Cloud native · AWS + open source

You bring the idea. We build it on the cloud.

Speedyrails designs and develops cloud projects end-to-end — architectures built on AWS and proven open source technologies, taken from concept to production by the same engineers who will operate them.

How we deliver

From idea to production, without losing the plot.

Discover

We start with your business goal, not a technology choice. Workshops to understand what you're building, who it serves, and what success looks like — plus an honest read on whether AWS funding can support the project.

Design

Architecture, service selection, and — when it reduces risk — a working proof of concept. We choose boring, proven technology over fashionable complexity, and we put the trade-offs in writing.

Build

Everything as code from the first commit: Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, security and observability baked in. You can read, audit, and own every part of what we ship.

Operate

The engineers who designed your platform run it — or hand it over fully documented to your team. Either way, nothing is a black box.

Who we build for

Three situations we know by heart.

Funded startups

The product is validated and the roadmap is aggressive — but the platform can't keep up. We build the AWS foundation that lets a small team ship like a big one.

Software companies modernising

An application that's earning money on an architecture that's costing it. We replatform without stopping the release train.

Regulated businesses

Compliance isn't a phase at the end — it's a design constraint. We build environments where ENS, ISO 27001, or GDPR requirements are met from the first commit.

How we contract

Scoped in writing before we write any code.

Most projects go from kickoff to production in weeks, not quarters — and the timeline is part of the scope document, so you know it before you commit.

A closed scope

What we're building, in what order, and what's out of scope — agreed and written down before the project starts. Changes are negotiated openly, never smuggled in.

"Done" is defined up front

Every deliverable has an acceptance criterion you approve before work begins. When we say it's finished, you already know what that means.

Milestones you can see running

Progress is demonstrated with working software on AWS, not slide decks. You watch the platform grow at every milestone.

We finish what we scope

If something we agreed on isn't delivered, we keep working until it is — at no additional cost. The scope is our commitment, not our starting position.

The toolbox

AWS where it shines. Open source where it wins.

We build with cloud-native and open source technologies that won't lock you into a single vendor's roadmap — running on the AWS services we've been validated to deliver.

Containers — Amazon EKS & ECS (AWS Service Delivery validated)
Databases — Amazon RDS, Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL (validated)
Kubernetes, Helm, and the CNCF ecosystem
Serverless — Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge
Infrastructure as code — Terraform & CloudFormation
CI/CD — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD
Observability — Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch
Caching & messaging — Redis, RabbitMQ, SQS, Kafka
DevSecOps and policy as code
Proof

Validated by AWS for the hard parts.

AWS Service Delivery — Amazon EKSAWS Service Delivery — Amazon ECSAWS Service Delivery — Amazon RDS

Our three AWS Service Delivery designations — EKS, ECS, and RDS — mean Amazon has technically reviewed how we architect and deliver the building blocks most cloud projects depend on.

Suggestions are given by Speedyrails' team as best practice. Nothing is forced or required by Speedyrails.

After launch

The team that built it can keep running it.

Hand the platform to your team fully documented, or leave operations with the engineers who know every corner of it — monitoring, incidents, upgrades, and cost reviews under a monthly retainer.
