New Orleans · Cloud and platform engineering

Cloud platforms for New Orleans companies that plan for hurricane season.

HarborBasin Networks designs and runs cloud infrastructure and internal developer platforms for New Orleans companies, with recovery across regions written into every design.

Why we exist

Plan for the storm
before the forecast.

How it works

Three steps to a rehearsed failover.

  1. Step 01

    Map

    We list every service, where it runs and what it depends on.

  2. Step 02

    Build

    We write the infrastructure as code across two regions.

  3. Step 03

    Rehearse

    We fail over on purpose every spring and write up what happened.

Questions

What people ask before they call.

Do we need to move everything to the cloud?

No. We start with the systems that would hurt most to lose and leave the rest until there is a reason.

Which clouds do you work with?

AWS and Azure. We pick based on what your team already knows.

How long does a resilience review take?

About two weeks, including interviews with the people who run your systems.

Do you replace our IT team?

No. We build alongside them and hand over runbooks they can follow.

What happens during a rehearsal?

We switch a service to the second region during a planned window and time how long it takes.

How is pricing set?

A fixed fee for the review, then a monthly fee for ongoing operations, agreed in writing.

Next step

If the office lost power for a week, what would still run?

Book a resilience review. We will map what fails, what recovers and how long it takes.

  • Written report within two weeks
  • No commitment after the review
  • Your team keeps every document
