Software Development & Services

Cloud-native and SaaS applications

We build software for the cloud: applications that scale with demand and SaaS platforms that serve many customers safely. We choose the architecture to fit the problem, not the fashion.

Technology
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
  • Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Azure Container Apps
  • Azure Functions
  • AWS Lambda
  • Amazon EKS
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • OpenAPI
  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions

Your situation

Is this what you are looking for?

If any of these sound familiar, this service is for you.

  • You want to sell your software to many customers online
  • Your application slows or fails when demand rises
  • Releases are rare, risky and need a maintenance window
  • Cloud bills keep growing and nobody knows why

The work involved

What needs to be done

Whatever the size of the project, these are the steps that decide whether it succeeds.

  1. 1

    Define the product and how it will grow

    Estimate the number of customers, users and data you expect, and when. The architecture must fit that scale, not an imagined one.

  2. 2

    Choose the architecture for your team

    Decide between a single well-structured application and separate services. More moving parts mean more to run, so the design should match your team size and skills.

  3. 3

    Design customer separation and access

    Choose how each customer data is kept apart, how sign-in works and how plans and limits are enforced. These choices are hard to change later.

  4. 4

    Automate builds, releases and monitoring

    Set up pipelines that test and deploy every change, and monitoring that alerts you to problems before customers notice.

  5. 5

    Review cost and reliability regularly

    Track cloud spend and performance, tune scaling rules and test recovery from failures. The first design is rarely the cheapest.

How we can help

How we can help

This is what we do for you, so your team can stay focused on running the business.

Architecture that fits

A design chosen for your scale, team and budget. Sometimes that is microservices, and sometimes a well-structured single application is the better answer.

Ask about this

Microservices and APIs

Services with clear boundaries, documented APIs, messaging between them and tracing across them, so problems can be found and fixed.

Ask about this

Containers and serverless

Container-based applications on managed platforms such as Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Container Apps or Amazon EKS, and serverless functions where they suit the workload.

Ask about this

Multi-tenant SaaS design

Tenant isolation, per-tenant configuration, identity and access, and data models chosen for your security and cost needs.

Ask about this

Subscriptions and white-label

Plans, usage and subscription management, API management and documentation, and white-label branding for resellers and partners.

Ask about this

Scaling, monitoring and cost

Auto-scaling rules, logging and alerts, release pipelines and cost reviews, so the platform is reliable and affordable to run.

Common questions

Do we need microservices?

Not always. Microservices add operational cost, so we start from your requirements. Many products are better as a well-structured single application that is split later if there is a clear reason.

How do you keep one customer data separate from another?

There are several designs, from a shared database with tenant identifiers to a separate database per tenant. Each has different cost, isolation and operational trade-offs, and we recommend one based on your security needs and customer profile.

Which cloud do you build on?

Mainly Azure and AWS. We recommend one based on your existing licensing, skills, customers and compliance needs, and we avoid designs that lock you in without a reason.
