Cloud & DevOps Company in Lagos

Lagos cloud engagements are scoped by governance depth and how much of the run you want us to own: a scoped cloud landing zone for a Lagos fintech or mid-market business covering AWS or Azure account structure, Terraform IaC, baseline CI/CD, and a CBN/NDPA-aligned security baseline, a full Kubernetes platform with multi-account governance, GitOps, observability, and PCI DSS scoping, or a managed DevOps retainer for ongoing 24/7 operations that scales with transaction volume. We quote in NGN and USD because forex volatility makes single-currency Lagos contracts painful, and we lock the rate for the duration of the milestone.

AWS does not have a region in Nigeria. The geographically closest commercial AWS region to Lagos is af-south-1 in Cape Town, with measured RTT of roughly 70-100ms over the West Africa Cable System, MainOne, ACE, 2Africa, and Equiano submarine cables landing in Lagos. eu-west-1 (Ireland) and eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) sit at 130-180ms. For latency-sensitive payment flows we keep transactional services in af-south-1 and edge-cache at MainOne MDX-i Lekki or Rack Centre Yaba. For workloads needing service breadth (Bedrock, certain ML offerings) we hybrid into Frankfurt or Ireland and accept the latency tradeoff with documented data flow agreements under NDPA Section 41.

The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, administered by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), allows cross-border transfer of personal data subject to adequacy decisions, binding corporate rules, or explicit consent with documented purpose. Our designs default to processing Nigerian personal data inside Nigeria (MainOne, Rack Centre, Galaxy Backbone) or AWS af-south-1 with NDPC-aligned transfer paperwork. Categories that NDPA treats as sensitive (BVN, NIN, biometric, health, financial) stay onshore unless the data controller has signed off on a transfer mechanism. We deliver a data flow diagram and an NDPA-compliant Data Protection Impact Assessment as part of the landing zone handover, suitable for NDPC audit.

Yes. We have shipped cloud and DevOps for CBN-licensed Payment Service Providers, Switching companies, Mobile Money Operators, Microfinance Banks, and OFIs aligned with the CBN Risk-Based Cybersecurity Framework. Standard deliverables include a NIBSS Instant Payment integration, BVN and NIN verification flows, AML transaction monitoring against NFIU and OFAC lists, PCI DSS Level 1 scoping, and CBN regulatory reporting feeds. We coordinate with your appointed CISO and Compliance Officer, and our runbooks meet the CBN reporting windows for cybersecurity incidents. Our designs have passed CBN examination cycles when implemented with the client's controls fully wired and tested.

Production-grade Lagos cloud assumes that any single fibre route, power feed, or last-mile ISP will fail. We architect active-active across MainOne MDX-i Lekki and Rack Centre Yaba (or another diverse facility) for on-prem and colocation workloads, multi-AZ in af-south-1 for cloud-native workloads, and multi-region into eu-west-1 or eu-central-1 for disaster recovery. Connectivity is dual-homed across MainOne, IPNX, and at least one alternate carrier on physically diverse fibre paths. UPS and N+1 generator coverage at the data center plus client-site IP-KVM access keep operations going through grid outages. Our chaos engineering schedule explicitly simulates Lekki-Apapa fibre cuts and discom blackouts.

Yes. Many Lagos fintechs and platforms expand into Accra, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Cairo, and Dakar, and the cloud architecture needs to follow without rewrites. We design multi-region topologies on AWS af-south-1, Azure South Africa North, and edge POPs in country (MainOne Accra, IXP Nairobi at iXAfrica, Teraco Johannesburg, Telecom Egypt facilities Cairo) with country-by-country data residency segmentation. Compliance overlays include NDPA Nigeria, Ghana Data Protection Act, Kenya DPA 2019, POPIA South Africa, and Egypt PDPL Law 151/2020. Payment integration spans Flutterwave, Paystack, Cellulant, M-Pesa, Fawry, and PayFast depending on corridor.

Our managed DevOps retainer for Lagos clients covers 24/7 on-call across WAT (GMT+1) and overlapping IST and PST hours via our Chandigarh and Edmonton hubs, weekly patching and CIS Benchmark drift remediation, monthly cost optimisation reviews in NGN and USD, quarterly disaster recovery drills aligned with CBN expectations, and continuous compliance posture monitoring against NDPA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001. Standard SLAs are 15-minute response for Sev-1, 1-hour for Sev-2, with documented RTO and RPO per service. We integrate with your existing PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or Slack-based incident workflow rather than forcing a tool migration.

For NCC-licensed operators (telcos, ISPs, VAS providers, Unified Access Service Licence holders) we design carrier-class cloud infrastructure including NFV pipelines on OpenStack or VMware Telco Cloud, OSS/BSS modernisation, and CDR data lakes on AWS or on-prem at MainOne. We do not act as the licensee or apply for the licence on your behalf, and the NCC compliance officer remains your appointed staff. Our role is the cloud platform, the DevOps pipeline, and the documentation package (architecture diagrams, change records, security baseline) that NCC inspections expect. We have shipped to this standard for both incumbents and challenger operators.
