Our AI-Enabled Serverless Development Services
From building event-driven microservices to migrating legacy systems, our comprehensive serverless offerings provide the expertise you need to build scalable, resilient, and cost-effective applications for the future.
Custom Serverless API & Microservices Development
We build secure, scalable, and high-performance APIs and microservices using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and other FaaS platforms. This approach allows you to build complex applications as a collection of small, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled individually.
- Build RESTful and GraphQL APIs that scale automatically with demand.
- Develop independent microservices for improved fault tolerance and faster updates.
- Ensure secure API access with robust authentication and authorization mechanisms.
Event-Driven Architecture Design
We design and implement systems where services communicate asynchronously through events. Using tools like Amazon EventBridge or Azure Event Grid, we create highly decoupled and resilient applications that can easily adapt to new business requirements and integrate with third-party systems.
- Decouple your application components for maximum flexibility and resilience.
- Enable real-time data synchronization and processing across your entire ecosystem.
- Build scalable systems that can handle unpredictable workloads and complex workflows.
Serverless Data Processing Pipelines
Process massive volumes of data in real-time or in batches without managing a single server. We build powerful ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines triggered by data events (e.g., a file upload to S3), perfect for analytics, image/video processing, and log analysis.
- Automate data transformation and enrichment tasks at scale.
- Create real-time analytics pipelines to gain instant insights from your data.
- Drastically reduce the cost and complexity of big data processing.
Legacy Application to Serverless Migration
Modernize your monolithic applications by strategically migrating them to a serverless architecture. We follow a proven methodology to break down your legacy systems into smaller, manageable microservices, reducing technical debt and unlocking new levels of agility and scalability.
- Reduce operational costs by eliminating dedicated server maintenance.
- Improve application performance, scalability, and reliability.
- Enable faster feature development and innovation by modernizing your codebase.
Serverless for AI/ML Model Serving & Inference
Deploy your machine learning models as scalable, cost-effective API endpoints. Serverless is the perfect solution for hosting inference models, as you only pay when the model is actively being used, making it ideal for applications with variable traffic patterns.
- Serve ML models with high availability and automatic scaling.
- Significantly lower the cost of deploying and maintaining AI/ML applications.
- Integrate AI capabilities seamlessly into your existing applications via simple API calls.

Serverless Success Stories
Scalable Backend for a High-Growth FinTech App
A rapidly growing FinTech startup needed a backend that could handle unpredictable, spiky user traffic for their mobile payment app without over-provisioning expensive servers. Their small team lacked dedicated DevOps resources to manage complex infrastructure.
Real-Time Image Processing for an Online Marketplace
A major e-commerce platform was struggling with a slow and costly process for resizing and watermarking thousands of new product images daily. The existing server-based solution was a bottleneck, delaying how quickly new products could go live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Serverless computing (or Function-as-a-Service, FaaS) is a cloud execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers. You write and deploy code in the form of functions, and you only pay for the compute resources consumed when your code is running. You don't have to worry about managing or scaling the underlying servers.
You are typically billed based on two main factors: the number of times your functions are executed (invocations) and the duration of each execution, measured in gigabyte-seconds (a combination of memory allocated and time run). This pay-per-use model means you never pay for idle time, which can lead to significant cost savings for applications with variable or infrequent traffic.
A "cold start" refers to the initial latency experienced when a function is invoked for the first time or after a period of inactivity. The cloud provider needs to provision a container and load your code, which adds a slight delay. We mitigate this through several strategies, including provisioned concurrency (keeping functions warm), choosing appropriate runtimes (like Go or Rust), and optimizing code package size to ensure your application remains responsive.
While incredibly versatile, serverless excels at event-driven, stateless workloads. It's perfect for APIs, microservices, data processing, IoT backends, and scheduled tasks. It is less suitable for long-running, stateful applications like a database server or a persistent websocket connection, where a container or VM-based approach might be more appropriate. Our architects help you determine the best fit for your use case.
Security is a shared responsibility. The cloud provider secures the underlying infrastructure, while we secure your application code and configuration. We follow the principle of least privilege, assigning very specific IAM roles and permissions to each function. We also manage secrets securely, validate inputs to prevent injection attacks, and use automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities in your code and its dependencies.
