AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive cloud computing platform, offering over 200 fully featured services. We leverage AWS extensively for building scalable, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
Our Approach
We follow AWS best practices and the Well-Architected Framework to design systems that are:
- Secure: Defense in depth with IAM, KMS, and network isolation
- Reliable: Multi-AZ deployments and automated failover
- Performant: Right-sizing resources and leveraging managed services
- Cost-Optimised: Pay-per-use models and reserved capacity where appropriate
- Operationally Excellent: Infrastructure as Code and automated deployments
Core Services We Use

Networking & Content Delivery
- CloudFront – CDN
- Route 53 – DNS and domain management
- API Gateway – REST and WebSocket APIs
Security & Identity
Application Integration
- SQS – Message queues

Developer Tools
📄️ AWS Amplify
AWS Amplify is a development platform for building secure, scalable mobile and web applications. It provides a set of tools and services that enable frontend and mobile developers to quickly build full-stack applications powered by AWS.
📄️ Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service for creating, publishing, and securing APIs at any scale. It acts as the "front door" for applications to access backend services like Lambda, EC2, or any HTTP endpoint.
📄️ AWS AppSync
AWS AppSync is a managed GraphQL service that simplifies application development by providing a flexible API layer for securely accessing, manipulating, and combining data from multiple sources.
📄️ Amazon Athena
Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyse data directly in S3 using standard SQL. There's no infrastructure to manage - you simply point Athena at your data, define the schema, and start querying.
📄️ Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) that accelerates delivery of websites, APIs, video content, and other web assets. With edge locations worldwide, CloudFront caches content closer to users for faster load times.
📄️ Amazon CloudSearch
Amazon CloudSearch is a managed search service that makes it easy to add search functionality to your application. It handles the complexity of setting up, managing, and scaling a search solution.
📄️ Amazon Cognito
Amazon Cognito provides authentication, authorization, and user management for web and mobile applications. It can scale to millions of users and supports sign-in with social identity providers and enterprise identity via SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect.
📄️ DynamoDB
DynamoDB is one of AWS's most powerful services and one Amazon relies on heavily for their own infrastructure. It's fundamentally different from a traditional RDBMS, but it excels at handling massive data volumes and high throughput. As a serverless database, it scales seamlessly regardless of how much data or traffic you throw at it. The tradeoff? Getting the design right upfront.
📄️ Amazon EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It's the foundational compute service of AWS, offering virtual servers (instances) that you can configure and manage.
📄️ Amazon EventBridge
Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that connects applications using events. It enables event-driven architectures by routing events between AWS services, SaaS applications, and your own applications.
📄️ AWS IAM
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables you to securely control access to AWS services and resources. It's the foundation of AWS security and touches every other service.
📄️ AWS KMS
AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service for creating and controlling cryptographic keys used to encrypt your data. It integrates with most AWS services to provide encryption at rest and in transit.
📄️ AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events without provisioning or managing servers. You pay only for the compute time consumed - there's no charge when code isn't running.
📄️ Amazon RDS
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale relational databases in the cloud. It handles routine database tasks like provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, and scaling.
📄️ Amazon Route 53
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. It routes users to applications by translating domain names into IP addresses, and it can also register domains and perform health checks.
📄️ Amazon S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is object storage built to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere. It's one of AWS's oldest and most reliable services, forming the backbone of countless applications.
📄️ Amazon SES
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cost-effective email service for sending transactional emails, marketing messages, and other types of content to customers.
📄️ Amazon SNS
Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a fully managed pub/sub messaging service that enables you to decouple microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.
📄️ Amazon SQS
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables decoupling and scaling of microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.
