AWS Development and Cloud Services
Build and run your software on Amazon Web Services.
AWS development services cover designing, building and running applications on Amazon Web Services. NetOfficials delivers this for B2B clients, from the account layout and network to the application, data and monitoring, so your software runs on infrastructure you understand and own. Moving an existing system onto AWS is covered by our cloud migration services.

What Is Included in Our AWS Development Services
The parts of an AWS project we plan together, so the application and its infrastructure fit.
Architecture Design
A written design that picks the right AWS services for your workload and explains each choice.
Account and Network Setup
Separate accounts, networks and access rules laid out before any workload runs.
Serverless Applications
Functions, queues and event driven flows for work that runs in bursts.
Container Workloads
Applications packaged and run on managed container services.
Databases and Storage
Managed relational and document databases, object storage and backups.
Monitoring and Alerts
Logs, metrics and alarms so problems are seen before your users report them.
Who Our AWS Development Services Suit
Teams usually come to us for AWS from one of three starting points.
-
Product teams
Build a new application on AWS
Design and build an application that uses AWS services from the first sprint.
- Architecture agreed before the build
- Infrastructure written as code
- Demo at the end of each sprint
-
Companies with an AWS account
Fix or tidy what already runs
Review an account that grew without a plan and agree what to change first.
- Review of the current setup
- Written list of changes in priority order
- Changes delivered in sprints
-
Engineering leads
Add AWS skills to your team
Bring in engineers who work inside your process and hand over what they build.
- Team extension or dedicated team
- Work in your repositories
- Documentation at handover
Serverless Functions or Containers on AWS?
Two common ways to run application code on AWS. The right one depends on how your workload behaves, and we recommend one in discovery.
Serverless functions are usually the better fit when
- Traffic is spiky or unpredictable
- Work is triggered by events or schedules
- You want little server management
- Each task is short and independent
| Consideration | Serverless functions | Containers |
|---|---|---|
| Server management | Almost none | Some, even when managed |
| Long running work | Limited by run time | Suits it well |
| Cost when idle | Close to nothing | Pay for running capacity |
| Steady heavy traffic | Can cost more | Often cheaper |
| Portability to other clouds | Tied to AWS services | Easier to move |
| Best for | Event driven and bursty work | Steady services and existing apps |
How We Deliver Your AWS Workloads
Every project moves from a written scope to agreed review points, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Discovery
Workloads, data, access needs and constraints, written into a scope you approve.
Signed scopeArchitecture
A design naming each AWS service, how it connects and why it was chosen.
Approved designFoundation
Accounts, network, access and infrastructure code set up first.
Ready platformBuild and Deploy
The application built in sprints and released through a repeatable pipeline.
Demo every sprintOperate
Monitoring, alerts and runbooks, then a handover with full documentation.
Handover pack
What Affects the Cost of AWS Development
Build cost and AWS running cost are different things, and both depend on your design. These are the main drivers, and we go through each one in discovery.
Number of services
Every extra AWS service adds design, build, test and monitoring work.
Traffic and scale
Peak load and growth drive how much capacity you pay AWS for each month.
Data volume
Storage, transfer and backup choices change both build effort and monthly bills.
Access and governance
Many teams, accounts and approval rules add setup and review work.
Availability needs
Running across several zones or regions costs more than a single zone.
Handover and support
Who runs the platform after launch changes the engagement model.

We agree a communication window that suits your time zone at the start.
Visible Progress
Work is tracked in Jira, with a demo and your feedback at the end of every sprint.
How We Choose the Right AWS Stack
We recommend technology for your project and your team's future, not for our convenience. Three questions guide every choice.
Will it handle your load?
We size the design for your expected users, data and growth, so it does not need rebuilding when the business grows.
Will it fit your systems?
We check how the stack connects with the tools, databases and partners you already rely on before we commit to it.
Can you support it later?
We favour well-supported technology with a wide talent pool, so your own team or any future partner can maintain it.

AWS Development FAQs
What are AWS development services?
They cover designing, building and running applications on Amazon Web Services. That includes the architecture, the infrastructure, the application code and the monitoring around it.
Can you work in our existing AWS account?
Yes. We review what is there first, then agree in writing what to change before we touch anything.
Do you use serverless or containers?
Either, and sometimes both in one system. We recommend one in discovery based on how your workload behaves.
How do you keep AWS bills under control?
We design with running cost in mind, tag resources so spend is visible, and agree the alerts that warn you of unusual spend. We do not promise a figure, because it depends on your usage.
Do we get the infrastructure code?
Yes. The infrastructure is written as code in your repositories, and you receive the full source code and documentation at handover.
Do we need to use AWS at all?
Not always. If another provider suits your team or customers better, we say so in discovery. We also work on Azure and Google Cloud.
