Cloud & Data Platform Engineering

Systems rarely fail at the parts.
They fail at the seams.

Anansi Systems designs, migrates, and operates the cloud and data platforms that mission-critical programs run on — and the connective tissue that holds them together.

Start a conversation What we do

Cloud Adoption

Cloud adoption and migration moves workloads into AWS, including GovCloud and hybrid architectures — multi-account structure, network design, identity, and the landing zone the rest of the program is built on.

Data Platforms

Data engineering and migration across relational, NoSQL, caching, and analytics — each chosen by access pattern rather than habit. Legacy database migration, pipeline design, and the platform layer that makes data usable.

Integration

Systems integration connects systems that were never designed to speak to each other — replication, change data capture, and the interfaces where most modernization efforts actually fail.

Automation

Infrastructure as code gives you Terraform-declared environments and CI/CD pipelines — infrastructure that is reproducible, reviewable, and recoverable instead of hand-built and fragile.

About us

Who we are

Anansi Systems is a cloud and data platform engineering firm built by two practicing engineers. We work on the infrastructure and data layers of federal programs — the cloud foundations agencies deploy into, the databases their missions depend on, and the pipelines that move information between them.

Our capability spans the full path: cloud architecture and migration on one side, data platform engineering on the other. We handle the parts most engagements treat as someone else's problem — the migrations that must not lose fidelity, the interfaces nobody owns, the automation that makes an environment survivable after handoff.

We are small on purpose. You talk to the engineers doing the work, and every decision has a name attached to it.

Why the name
Anansi is the spider of Ashanti tradition — the keeper of stories, and the weaver who connects them.

A web is the oldest engineering metaphor we know: independent threads, anchored well, carrying load together. No single strand holds the structure. The connections do.

How we work

Our approach

The way a firm runs its own infrastructure is the clearest signal of how it will run yours.

Fit to the problem

The right store depends on the access pattern, the consistency requirement, and the cost profile — not on which technology we know best. We will tell you when the boring answer is the correct one.

Declared, not clicked

Environments are defined in code and reviewed before they are applied. Every change has a plan you can read, a history you can audit, and a path back.

Isolated by default

Separate accounts, least-privilege access, and centralized logging. Isolation is a security boundary, not a convenience — one environment's failure should never reach another's.

Documented as we go

Decisions, tradeoffs, and the reasoning behind them, written down while they are fresh. A runbook nobody wrote is a risk nobody priced.

Small and accountable

You talk to the engineers doing the work. No layer between the decision and the person who has to live with it.

Mission-shaped

Federal programs carry constraints commercial work does not: compliance posture, authority to operate, and uptime that is not negotiable. We design for those from the start.

The team

Two engineers, complementary halves

Cloud architecture and data platform engineering, covering the path from infrastructure foundation to the data that runs on it.
