AWS Development Services

AWS development services cover the design, build, deployment, and management of applications and infrastructure on Amazon Web Services. This includes cloud application development, migrations from on-premises or other cloud providers to AWS, serverless architecture, DevOps and CI/CD pipeline implementation, data engineering on AWS, and ongoing managed services for production environments. A specialist AWS development company like Commerce Pundit manages the full lifecycle from architecture design through deployment, monitoring, and cost optimisation.

AWS development involves building new applications and infrastructure on the platform, making architecture decisions, writing application code, and configuring services to work together correctly. AWS managed services involve the ongoing operational management of an existing AWS environment, including monitoring, cost optimization, security patching, incident response, and infrastructure updates. Most production AWS environments need both: development work to build and evolve the application, and managed services to keep the infrastructure performing reliably between development cycles. 

Custom AWS development builds cloud infrastructure and applications specifically around your requirements rather than deploying a generic template or pre-configured architecture pattern. You need it when your application has specific performance, data, security, or integration requirements that standard configurations do not address. Ecommerce platforms with complex caching needs, SaaS applications with multi-tenant data isolation requirements, and enterprise systems integrating with multiple external data sources are among the clearest cases for a custom rather than template-based AWS architecture. 

AWS consulting involves reviewing your current or planned infrastructure against best practices, identifying architectural risks, cost inefficiencies, and security gaps, and producing clear recommendations your team can act on. Application development on AWS involves building or rebuilding applications using the managed services the platform provides. Most businesses benefit from consulting before significant development work begins, because architectural decisions made early in an AWS project are expensive to reverse once infrastructure is provisioned and applications are built around it. 

We follow a structured migration methodology that begins with a full assessment of the source environment, mapping each application and data store to the appropriate AWS target service. Migration is executed in phases that maintain availability throughout, with a parallel AWS environment built and validated before any traffic or data is moved. We test performance, security, and integration behaviour in the target environment before cutover, and maintain rollback capability until production validation confirms the migration has been successful. 

Cloud development solutions are applications and infrastructure built to run on cloud platforms rather than on physical servers. AWS supports cloud-native development through managed services that handle compute, storage, databases, networking, and security without requiring teams to manage the underlying hardware. This allows engineering teams to build and scale applications faster because the platform handles infrastructure concerns that would otherwise require dedicated operations staff to manage. AWS provides the broadest range of managed services of any cloud provider, which makes it the most common choice for cloud development across industries. 

Yes. AWS cost optimization is a common engagement for businesses that have grown their AWS usage without systematic cost management. The most common areas where costs can be reduced include oversized EC2 instances that can be right-sized or replaced with Reserved Instances, underutilised RDS databases, S3 storage lifecycle policies that are not moving infrequently accessed data to cheaper tiers, and development environments running at full capacity when they are not in use. We assess your current bill and architecture together and identify specific, quantifiable savings before implementing any changes. 

We have experience running Shopify Plus, Magento (Adobe Commerce), WooCommerce, and custom-built ecommerce platforms on AWS. The specific AWS architecture varies by platform and traffic requirements. Magento and custom platforms typically involve EC2 or ECS for the application layer, RDS Aurora for the database, ElastiCache for session and object caching, and CloudFront for CDN. Shopify Plus hosted stores use AWS for supplementary infrastructure such as custom applications, data pipelines, and integrations rather than the core commerce engine. 

The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your current infrastructure, the applications or workloads you want to run on AWS, your performance and budget requirements, and your timeline. From there, we scope the engagement and provide a proposal covering architecture approach, timeline, and investment. Whether you are migrating an existing environment, building a new cloud application, or looking to optimize an AWS setup that has grown in complexity, the initial conversation is the right starting point with no obligation to proceed.
