Cloud application development for apps that scale

Apps built for the cloud can scale up for busy periods, recover quickly from failures and only use the resources they need. Our cloud application development team designs and builds cloud-native apps on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

What is cloud application development?

Cloud application development is designing and building software to run on cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. Cloud-native apps use managed services, serverless functions, containers and automated scaling, so they stay fast and reliable as demand changes.

Services

What we build

We design scalable apps with reliability and running costs in mind, as well as features.

Cloud-native apps

New applications designed around managed cloud services.

Serverless development

AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Cloud Run for event-driven features.

Containerised apps

Docker and Kubernetes setups for complex workloads.

App modernisation

Re-architect older apps so they can scale in the cloud.

Data and storage

Managed databases, file storage and data pipelines.

Security and monitoring

Identity, encryption, logging and alerts from day one.

Is it right for you?

When to build cloud-native

  • Traffic is unpredictable or seasonal
  • You need high availability for a customer-facing product
  • Your current app struggles to scale
  • You want to pay only for the resources you use

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
AWS, Azure or Google Cloud?
All three are excellent. The best choice depends on your existing tools, team skills and the services your app needs. We'll recommend one.
How much does cloud application development cost?
It depends on your requirements: features, scale, integrations and security needs. We also estimate ongoing cloud running costs so there are no surprises. After a free discovery call you get an itemised proposal.
What does serverless mean?
Your code runs in small functions managed by the cloud provider. There are no servers to maintain, and you're charged only when the code runs.
Can you move our existing app to the cloud?
Yes. We can migrate it as is, or modernise it to take advantage of cloud services.
How do you keep cloud apps secure?
Least-privilege access, encryption, secure networking, logging and regular reviews against cloud security best practice.
Who owns the cloud account?
You do. Infrastructure is set up in your own cloud account and documented.
