Serverless Consulting Services
On-shore, outsourced Serverless computing services
Outsourced Serverless development eliminates the need for traditional server management, allowing developers to focus solely on writing code and delivering value to end-users. Our on-shore engineers will streamline your organization’s journey through the entire software development lifecycle, helping design, implement, and optimize your server-side software functions.
Trust Us with Serverless Architecture
At ProDev, we’re engineers, not recruiters. We know exactly what skills engineers need to successfully create serverless applications and deployment practices. We are experts in designing and implementing serverless solutions as well as seamlessly transitioning applications to a more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective model. From serverless function deployment to optimizing workflows on cloud platforms like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, we can empower you to embrace the future of computing while ensuring your software operates with agility, efficiency, and scalability.
Other reasons to partner with us include:
Our team of on-shore engineers and developers are located in the United States and Canada, ensuring seamless communication and unmatched reliability.
Get the right type of staffing you need at each phase of your project. Finished with your server side refactoring? Swap for a Project Manager and move other efforts forward.
If you’re not completely satisfied with your engineer, developer, consultant, or any resource within the first 40 hours, let them go and we won’t charge you a cent.
Get access to more than just infrastructure management talent. We staff for Software Development, Data Engineering, Q/A, Project Management, UI/UX Design, and Business Analyst positions too.
We offer bi-weekly invoicing and postpaid billing for most clients, ensuring pay-as-you-go flexibility. Plus, we include detailed timesheet reports.
We match your pace, but you drive the engagement with the control to order a zero-notice stand-down or termination.
Common Tools in Serverless Architectures
Serverless applications operate on an event-driven architecture, where functions are triggered by specific events such as HTTP requests, database updates, or file uploads. The term “serverless” is a bit of a misnomer; it doesn’t mean there are no servers involved, but rather, developers are abstracted from server management tasks. Cloud providers and DevOps consultants handle the infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on writing code without worrying about provisioning or scaling.
Our Serverless management services include, but are not limited to:
AWS Lambdas and Step Functions
As a pioneer in the serverless space, AWS Lambda allows developers to run code without server-side worries. It supports multiple programming languages, scales automatically, and integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, making it our go-to choice for many serverless applications.
For orchestrating workflows in a serverless environment, AWS Step Functions allows developers to coordinate multiple AWS services into a seamless workflow. It provides a visual representation of workflow steps and facilitates the creation of scalable and resilient applications.
Azure Functions
Microsoft’s answer to Lambdas is Azure Functions, which allows a serverless computing service for building event-driven applications. Developers can write functions in various languages, and Azure Functions seamlessly integrates with Azure services, offering flexibility and ease of use, if Microsoft is your cloud provider of choice. (Note: Google offers similar technologies under the same name on the Google Cloud Platform.)
Open-source Serverless Development
The Serverless Framework is an open-source tool that simplifies the deployment of serverless applications across different cloud providers. It supports AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more, providing a consistent and developer-friendly experience. Open-source can often provide convenient and cost-effective solutions, expert ProDev engineers are well-trained to help design and drive architecture across multiple cloud providers or instances.
How Outsourced Infrastructure Management As Service Works
If you plan to harness Serverless architectures such that Development can focus on writing code and delivering features, leading to faster development cycles, our team is ready to help. Whether you need a single specialist or a full team, we offer flexible engagement models to meet your specific needs.
Serverless Staff Augmentation Services
Best when managing the project in-house and combining our resources with internal staff
Whether you’re looking to strictly engage consultants to increase velocity or need additional support to expand scope, our staff augmentation services are designed to help you temporarily expand your team quickly and reliably. We’ll work with your project managers to get you Serverless support plus any Development, QA, or other talent needed to take your project to the finish line.
Serverless Software Development Outsourcing
Best if you need project management support in addition to staff augmentation services
You may have limited or potentially no internal resources to assist with your development efforts. When you partner with us for outsourced development services, not only do you get access to a complete software development team, we’ll manage the entire project from start to finish.
Project Ideation and Product Design
Best if you’re not ready for development yet and need some help getting your project started
If you have an idea for a project that uses Serverless, but you need guidance getting it off the ground, let us support you with product ideation and design services. Once complete, you can take your infrastructure and get development launched, or you can get started right away with an engineering staff that’s already familiar with your project.
Our 5-Step Process
Regardless of the engagement model you’re interested in, every ProDev partnership follows a 5-Step Process
Request a discovery call and we’ll schedule time to talk through your project, your goals, and your staff augmentation needs.
The Master Services Agreement lays a foundation for the relationship and enables the candidate-screening process – it in no way obligates you to continue nor is there any payment due at this stage.
We will match candidates to your needs and present them to you – or if you like we can just make what we think is the best assignment and proceed.
Once the team is defined, one resource or several, we capture the team details and effort scope in an SOW. This simple and short document attaches to the MSA and we can add SOW’s downstream as needed.
Next up is a kickoff call and then the magic starts to happen. We absolutely do not simply throw bodies over the wall – we stay engaged closely with you as the work proceeds through regular communication and reporting. You get to see and test deliverables as they evolve.
Common Questions About Serverless Management
For clients looking to build their infrastructure management team over time, we are open to conversion conversations after a resource has been engaged for at least one year.
Good developers are busy developers, so it might take us up to 1-2 weeks to present candidates; that said, we work in a dynamic landscape and sometimes we can deploy within a few days.
Our developers remotely telecommute, but typically they are willing to meet in person to launch an engagement and to participate in periodic on-site reviews.
Yes, our development consultants and infrastructure engineers will adopt a schedule friendly to your teams and offices.
In addition to infrastructure management, we can staff for Software Development Services, UI/UX, Project Management, DevOps, and QA positions.
