From Zero to Developer-Ready Platform in Two Weeks

Introduction

Building quickly is always a challenge. Building quickly and securely—without sacrificing scalability—is where most growing companies hit a wall. Especially for teams operating in high-compliance environments, the pressure to move fast while keeping everything airtight is real.

This case study covers our engagement with a fast-scaling SaaS company in the data integration space. Operating in North America and serving enterprise clients, their product helps software vendors integrate with dozens of business systems through a single API layer. To support their growth, they needed a cloud platform that was fast to build, easy to replicate across regions, and secure enough to meet the demands of compliance-heavy customers.

We were brought in as both a DevOps consulting partner and the team responsible for their security and compliance readiness. The objectives were clear:

• Stand up a secure, developer-ready platform from scratch.
• Enable quick geographic expansion through automation.
• Ensure infrastructure and practices were audit-ready for SOC 2.

The Challenge

Approach

We stepped in with a clear plan: build it once, build it right, and build it to scale.

Infrastructure from Day One, Designed for Growth

We deployed a clean, production-grade AWS environment using Infrastructure as Code. This included VPCs, EKS clusters, S3, IAM, and DNS—all automated, versioned, and deployed consistently across accounts. The setup followed AWS security best practices and was built to support rapid iteration without the usual growing pains.

Regional Rollouts in 48 Hours

From the beginning, the platform was designed to support expansion. By using Terraform modules and GitOps workflows, we ensured the entire infrastructure could be deployed in new AWS regions with minimal lead time. When the business was ready to expand, we delivered a working environment in two days—no rework, no reconfiguration.

SOC 2 Readiness From the Inside Out

Security wasn’t a checklist; it was baked into every layer of the platform. We implemented strict IAM boundaries, encrypted everything at rest and in transit, set up centralized logging, and built alerting into key services. We also supported documentation, policies, and internal workshops—everything the business needed to meet technical requirements for SOC 2 certification.

Governance with AWS Control Tower and Organizations

To future-proof the setup, we deployed AWS Control Tower and Organizations to create a scalable, governed multi-account structure. It allowed the engineering team to move quickly while staying aligned with the company’s long-term security posture and compliance model.

The Two-Week Impact

By the end of the second week, the development environment was fully operational. CI/CD pipelines were live. Developers were shipping code. There were no blockers, no last-minute infrastructure fixes, and no missing pieces.

We brought in our own internal playbooks—standardized templates, security baselines, and GitOps automation—so we could deliver fast without cutting corners. The development team didn’t have to wait on infrastructure. Instead, they were building, testing, and moving forward.

This wasn’t a temporary boost. It was a head start that shaped the entire trajectory of the platform.
