Secure infrastructure, with AI at the core of operations.

NextOps designs, automates, and operates cloud platforms with security built-in from the first commit — putting autonomous AI agents to work alongside your engineering team.

Services

Three pillars, one unified operation

Platform engineering, security, and artificial intelligence treated as parts of the same system, not isolated silos.

DevOps, Platform & AWS Cloud

Reproducible infrastructure, fast delivery loops, and strict cost control.

  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
  • Container orchestration on Amazon ECS & EKS
  • CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
  • Observability: logs, metrics, traces, and actionable alerts
  • FinOps: visibility and cloud cost optimization

DevSecOps

Security embedded directly into the delivery pipeline without becoming a bottleneck.

  • Cloud account, network, and workload hardening
  • Least-privilege IAM and systematic access reviews
  • AWS Security Hub & GuardDuty automated triage and response
  • Automated code, dependency, container, and IaC security scanners
  • Compliance readiness and technical audit evidence

AI at the core

Operational AI, built with guardrails

No loose chatbots. These are scoped agents with defined permissions, complete audit trails, and human-in-the-loop validation where it matters, securely connected to your cloud, pipeline, and knowledge base.

The same people who run your infrastructure and security design the AI. That is why agents ship with least-privilege permissions, secrets kept out of code, logging, and cost limits from day one.

  • Operational AgentsInspect alerts, query logs and metrics, and propose diagnoses while leaving final execution to the engineers.
  • Internal AssistantsAnswer questions about internal runbooks, architecture, and docs with explicit source citations.
  • Secure RAGSemantic search over internal assets with strict access controls and data privacy.
  • MCP IntegrationsStandardized, auditable protocol servers connecting LLMs to internal tooling safely.
  • GuardrailsTight permission boundaries, mandatory human approval for sensitive actions, and real-time cost/usage monitoring.

How we work

From Diagnosis to Operation

Every phase delivers concrete, reviewable outcomes. You decide when to move forward.

  1. Diagnosis

    Deep-dive scan of your current environment: cloud architecture, pipelines, security posture, costs, and high-impact AI opportunities.

  2. Action Plan

    Prioritized roadmap based on risk and business impact, complete with scopes, estimates, and definition of done.

  3. Implementation

    Version-controlled infrastructure and code changes applied incrementally with zero production surprises.

  4. Operation

    Continuous monitoring, cost refinement, security posture hardening, and ongoing AI agent tuning.

About

Engineering First

NextOps is an IT consultancy based in São Paulo, founded in 2025 and led by a senior DevOps & Cloud Engineer. Our philosophy is simple: treat infrastructure, security, and artificial intelligence as a single cohesive stack governed by rigorous engineering standards.

We also build custom software and web solutions when the project calls for it.

  • Everything as Code. Infrastructure, policies, and automations strictly versioned and reviewable.
  • Security by Default. Least privilege, protected secrets, and verifiable audit evidence.
  • Total Transparency. Decisions fully documented and backed by telemetry data from your own environment.
