Organisations we have worked with
Delivery
How a project runs
The same four stages whether it is a two-week integration or a platform build.
-
1
Discovery
We start with the business problem, not the technical spec: who uses the system, what it must do and what it must not cost.
-
2
Architecture
A design on AWS with a cost estimate, reviewed against the Well-Architected Framework before any code is written.
-
3
Build
Iterative delivery with working software from the first weeks. Infrastructure as code and CI/CD from day one.
-
4
Launch and support
Deployment, handover and documentation. Most clients keep us on under the managed service.

Questions
Common questions
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes. Several clients use us as an extension of their own engineering team, taking ownership of AWS architecture while their developers keep building product.
Who owns the code and the AWS account?
You do. Everything is built in your AWS account and the code is yours. There is no lock-in to Cloudavian.
Can you take over an application someone else built?
Yes. We start with a review of the code and infrastructure, agree what needs attention, and take it on from there.
What happens after launch?
Your choice. We hand over with documentation, or keep running the system under the managed service with defined response times.
