High-Performance AWS Infrastructure for Africa’s Scale.
We're a small team of AWS engineers based in Lagos. We help African companies run cloud infrastructure that doesn't break when it matters. You ship product. We handle the rest.
We build for here.
We started Cidarnet because we kept watching good African companies get burned by infrastructure designed for someone else's internet, someone else's power grid, and someone else's customers. Our architectures assume yours will go down at 2 AM. They're ready for it.

Six things we're good at.
If you need something that isn't here, ask. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Cloud Migration
On-premise, Azure, or GCP to AWS. Zero data loss. Cutover at 2 AM so your users never notice.

Break the monolith. Containers on ECS or EKS. Serverless where it actually makes sense.
Learn moreDevOps & CI/CD
Pipelines that deploy themselves. Terraform for everything. Rollback in under a minute.
Learn moreManaged Cloud
We run AWS for you. 24/7 monitoring. 15-minute P1 response. Real engineers on the pager.
Learn moreSecurity & Compliance
NDPC, PCI, SOC 2. Least-privilege IAM, KMS, GuardDuty. Audits we've actually passed.
Learn moreCost Optimization

How a project actually goes
No fluff. Here's what happens from the day you sign to the day everything is running.
We actually read your setup
Two weeks, no questionnaires. We get into your code, your configs, and your AWS bill, and we come back with a plain list of what works, what's wasting money, and what's going to hurt you in six months.
We draw it up and you push back
We write out what the new thing should look like on AWS, share it with your team, and wait for arguments. We change it based on what you say. Nothing gets built until you're comfortable.
We build it next to what you have now
Your live system keeps running while we build the new one in parallel. We test it until we're bored. Then we cut over on a quiet night you choose. If anything looks off, we roll back before you wake up.
It's yours. We're here if you want us.
We hand over the keys, the runbooks, and the Terraform. If you'd rather we keep running things, we will. Real engineers, 24/7, on the pager. If not, we'll check in a few weeks later to see how it's going.
"Moved us off Azure in six weeks. I was expecting the usual consultant theatre. Instead they showed up, asked the right questions, and disappeared into the work. Transaction failures went from 3.2% to 0.1%. I stopped getting 3 AM calls."
