Infrastructure as Code exists so cloud change stays peer-reviewed, tested, and attributable: especially once multiple teams touch the same accounts. We deliver pragmatic Terraform-led programmes from first modules through multi-account landing zones with policy-as-code in CI/CD, staffed by certified engineers based in the Netherlands and working on-site or remotely.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of describing the cloud and on-premises resources you depend on in plain text: and then letting tooling realise that description in the real world. Every change goes through pull-request review, CI runs tests against it, and only the green builds end up in production.
For most programmes Terraform is the default engine, complemented by Ansible, Helm, Pulumi, CloudFormation, and Bicep where they reduce risk. We operate it daily across large AWS and Azure environments for organisations that answer to security and finance reviewers.
A repeatable engineering practice: not a collection of one-off scripts.
We design reusable Terraform modules with sane defaults, semantic versioning and integration tests. Naming, tagging, encryption, logging and IAM scopes are baked in: every project starts from the same green-tagged baseline.
Every PR triggers lint, security scan, plan, cost diff and policy checks (OPA / Sentinel / Checkov). Approved applies happen from CI with short-lived credentials: never from a laptop. Drift detection runs on a schedule and turns deltas into tickets.
We build full multi-account landing zones in Terraform: networking, identity, guardrails, logging and shared services: so new product teams get a paved road from day one.
Done well, IaC turns infrastructure changes into a normal engineering workflow. Done badly, it becomes a graveyard of half-applied state. We focus on the first.
Repeatable environments: dev, staging, production from the same code
Faster delivery: provisioning that took days now takes minutes
Lower risk: every change is reviewed, planned and reversible
Audit-ready: git history is your change record, no spreadsheet required
Multi-cloud reach: one engine across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and SaaS
We rolled out a fully Terraform-driven multi-account AWS landing zone with a security baseline, centralised log management, governance and networking: including an Account Vending Machine so new accounts come pre-shaped, peer-reviewed and policy-compliant from day one.

You are starting on AWS or Azure and want a Terraform-driven landing zone you won’t regret in eighteen months.
Your Terraform mono-repo breaks every release. We refactor for modules, workspaces and CI/CD without a big-bang rewrite.
You need ISO, NIS2 or DORA controls expressed as policy-as-code so audits stop being a quarterly emergency.
Real engineers, real production: measured in deploy frequency, not lines of HCL.
HashiCorp, AWS, and Azure certified engineers. ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and NEN 4400-1 certified company.
Reusable Terraform modules and Ansible roles from years of customer engagements: your project starts ahead, not from scratch.
We pair with your team and leave behind documented modules, runbooks and a release process you can keep moving without us.
The Factory is a Dutch cloud consultancy based in Rijswijk (Zuid-Holland). We work with organisations across the Randstad (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Eindhoven), and with customers elsewhere in the European Union. Our architects and platform engineers operate in Dutch and English, with experience on AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments.
Mostly mid-size and enterprise organisations across the Netherlands: in financial services, public sector, healthcare, education, industry, and SaaS. Engagements range from a short cloud assessment to long-running managed cloud operations.
