AWS backends with infrastructure as code
Serverless and containerised backends on AWS, defined in code, deployed through CI/CD and watched by real monitoring. We also stabilise platforms that have become fragile.
What's included
The work we take on under this service, and what each part covers.
Serverless architecture
Backends that scale to zero and to peak without a re-platform.
- Lambda and API Gateway
- S3 and CloudFront delivery
- Managed databases
- Secrets in SSM
Pipelines and environments
Every environment is defined in code and created by a pipeline, not by hand.
- Infrastructure as code
- Preview and staging environments
- Automated tests in CI
- Rollbacks
Monitoring, cost and rescue
Know what is happening and what it costs, and recover platforms that have drifted.
- Logs, metrics and alerts
- Cost budgets and reviews
- Incident runbooks
- Stabilisation of live systems
How we work on it
The habits that keep this kind of work predictable.
Everything is code
Infrastructure, configuration and secrets management live in the repository and go through review like any other change.
Budgets for errors and latency
We agree performance and error budgets up front and alert when they are at risk.
Runbooks, not heroics
Common incidents have written procedures, so recovery does not depend on who is awake.
Technologies we use
The tools this work is usually built with. We keep the stack small on purpose.
Sports tournament platform rescue
Stabilised the infrastructure of a live tournament platform on Elixir and AWS, reduced downtime and improved throughput and the admin experience.
