ServiceWeb Challengers

Cloud applicationsbuilt to operate reliably.

We design and deploy web applications on AWS with the application, database, storage, background jobs, email, security and operational workflow considered as one system.

  • AWS
  • EC2
  • RDS
  • Cloud applications
In plain terms

Cloud architecture is valuable when it makes the application easier to run, not when it adds more services to the diagram.

We use AWS pragmatically: EC2 or managed compute where it fits, RDS for managed relational data, S3 and CloudFront for assets, SES for email, and queues or scheduled processing when workloads need separation.

The application and infrastructure are designed together. Deployment paths, secrets, backups, logs and recovery procedures are part of the build rather than tasks left for the week before launch.

For existing systems, we can migrate or simplify hosting in stages, preserving the working application while reducing avoidable risk and manual deployment work.

What we deliver

A production-ready cloud application environment.

We connect development and operations so the same architecture can be built, deployed and supported.

01

Application cloud architecture

Map compute, database, storage, queues and external services around the application workload.

02

AWS deployment setup

Provision and configure EC2/RDS/S3/CloudFront/SES and related services appropriate to the system.

03

Environment & secrets management

Clear separation of staging/production configuration, credentials and deployment access.

04

Storage & delivery

Secure object storage and CDN delivery for uploads and static assets where appropriate.

05

Backups & recovery

Database and application backup routines with restoration steps that are actually testable.

06

Monitoring & operational handover

Logs, health checks, alerts and runbooks so production does not depend on one person remembering the setup.

How we work

Start with the workload and failure modes, then choose the AWS services.

The goal is a cloud setup your team can understand and operate.

  1. Assess

    Map application traffic, data, storage, email, background work and current deployment constraints.

  2. Design

    Choose the smallest sensible AWS architecture and define environments, access and backup strategy.

  3. Deploy

    Set up infrastructure, application configuration and repeatable releases.

  4. Operate

    Monitor, back up, document and improve based on real production behaviour.

Before you start

Cloud should reduce operational risk, not disguise it.

01 · Ownership

Keep the AWS account yours

Production infrastructure should live in accounts your organisation controls, with least-privilege access for delivery teams.

  • Organisation-owned AWS account
  • Named IAM access
  • Documented billing and regions
  • Recoverable credentials
02 · Reliability

Know what happens when a component fails

Backups, queues, email and deployments need clear failure behaviour before launch.

  • Database restore path
  • Upload/storage recovery
  • Failed-job handling
  • Deployment rollback
FAQ

Questions clients usually ask.

Straight answers about how this work is scoped, delivered and supported.

Ask something else
01Do you only work with large AWS architectures?

No. We prefer the smallest architecture that meets the reliability and growth requirements and avoid unnecessary services.

02Can you migrate an existing application to AWS?

Yes. We can assess the existing hosting, plan the database/files/application move and stage the cutover to minimise operational risk.

03Do you handle AWS security?

We configure application-relevant IAM, access, network and secret practices and can review the environment for avoidable exposure.

04Can you manage deployments after launch?

Yes. This can continue under our maintenance/support service with monitoring, updates and operational improvements.

Start with a conversation

Building on AWS should make operations calmer, not harder.

Tell us what the application does today, where it is hosted and what reliability or scale problem you are trying to solve.
