AWS · QalbIT

AWS is not the point. The wait is.

We build with AWS for teams whose users are waiting too long: measured outcomes, written scope, and IP in your accounts.

Nobody asks for AWS. They ask why the dashboard takes four seconds and the form loses their input.

What we build with AWS


AWS architecture, migration and operations that stay costed.

We help teams use AWS where it shines: API services, background jobs, file storage and the databases behind them, sized to the traffic they actually get, not the traffic they hope for.

  1. API & compute architecture

    Services on ECS or Lambda sized to the actual traffic shape, not a guess made at design time.

  2. Managed databases

    RDS for PostgreSQL or MySQL, sized correctly and backed up on a schedule someone has actually tested.

  3. Storage & delivery

    S3 and CloudFront for files and static assets, so the application server stops serving them.

  4. Cost & security review

    An audit of what is running, what it costs and what is a security risk, before anything changes.

  5. Migration to AWS

    An existing app or another cloud moved to AWS in stages, with a tested rollback at each one.

  6. Performance & cost rescue

    The real bottleneck traced with CloudWatch and X-Ray, then fixed: measured before and after.

The AWS layer over the stack that carries it
AWS sits at the surface: the stack behind it matters just as much

How AWS projects run here


A practical AWS process, from audit to production.

We keep the AWS process structured but lightweight, so we can deliver a working build in real time without surprising you on quality, timeline or budget.

  1. Infrastructure audit

    We read the existing infrastructure or the requirements, then propose the service architecture, IAM boundaries and cost model.

    Week 1

  2. Architecture & IAM design

    Least-privilege roles and a service architecture sized to the traffic: the decisions that stop a bill and a blast radius both growing unchecked.

    Week 1–2

  3. Implementation & integration

    Build or refactor components, wire them to APIs, handle loading, error and empty states properly.

    Sprint by sprint

  4. Testing, hardening & rollout

    Automated tests on critical paths, accessibility and performance passes, then a staged release.

    Pre-launch

  5. Ongoing support & features

    A standing team continues to ship features and keeps dependencies current.

    Post-launch

Where AWS earns its keep


AWS use cases we most often deliver.

Most of our AWS work is infrastructure that has to stay up under real traffic and stay predictable in cost, rather than a one-off deployment.

  • API services

    Node.js or NestJS services on ECS or Lambda, chosen by traffic shape rather than by default.

  • Background jobs & queues

    Scheduled and event-driven work taken off the request path so a slow job never blocks a fast one.

  • File storage & delivery

    S3 and CloudFront for uploads and static assets, cached and served without the application server in the loop.

  • Cost-constrained scaling

    Autoscaling with a sensible floor and ceiling, so growth does not arrive as a surprise invoice.

The stack around AWS


The AWS stack we typically use at QalbIT.

We usually pair AWS with modern tooling: infrastructure as code, a typed application layer and a tested data layer, so the whole stack stays maintainable and predictable as the team changes.

  • Core

    • ECS, Lambda, RDS and S3
    • Terraform or AWS CDK
    • CloudWatch and X-Ray
    • IAM least-privilege roles
  • Data & messaging

    • RDS (PostgreSQL / MySQL) or DynamoDB
    • S3 for object storage
    • SQS / SNS for queues and events
    • Secrets Manager & Parameter Store
  • Reliability & cost

    • Auto Scaling groups
    • CloudFront CDN
    • Multi-AZ failover
    • Budgets & cost alarms
  • Quality & observability

    • AWS Config for compliance
    • GuardDuty for threat detection
    • CloudTrail audit logs
    • Sentry for application errors

We adapt to what you already run. If your team already runs on a different cloud or infrastructure-as-code tool, we work inside it rather than rewriting for preference.

AWS in production


Three products where AWS is the surface.

Different sectors, same discipline: typed components, predictable state, and the client owning the code.

Start here


Hire AWS developers who will still be proud of the code in year three.

Share your current front end, goals and the problems you want to solve. We will review your requirements, look at any existing code and propose a practical AWS plan that matches your stage and budget.

  • A written scope with the exclusions listed
  • An architecture recommendation for state and components
  • The name of the engineer who would lead it
  • Free, and yours to keep either way

AWS development: frequently asked questions

Common questions about architecture, migrations and cost control, plus what happens after launch.

Ask us directly →
Hosting and infrastructure for products that need to stay up under real traffic and stay predictable in cost: API services, background jobs, file storage and the databases behind them. If your current hosting bill is a surprise every month, AWS done properly is usually part of the fix.
Both. For an existing account we start with a short audit: what is running, what it costs, what is a security risk, and what should change before we touch anything.
Node.js or NestJS services on ECS or Lambda depending on the traffic shape, PostgreSQL or MySQL on RDS, and S3 with CloudFront for static assets and file storage.
A focused first release is usually six to ten weeks. A full product with integrations, billing and reporting runs ten to sixteen. You see a working staging environment in the first two weeks.
Yes. Most clients keep a small standing team for monitoring, cost review and scaling changes, with 30 days notice to stop or scale down.
Right-sized instances instead of default sizes, autoscaling with a sensible floor and ceiling, and a monthly cost review so a forgotten resource does not run for a year before anyone notices. We report the numbers, not just the architecture.
Send us the goal and access to review the current setup, if there is one. You get a written scope, an architecture recommendation and a price range within 48 hours, free, and yours to keep either way.
