What We Deliver
Our Capabilities
Serverless Architecture
AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and CloudFront architectures that scale automatically and cost nothing when idle. Designed with cold start management, access pattern modeling, and IAM security from day one.
Cloud Migration
Moving applications from on-premise or legacy hosting to AWS or Azure. Strangler fig migrations that keep production running throughout. Zero-downtime cutovers with rollback plans.
Infrastructure Automation
Automated infrastructure management using AWS Systems Manager, Lambda, CloudWatch, and PowerShell. EC2 scheduling, S3 lifecycle management, RDS snapshot automation, and cost anomaly alerting.
Cost Optimisation
Right-sizing instances, implementing S3 lifecycle policies, switching from over-provisioned EC2 to serverless, and setting up cost anomaly detection. Real savings on real AWS bills.
Azure Integration
Azure Service Bus for async task queues, Azure AD for enterprise authentication, Azure App Service for .NET workloads. Hybrid architectures that span AWS and Azure.
Monitoring & Observability
CloudWatch dashboards, cost anomaly alerts, error rate alarms, and Slack notifications. When something goes wrong in production, the right person knows within minutes.

What Sets Us Apart
We built a fully serverless backend for The Silva Way that averaged $340 per month in AWS costs while handling large traffic spikes. The $22,000 project paid back within the first year in infrastructure savings.
We migrated the UN-DGACM's full-text indexing infrastructure to Azure Service Bus with zero downtime. Throughput improved 3x because the new async architecture removed the threading constraints of the legacy system.
Our infrastructure automation suite for Digicom Technology Solutions eliminated 4-6 hours of weekly manual operations. Automations run on schedule via AWS SSM with full execution logs.
We understand cost management at the design level, not after the first AWS bill arrives. Access pattern modeling, Provisioned Concurrency strategy, and data transfer costs are considered before deployment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What AWS services do you work with?
Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront, EC2, RDS, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Systems Manager, CloudWatch, Cognito, and IAM. We also work with Azure Service Bus, Azure AD, and Azure App Service for clients with mixed infrastructure.
How much does a serverless AWS backend cost to run?
It depends on traffic, but serverless architectures scale to near zero when idle. We built a fully serverless backend for The Silva Way that averaged $340 per month in AWS costs while handling large traffic spikes. Compare that to an EC2 instance running 24/7.
Can you migrate our existing app to the cloud?
Yes. We handle cloud migrations from on-premise or legacy hosting to AWS or Azure. We use strangler fig migrations that keep production running throughout, with zero-downtime cutovers and rollback plans.
Do you help reduce AWS costs on an existing setup?
Yes. We audit your current infrastructure, identify over-provisioned resources, implement S3 lifecycle policies, set up cost anomaly detection, and in some cases migrate workloads from EC2 to serverless for significant savings.
What does infrastructure automation mean in practice?
Instead of an engineer manually starting and stopping EC2 instances, managing backups, or running reports each week, those tasks run automatically on schedule via AWS Systems Manager or Lambda. Our automation suite for Digicom eliminated 4-6 hours of weekly manual work.
