AWS CLOUD Development Services | AWS Consulting

What are AWS cloud development services?

AWS Cloud development involves creating software solutions that operate entirely on AWS. This approach allows for the flexible building and deployment of new products. Utilising serverless capabilities within AWS also enables the huge advantage of having low cost infrastructure as serverless is primarily billed on a pay as you go model. This comes with some significant savings, especially when considering lower environments that may previously have had to be “always on”.

Cloud Development: Key principles and strategies

We have turned our attention to other issues faced by companies that need more advanced capabilities such as microservices, event-driven and other similar features. The three basic tenets of cloud development are:

Interconnected services

A cloud-based application functions through a network of interconnected services (APIs). It’s important to link them effectively to ensure smooth communication between them.
Data organisation

The architecture of the application should outline how to distribute data and software components across cloud servers. The proximity of these servers to your users affects the app’s loading speed, which in turn makes your business more agile and ensures greater uptime.
Communication pathways

Poorly designed communication logic can lead to slow loading times, negatively impacting user experience. Start by optimising your communication process, whether through single-channel or multi-channel streaming.

Our AWS Cloud Development Services

At Chakray, we excel in designing scalable and cost-efficient solutions using AWS CloudFront, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB and more. Our expertise ensures that your applications handle ephemeral workloads efficiently, minimising costs and optimising performance.

Microservices

Our team leads in building resilient, robust systems through a microservices architecture. Utilising technologies like AWS ECS and Fargate, we develop modular, scalable applications that enhance reliability and support, independent of deployment and maintenance. We also specialise in serverless microservices, leveraging AWS Lambdas, DynamoDB and the AWS CDK to build self-contained serverless microservices that inherently scale.
Event-Driven systems

We are proficient in building real-time communication systems using AWS SNS, SQS, and EventBridge. These event-driven architectures facilitate integration and responsiveness, empowering your applications in managing asynchronous events smoothly and efficiently.
Domain-driven design

By applying domain-driven design principles, we model complex business domains to create software aligned with your business goals. Our approach ensures that software architecture mirrors your business processes, leading to more effective and maintainable solutions.
Security and compliance

We prioritise implementing excellent security measures and ensuring regulatory compliance. Using AWS IAM, Cognito, OAuth, and JWT, we protect your data and ensure your applications comply with relevant regulations, providing peace of mind and securing your business.
Agile development

Our mastery of Agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban, guarantees efficient project delivery. Our command over tools like JIRA can enhance collaboration, transparency, and maintain flexibility throughout your processes to ensure delivering high-quality results promptly.
Infrastructure automation

We automate infrastructure deployment using AWS CDK and CloudFormation, boosting scalability and robustness. Our expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) ensures consistent and predictable management of your infrastructure, reducing manual intervention and reducing errors exponentially.
Continuous delivery

Continuous delivery We ensure expedited software delivery through continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Our CI/CD practices encourage swift and confident deployments, reducing time-to-market and keeping your applications up-to-date.
Quality assurance

We guarantee the reliability of your applications with full-fledged testing strategies, including but not limited to unit, integration, end-to-end, and load testing. Bolstered by robust testing frameworks, our approach ensures your software is performant and production-ready. Observability, monitoring, anomaly detection and alerting systems are created automatically using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), making sure that services are up and running without a hassle and easy to observe.
Documentation

We create informative and concise documentation using tools like OpenAPI and Swagger. Our thorough documentation standards largely improve understanding and integration, ensuring your development team can quickly and effectively work with our solutions.
Version control

Successful code management is important for organisation-wide collaboration and version control. Utilising Git and code repositories, we ensure your codebase is well-organised, facilitating smooth teamwork and efficient project management.
