Service · 04 / 05
Cloud & SaaS Solutions
We build cloud-based platforms and SaaS products designed to scale, perform, and stay reliable as your business grows.
Overview
Foundations that hold up under growth.
Built on
Aylward Solutions builds and deploys on AWS: secure, scalable, and ready for real-world load.
A great SaaS product or cloud platform isn't just code. It's infrastructure, architecture, and a thousand quiet decisions that determine whether it falls over at ten users or runs smoothly at ten thousand. We build cloud and SaaS solutions that are designed from the start to handle real growth, real users, and real edge cases.
Whether you're launching a new SaaS idea, migrating an old system to the cloud, or building internal tools that need to scale across a team, we focus on getting the foundations right so the product works today and keeps working as everything around it changes.
What's Included
Five clear deliverables.
-
01
SaaS Product Development
Full SaaS builds from idea to launch.
End-to-end SaaS product builds covering everything from initial architecture decisions to launch: frontend, backend, database, authentication, billing, and hosting. Built with modern stacks (Next.js, Node, Postgres) on reliable cloud providers.
What's typically included
- Frontend built in React or Next.js
- Backend and API design
- Database schema and setup (Postgres or similar)
- Authentication and user management
- Subscription billing via Stripe
- Cloud hosting and deployment
Common use cases
- A founder with a SaaS idea who needs the full product built
- An internal tool being productised and sold to other businesses
-
02
Cloud Migration
Moving existing software onto modern cloud infrastructure.
Existing applications audited and migrated onto modern cloud platforms: AWS, Vercel, Railway, or Render depending on what fits. The goal is to leave the application more stable, faster, and easier to maintain than it was before, not just moved.
What's typically included
- Audit of the existing application and hosting
- Cloud platform selection
- Migration plan with minimal downtime
- Database and environment migration
- Post-migration monitoring and tuning
Common use cases
- A business on legacy shared hosting moving to proper cloud infrastructure
- A team consolidating multiple environments onto a single cloud provider
-
03
Cloud Architecture
Designing scalable, secure, cost-efficient systems.
Cloud architecture designed around the specific needs of the product, balancing performance, cost, scalability, and security. Decisions made deliberately rather than defaulting to whatever the framework suggested.
What's typically included
- Architecture diagrams and documentation
- Cloud provider and service selection
- Networking, storage, and database design
- Security and access control planning
- Cost forecasting and optimisation
Common use cases
- A new product needing the right foundations from day one
- A growing product hitting the limits of its original architecture
-
04
API Development
The connections that let your software talk to other tools, apps, and services.
Custom APIs designed and built as the bridge between systems: a backend service that other software, apps, or business tools can call to share data and trigger actions. Built using Node.js or Python with secure authentication, clean documentation, and reliable hosting.
What's typically included
- API design (REST or GraphQL depending on the use case)
- Authentication and rate limiting
- Database integration
- Auto-generated documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger)
- Reliable cloud hosting and monitoring
Common use cases
- Connecting a website, app, and internal CRM so they stay in sync
- Exposing a business's data or service to partner systems
-
05
Deployment & Operations
Automated deployment, monitoring, and infrastructure that keeps your software running.
The operational layer of software: automated deployment pipelines so changes go live cleanly, monitoring so problems get caught immediately, and infrastructure managed reliably. The goal is software that runs predictably, not software that needs babysitting.
What's typically included
- CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar
- Staging and production environments
- Uptime and error monitoring (Sentry, UptimeRobot)
- Automated backups
- Documented infrastructure
Common use cases
- A team tired of manually deploying and hoping nothing breaks
- A growing product needing real visibility into its health
