Cloud software development on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud

Cloud Software Development Services

Software built for the cloud it runs on, by engineers who also run it.

Dedicatted designs, builds and operates cloud-native software for enterprises and product companies. SaaS platforms, customer and internal applications, APIs and integrations, serverless and event-driven systems, and the modernization of applications that predate the cloud. Senior engineers work AI-first on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, with a fixed-scope first phase so the price and the plan are known before the build starts.

What is cloud software development?

  • What is cloud software development?

    Cloud software development builds applications for the cloud they run on, using managed services, containers and serverless components, infrastructure as code and automated delivery, so the software scales, recovers and ships without a data centre behind it.

  • What do cloud software development services include?

    Architecture and platform choice, the build of the application and its APIs, the infrastructure as code and CI/CD it ships through, security and compliance controls, observability, and the operations that keep it running, on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.

  • What does a cloud software development company do?

    It brings the architects and engineers who have built and run software on the cloud before, designs for cost and resilience from the first sprint, and delivers working software into your own accounts and repositories rather than a demo in theirs.

When cloud software development is the right call

  1. A product has to ship on the cloud

    A SaaS platform, a customer portal or an internal system that has to scale, meet compliance and ship weekly from day one.

  2. An application predates the cloud

    A monolith on servers or a legacy platform that costs more each year and blocks every change. Modernization in phases, not a rewrite you cannot finish.

  3. AI has to be part of the product

    An assistant, an agent or a model inside the application, with the evaluation, guardrails and operations that production demands.

Most cloud products start with the first-phase build and continue with a team. The scoping call says which, in one hour.

Book the scoping call

How does a cloud software project run?

  • How do companies use cloud software development services?

    To launch a SaaS product or a customer platform, to replace an application that no longer scales, to add AI features to software that already runs, and to move products between clouds when the contract or the architecture changes.

  • What is the cloud software development process?

    Scope, architect, build, release, operate. A scoping call and a proposal within five days, an architecture and cloud foundations as code, sprints that ship to production from the first weeks, and managed operations after launch if you want them.

  • How long does it take to build cloud software?

    A first release typically ships in six to twelve weeks. A product roadmap continues with a monthly team. Modernization runs in fixed-scope phases, each priced after the first, with the business running throughout.

How cloud software development works with us

Engineers use AI at every stage. A person signs off every release.

  1. Days 1 to 5

    Scope and propose

    The product, the users, the constraints and the cloud are understood, and a proposal names the engineers and the price.

    • Named engineers within five days
    • A fixed-scope first phase, priced
  2. Weeks 1 to 3

    Architecture and foundations

    The architecture is chosen for cost, resilience and compliance, and the cloud foundations, pipelines and environments are built as code.

    • Architecture decisions written down
    • Foundations and CI/CD as code
  3. Weeks 4 to 12

    Build and release

    Features ship to production in sprints, with automated tests, security checks and observability in every release.

    • Working software from the first sprints
    • Every release tested and observable
  4. After launch

    Operate and grow

    The software is run under SLA on managed operations if you want it, and the team continues on the roadmap, monthly.

    • Managed operations under SLA
    • A team that stays on the roadmap

Software that runs the way it was built

The method is the same for a SaaS product and an internal platform. Architecture for the cloud, code in your accounts, operations from day one.

  • 5 days from the scoping call to named engineers and a price
  • 6 to 12 weeks to a first release in production
  • 3 clouds AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, chosen for the product
  • 24/7 operations under SLA after launch, on managed services

Delivered under the controls audited for our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs, in your own cloud accounts and repositories.

What are the benefits of cloud software development?

  • Why hire a cloud software development company?

    Because the cloud is easy to start on and hard to run well. A partner brings the architects who have paid for the wrong decisions before, the platform patterns that keep cost and resilience in check, and engineers who ship weekly from the start.

  • What makes software cloud-native?

    Managed services instead of servers, containers or functions instead of hand-built hosts, infrastructure as code, automated delivery, observability built in, and a design that scales out and recovers on its own.

  • How does cloud software reduce cost?

    Pay for what runs, scale down what does not, retire the hardware and the licences behind the old application, and operate with a smaller team. In the modernizations we publish, infrastructure and maintenance costs fell by 45 to 70 percent.

FAQ

Which cloud do you build on?

AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, chosen for the product, the data it holds and the team that will run it. We are an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and work with Azure and Google Cloud.

Do you build SaaS products?

Yes. Multi-tenant SaaS platforms, customer portals and internal applications, with the tenancy, billing, security and observability designed in from the architecture phase.

Can you modernize an existing application?

Yes, in fixed-scope phases with the business running. Containers, managed services and pipelines replace the old hosting step by step. See our application modernization services.

Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?

You do, from the first commit. Everything is built in your repositories and your cloud accounts, under your access controls.

How do you keep cloud costs under control?

Architecture decisions are costed before they are made, environments scale down when idle, and cost is a metric on the same dashboards as latency and errors from the first release.

Can you run the software after launch?

Yes. Managed operations under SLA, with monitoring, incident response and release support, from the engineers who built it. See DevOps as a Service.

How do you use AI in delivery?

Our engineers use AI at every stage, from architecture options and code to tests, documentation and reviews. Every change is reviewed and signed by an engineer before it ships.

What does cloud software development cost?

The scoping call is free. The first phase is fixed scope and priced in the proposal within five days, and a continuing team is priced per named engineer, monthly. The drivers are the integrations, the compliance zones and the release cadence, not the cloud itself. There is no hourly billing on a fixed-scope phase.

How do I choose a cloud development company?

Ask for the architects who will design the product, not a sales deck. Ask to see infrastructure as code from a previous build, how cost and resilience were designed in, and who runs the software after launch. Then ask for a fixed-scope first phase with a price.

Cloud software development company on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud

Dedicatted provides cloud software development services for enterprises and product companies, from architecture and cloud foundations to SaaS platforms, customer and internal applications, APIs and integrations, and the modernization of applications that predate the cloud. The work sits inside our engineering services, next to software development outsourcing and AI-driven modernization, and is delivered by an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner.

Cloud application development services

Our cloud application development services cover the whole life of a product, from the architecture and the cloud foundations to the releases that follow and the operations that keep them running. Cloud software developers, architects and DevOps engineers work as one team, AI-first, in your own AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud accounts.

We support businesses with

  • cloud-native application development on managed services, containers and serverless
  • SaaS development services, from tenancy and billing to observability
  • API and integration development
  • cloud application modernization in fixed-scope phases
  • AI features inside the product, with evaluation and guardrails
  • managed operations under SLA after launch

Cloud-native application development

Cloud-native application development means software designed for the cloud it runs on. Managed databases and queues, containers on Kubernetes or functions on demand, infrastructure as code, automated pipelines and observability from the first release, so the application scales out and recovers without a person on a console.

SaaS development services

Our SaaS development services design multi-tenant platforms with the tenancy model, billing, security boundaries and compliance zones decided in the architecture phase, and ship a first release in six to twelve weeks that the same team then grows month by month.

Cloud application modernization

Applications that predate the cloud are modernized in fixed-scope phases while the business keeps running. Containers and managed services replace the old hosting, pipelines replace manual releases, and each phase is priced before it starts.

What cloud software development costs

Cloud development services costs follow the scope, not the cloud. The first phase is fixed scope and priced in the proposal within five days, a continuing team is priced per named engineer per month, and the drivers are the number of integrations, the compliance zones and the release cadence. The scoping call is free.

How to choose a cloud software development company

Look for the architects who will design the product, infrastructure as code from a previous build, a clear answer on who operates the software after launch, and a fixed-scope first phase with a price. Location matters less than the time zone overlap and the seniority of the engineers you will actually work with.
