An AWS practice, not a generalist agency
Cloudavian designs, builds, runs and supports applications on AWS for UK private- and public-sector organisations. AWS is all we do.
The work
Build, then run
We are an AWS Partner. Engineers here design, build and deploy business applications, then keep them in production under a managed service with defined SLAs.
The same team also builds AI automations on Amazon Bedrock, and runs Talon, a fixed-price security assessment for AWS-hosted applications.
- Serverless applications on AWS Lambda
- QuickSight dashboards and embedded analytics
- AI automations with Bedrock and RAG
- APIs, integrations and data pipelines
- Infrastructure as code with CDK
- Ongoing support and managed services
Approach
How we work
Partners, not suppliers
We get involved in the business problem, not only the technical specification.
AWS only
One platform, known in depth, means faster delivery and fewer surprises.
Full lifecycle
One team from the first conversation through to production support.
Practical, not academic
Maintainable systems and sensible architecture over clever ones.
Clients
Who we have worked with
Private sector: Aryza, Boxphish, Service Monitor and Vitaccess. Public sector: Welsh Government, Education Authority Northern Ireland, and South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust.
