InTheCloud is an AI-first engineering consultancy delivering enterprise AI implementation and AI engineering services. We take AI initiatives from strategy and pilot into secure production AI in the cloud — agentic systems, retrieval, evaluation and the senior software engineering behind them — for organizations where downtime, drift, and decisions all cost real money.
Enterprise delivery credentials
Re-platforming
ecommerce at scale
A large ecommerce company
A large ecommerce company had a new third-party marketplace revenue channel ready to launch — but blocked by accumulated technical debt in the high-volume eCommerce platform underneath it. We embedded a senior engineering pod inside their storefront team to clear the path.
The pod ran two tracks in parallel — feature delivery in the client's sprint cadence, and the reliability and performance hardening their in-house team had never had room for.
Unified fragmented order-status visibility into a single real-time customer view and threaded a new partner-marketplace channel through the OMS backbone — expanding the platform to support third-party orders without disrupting active fulfillment flows.
Replaced vendor-driven pricing tables with a client-specific unit-economic model that anchored CDP contract negotiations in data — and cleared a migration path off the legacy platform without disrupting existing Adobe-based reporting.
Compressed cross-system marketing workflow setup from days of coordination to minutes of declarative definition — and surfaced a build-on-existing alternative to a multi-million-dollar platform migration that preserves the client's existing SAP investment.
Hardened a high-traffic storefront API, delivered taxonomy-driven breadcrumbs against a fixed release window, and turned a one-off pooling audit into a reusable engineering practice adopted across the client's pod structure.
Stood up an internal operations portal, a production-grade authentication system, a cross-browser E2E testing pipeline, and a job-board integration POC inside a single quarter — clearing four roadmap items the in-house team had been unable to land in parallel.
Most of our work spans more than one discipline. We staff every engagement with an integrated pod of builders — not handoffs between siloed teams.
Product engineering and platform builds for commerce, payments, supply chain, and customer experience systems. Event-driven architectures, API platforms, and developer experience.
From foundation-model selection to production deployment: RAG architectures, agentic workflows, and AI-augmented operations grounded in enterprise data — with the governance to ship them safely.
Landing zone design, workload migration, FinOps, and multi-cloud governance. We modernize what's worth modernizing — and decommission what isn't — with a clear-eyed business case.
Zero-trust architecture, identity modernization, CSPM, and incident response. Built for organizations where breach blast-radius is measured in regulatory exposure, not just dollars.
Every engagement ends the same way: a working system in production, owned by your engineers. These are the routes in.
Our delivery teams specialize by industry. That means builders who already know your regulatory landscape, your data models, and the systems your team is replacing — not generalists learning on your dollar.
A complete walkthrough of shipping a Model Context Protocol server into an enterprise environment — tool design, authentication, least-privilege scoping, idempotency, error surfaces, and the tests that keep it safe.
How to build the offline evaluation suite that lets a bank, insurer or health system change prompts and models weekly without waiting on a manual review — golden datasets, rubric grading, drift monitoring, and what to show a model risk committee.
An honest, line-by-line breakdown of a 30-day agentic AI pilot in a large organization — engineering effort, model spend, security and compliance time, the internal costs nobody budgets for, and what production adds on top.
Five hard-earned lessons on test-suite hygiene, Kafka consumer resiliency under outage conditions, and why most marketplace integrations fail at the offer-display boundary.
How AI-driven assortment, search, and pricing are quietly displacing decade-old rules engines. Where the durable moats are forming — and where retailers are spending real money on what will turn out to be table stakes.
A pragmatic framework for understanding where your organization sits on the cloud financial management curve. The phase transitions where most organizations stall — and the leading indicators that signal you're ready to move on.
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask before shortlisting a firm — written for the person who has to defend the decision internally.
The evaluation criteria that separate firms who ship production systems from firms who deliver recommendations.
