New product builds
Greenfield products where AWS is the right foundation from day one, architected so the second year is not a rewrite.
Technology
AWS Development Services
We have shipped and supported production AWS systems for startups and established product teams. Here is what we build with it, how we work, and when we would tell you to use something else.
What we build with AWS
Four shapes of work that come up again and again.
Rescue and stabilisation
Inherited AWS codebases that have stopped being safe to deploy. We get the tests and the release process back first.
Performance work
Profiling before changing anything, so the fix addresses the real bottleneck rather than the one that is easiest to guess at.
Team extension
Senior AWS engineers embedded in your team, working to your standards and your review process.
The stack around it
AWS rarely ships alone. These are the pieces we most often pair it with, grouped the way a stack is actually assembled.
How we work
Our AWS development process
Five stages, and you see working software from the second one onward. No long discovery phase before anything gets built.
Scoping
One hour on a call. We map what you are building, what already exists, and what would make this a failure — that last one matters most.
Technical plan
A written architecture and an estimate, including where AWS is genuinely the right call and where it is not. Yours to take to any developer.
Build in slices
Working software every two weeks, deployed somewhere you can actually use it. Progress you can click, not a status report.
Test and harden
Coverage on the logic that costs money when it breaks, performance profiled before it is optimised, and CI that blocks a bad merge.
Launch
Deployed with runbooks for anything that pages someone at 3am, and a rollback you have actually tested rather than assumed.
Run it or hand it over
Kept running by us, or documented and handed to your team. The code is yours from the first commit either way.
How we work with AWS
Four things that decide whether the build holds up a year in.
01 — Architecture
Decisions written down before code
Where AWS fits, what it talks to, and which parts of the system stay independent of it. Put in writing so the reasoning survives the people who made it.
- A written architecture you can take to any developer
- Trade-offs named, not glossed over
- No lock-in you did not agree to
02 — Delivery
Working software every two weeks
Deployed somewhere you can actually use it, not demoed from a laptop. You see progress in the product, not in a status report.
- Environments you can reach from day one
- Releases on a Friday without anyone staying late
- Your team in the repo from the first commit
03 — Quality
Tests where they earn their keep
Coverage on the logic that costs money when it breaks, not a number to hit. AWS makes some of this easy and some of it awkward; we will tell you which is which.
- Money paths covered end to end
- CI that blocks the merge, not a badge
- Performance profiled before it is optimised
04 — Handover
Built to be maintained without us
Documented, and handed to your team whenever you want it. The code is yours from the first commit and handover never depends on a final payment.
- Runbooks for the things that page someone
- Onboarding notes for the next developer
- No key-person dependency by design

Frequently asked questions
What teams ask before committing to AWS.
Still have questions?
Ask us directlyIs AWS the right choice for our product?
Sometimes it is not, and we will say so. It depends on what your team already knows, what you are integrating with, and how long the product has to live. That reasoning goes in writing before any code is committed.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit, in your own repository. Handover never depends on a final payment.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. Most of our work runs alongside an in-house team rather than instead of one, following your review process and your conventions.
Planning something with AWS?
Tell us what you are trying to build and we will scope it honestly, including whether we are the wrong people for it.
