AWS Cloud Architecture & DevOps

We help deploy, scale, and secure your Rails applications on AWS using modern cloud-native services. From ECS and Fargate containerization to RDS, S3, CloudFront, and CI/CD pipelines, our DevOps expertise ensures your app runs reliably, cost-effectively, and ready for growth.

Where Cloud Architecture & DevOps Help Immediately

  • Scalable Deployments: Containerized Rails apps on AWS ECS/Fargate.
  • High Availability: Multi-AZ RDS setups with automatic failover.
  • Resilient Storage: S3 buckets with versioning, lifecycle rules, and CDN integration.
  • Faster Releases: Automated CI/CD pipelines with zero-downtime deploys.
  • Cost Optimization: Right-sized infrastructure with autoscaling policies.

Seamless AWS Integration

  • Compute: ECS, Fargate, EC2 autoscaling groups.
  • Databases: RDS (Postgres/MySQL), ElastiCache for caching, DynamoDB for key-value stores.
  • Networking: VPC, ALB/ELB, Route 53 for DNS and traffic routing.
  • Observability: CloudWatch, X-Ray, and custom logging dashboards.
