs and incident runbooks from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Google Cloud good for AI workloads?
It offers strong AI infrastructure and managed services; the best choice depends on your existing stack and requirements.
Are you a Google Cloud partner?
We do not claim formal partner status; our engineers work extensively with Google Cloud.
Which cloud should we choose?
It depends on your workloads, existing licences and contracts, team skills, data residency and specific managed services you need. We provide a neutral comparison and recommendation.
Can you reduce our cloud bill?
Usually. Common savings come from rightsizing, scheduling non-production environments, storage lifecycle policies, commitment discounts and architectural changes. We quantify opportunities after an assessment rather than promising percentages up front.
