What about serverless cold starts?

Cold starts add 100-500ms on first invocation. We mitigate this with provisioned concurrency for latency-sensitive endpoints, smaller function bundles, and Lambda SnapStart for Java. For most APIs, cold starts are imperceptible to users.

Is serverless cheaper than traditional hosting?

For variable workloads, yes — you pay per execution and scale to zero when idle. For consistently high-traffic applications, a dedicated server may be more cost-effective. We help you model costs before choosing.

Can you use serverless with any frontend?

Absolutely. Serverless backends work with any frontend — React, Angular, Vue, mobile apps, or even other backend services. API Gateway provides standard REST or GraphQL endpoints that any client can consume.

Serverless Architecture, Zero Infrastructure

AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and managed services — pay only for what you use, scale to zero or to millions. Our AI-managed teams build production serverless systems.

Solution: Serverless Stack

Serverless architecture eliminates server management by using managed cloud services that auto-scale and charge per execution. Functions run on demand, databases scale automatically, and infrastructure is defined as code. Serverless is ideal for event-driven workloads, APIs with variable traffic, and teams that want to ship features without managing servers.

Stack Components

AWS Lambda (Compute): Event-driven functions that execute code in response to triggers. Auto-scales from zero to thousands of concurrent executions with per-millisecond billing.
API Gateway (API Layer): Managed API service that handles routing, authentication, rate limiting, and CORS — connecting HTTP requests to Lambda functions.
DynamoDB (Database): Fully managed NoSQL database with single-digit millisecond latency, automatic scaling, and built-in backup and recovery.
S3 + CloudFront (Storage & CDN): Object storage for files and static assets, served globally through CloudFront CDN for fast delivery worldwide.
EventBridge / SQS (Event Bus & Queues): Managed event routing and message queuing for decoupled, event-driven architectures with guaranteed delivery.
