AWS DEPLOYMENT

AWS deployment for startups

Get your app running on AWS — right-sized for your traffic and budget, not over-engineered for a scale you haven't reached yet. Production-ready infrastructure in days, not weeks.

AWS services we set up

We use only the services your app actually needs. No unnecessary complexity.

ECS & Fargate

Run Docker containers on AWS without managing servers. We set up task definitions, services, auto-scaling, and load balancers.

EC2 & Auto Scaling

For apps that need full server control. We configure instances, AMIs, auto-scaling groups, and launch templates.

S3 & CloudFront

Static sites, SPAs, and asset hosting — deployed globally with CloudFront CDN, custom domains, and SSL.

RDS & ElastiCache

Managed databases with automated backups, read replicas, and connection pooling. Redis caching when you need speed.

VPC & Networking

Private subnets, security groups, NAT gateways, and VPN — secure networking that follows AWS best practices.

IAM & Security

Least-privilege IAM roles, secrets management with Secrets Manager, and security group configurations.

AWS cost optimization built in

Most startups overspend on AWS by 30–50%. We prevent that from day one.

Right-sized instances

We pick the instance type and size that matches your actual load — not the default.

Billing alerts

Automated alerts before you hit spending thresholds. No surprise bills at month-end.

Reserved capacity

For predictable workloads, we set up Savings Plans or Reserved Instances to cut costs 30–70%.

AWS deployment FAQ

Is AWS too expensive for a startup?

Not if configured correctly. Most startups overspend because of oversized instances, forgotten resources, or missing reserved capacity. We right-size everything from day one and set up billing alerts so you always know what you're spending.

Can you migrate my app from another provider to AWS?

Yes. We handle migrations from DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Render, Heroku, and other providers to AWS — with minimal downtime.

Do I need Kubernetes on AWS?

Probably not, at least not yet. For most startups, ECS with Fargate is simpler, cheaper, and easier to maintain. We recommend Kubernetes (EKS) only when your scale or architectural requirements genuinely demand it.

What about Infrastructure as Code?

We deliver all infrastructure as code — typically AWS CDK or Terraform. You get reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure from the start.
