AWS Application Development on Serverless and Containers

AWS development is building applications on Amazon Web Services, using managed services such as Lambda, containers, and databases instead of running your own servers. Syndell helps CTOs and founders build on AWS with cost and security planned from the start, and steps in when the bill keeps growing or deployments keep breaking.

When Clients Call Us Urgently

If one of these sounds familiar, this is where we step in.

We start with an architecture, cost, and security review, then give you a written plan.

Your AWS Bill Keeps Growing and Nobody Knows Why

Idle instances, oversized databases, and data transfer add up. We map costs to services, remove waste, and set budgets and alerts. Waste here is money taken from your product budget.

Deployments Are Manual and Fragile

Infrastructure built by clicking cannot be repeated. We define it as code with Terraform or AWS CDK and add CI/CD, so environments match and rollbacks are quick. Fragile releases slow every feature you ship.

A Security Review Found Open Buckets and Broad Permissions

Public storage, wide access roles, and shared credentials are common findings. We apply least-privilege roles, encryption, and logging, and close gaps in order of risk. These gaps put customer data and audits at risk.

The App Cannot Scale for Launch Day

Single servers and unbuffered queues fail under spikes. We add autoscaling, queues, and caching, then load test before the event. A crash on launch day is expensive and public.

AWS Development Services

Six kinds of AWS application development we deliver, from new builds to rescues.

Serverless Applications

Event-driven APIs and back ends on Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3, sized to your traffic, with AI features through Amazon Bedrock where the product needs them.

Container Applications

Services on Amazon ECS or EKS with automated builds and safe releases.

Back Ends for Web and Mobile Apps

Sign-in with Cognito, APIs, file storage, and push notifications for AWS mobile app development.

Data and Databases

Designs on RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, or DocumentDB. See our DynamoDB and MySQL pages.

Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD

Repeatable environments and deployment pipelines. See DevOps implementation.

Cost, Security, and Support

Architecture reviews, monitoring, budget alerts, and managed support on a monthly retainer or on demand.

Why Build Your Application on AWS?

Less to Operate

Managed services handle servers, patching, and scaling, so your team spends time on the product.

You Pay for What You Use

Many services bill by request or run time, which suits new products and uneven traffic.

A Broad Service Range

Databases, queues, search, machine learning, and monitoring are available under one account.

Global Reach and Compliance Programs

Regions worldwide and audited compliance programs help with data location and customer requirements.

Case Studies

Trucker's Finder

Transportation & Logistics

This data platform turns scattered fleet and driver information into something a sales team can actually use. Collecting it by hand wasn’t sustainable: public sources are unstructured and often outdated, so the work needed a single system that scrapes, cleans, and organizes records, then makes them easy to search, filter, and turn into leads.

FAQs

How Much Does AWS Application Development Cost?

There are two costs: our development fees and your monthly AWS bill. Fees depend on features, architecture, integrations, security needs, and pipelines. The AWS bill depends on traffic, data, and services used. We scope fees individually and estimate the AWS bill in the proposal.

How Long Does an AWS Application Take to Build?

It depends on features, architecture, integrations, and compliance needs. We give a timeline after scoping and split it into milestones, so you see working services early. A migration is planned in stages, with a cutover plan agreed up front, so nothing surprises your users on switch day.

How Will We Keep Control of Our AWS Account and Costs?

The environment lives in your own AWS account, so you own it from day one. We agree overlap hours at kickoff and report through Slack, email, and video calls, and we share cost reports at each milestone. Syndell has offices in Middletown, Delaware, Manchester, UK, and Ahmedabad, India.

Should We Choose Serverless or Containers on AWS?

Choose serverless for event-driven APIs, spiky traffic, and small teams that want little operations work. Choose containers for long-running services, steady load, or apps that already run in Docker. Many systems mix both, so we decide after reviewing your workload and team.

Can You Add AI Features to an AWS Application?

Yes. Amazon Bedrock gives access to foundation models from companies such as Anthropic, Meta, and Amazon through one API, with Knowledge Bases to ground answers in your data and Guardrails to filter output. Amazon SageMaker AI suits custom models. Model access varies by Region, so we check availability first and forecast usage costs.

How Do You Secure an Application on AWS?

We use least-privilege access roles, encryption at rest and in transit, private networking for databases, secret storage, and logging with alerts. We review the design against the AWS Well-Architected security pillar. Syndell is also ISO 27001 certified, and security checks are part of each sprint.

Can You Move Our Existing Application to AWS?

Yes. We review the app and its dependencies, then recommend a lift-and-shift, a partial redesign, or a rebuild. Our cloud migration team plans the cutover and a rollback path, so users see as little downtime as possible and you can reverse course if something fails.
