Cloud Infrastructure in Columbia.
We build cloud infrastructure for Columbia companies. Serverless AWS architecture, CI/CD, and integrations your team can maintain. As a remote-first studio, we work with Missouri businesses the same way we work with clients anywhere in the US.
[ Cloud Infrastructure in Columbia ]
Research computing in Columbia is bursty, and grant budgets punish idle servers. We build AWS architectures that scale to zero between workloads, defined in infrastructure as code so a study's environment can be reviewed, reproduced, or archived when the award ends. For insurance and healthcare-adjacent workloads, we layer in the compliance controls those reviews require.
A research environment in Columbia often runs hard for the weeks around data collection and analysis, then barely at all until the next phase, and paying for full-time servers to support part-time science is a quiet tax on every award. Reproducibility raises the stakes further: when a study ends, its computing environment should be reviewable and re-creatable, not a mystery box a departed graduate assistant configured. Columbia's insurance and health-adjacent organizations bring the compliance version of the problem, where the pressing question is less cost than control.
Init One Solutions builds AWS environments that answer both. Serverless and scale-to-zero architectures mean compute spending tracks actual workload, and infrastructure as code captures every environment as reviewable text, so a study can be archived, reproduced, or handed to an auditor years later. For regulated workloads we layer encryption, role-based access, and logging into the same foundation. The account is registered to your organization, our access is scoped and temporary by design, and everything is documented so university IT or your own Columbia staff can operate it after handover.

[ Working with us from Columbia ]
Can cloud spending stay within a fixed research award?
Yes, with architecture and guardrails working together. Scale-to-zero designs cost almost nothing between analysis runs, per-project tagging maps every dollar to the award funding it, and budget alarms alert your Columbia team well before a threshold is breached. We estimate workload costs during design so the award proposal itself can carry realistic cloud numbers.
Who controls the AWS environment, you or us?
You do, structurally. The account belongs to your organization from the beginning, we operate through permissions you grant and can revoke in minutes, and infrastructure as code means nothing about the setup lives only in our heads. This matters doubly for grant-funded and regulated work in Columbia, where an auditor may ask who could touch what, and the answer must be provable.
Can you work alongside University of Missouri IT requirements?
Yes. Institutional environments come with real constraints, approved authentication, network policies, data classification rules, and we treat them as design inputs rather than obstacles. We coordinate directly with campus IT where a project touches university systems, and we document the architecture so their review is a reading exercise, not an interrogation.
