Atria AI is a UK-based legal technology startup building AI-powered tools to support lawyers with research and document analysis. As they prepared to launch their product’s minimum viable product (MVP), they needed expert Google Cloud support to build a secure and scalable infrastructure.
Introduction
MakeCloud, a UK-based Google Cloud consultancy, partnered with Atria AI to design and implement their initial Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment, which provides startup-friendly architecture and robust foundations for future growth.
The Challenge
As a fast-growing startup, Atria AI needed a Google Cloud environment that could support rapid product development while adhering to cloud best practices. Specifically, they required:
- A structured, multi-environment setup for development, staging, and production
- Secure and isolated networking across services
- IAM policies based on least-privilege
- Infrastructure as Code for repeatability and scalability
- A clear pathway for future scaling and cost control
With a small engineering team focused on product development, Atria AI wanted a partner who could deliver hands-on Google Cloud support tailored to the needs of early-stage startups.
The Results
MakeCloud provided end-to-end Google Cloud support for Atria AI, designing and deploying a secure, scalable infrastructure supporting their MVP and longer-term roadmap.
Key outcomes included:
Secure & reliable deployments
Separate Google Cloud environments for dev, staging, and production to mitigate risks and downtime.
Clear visibility and control
Centralised logging and monitoring using native GCP tooling.
Scalable foundation
Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code, enabling repeatable deployments, providing a cost-efficient, scalable foundation optimised for startup agility.
With this foundation, Atria AI’s engineering team could focus on building and iterating their product, confident that their infrastructure was production-ready from day one.
