Serverless Application Development Services

Northell has extensive experience in developing next-gen solutions with serverless application development services. We help businesses of any size develop reliable, fast, and easily scalable apps with serverless architecture. Our team is always in tune with the latest trends and disrupting technologies in the digital environment, so we work with one of the fastest-growing cloud services provided by AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
The serverless architecture allows us to develop an optimized cloud infrastructure with high scalability and pay-per-use capabilities in less time and at a lower cost. We leverage this powerful technology to build cost-efficient, sustainable, future-proof serverless applications that better meet your users' expectations and quickly adapt to change at scale.

Our Serverless Application Development Key Points

  • Automatic scalability

    Serverless architecture offers more flexibility and greater scalability to meet real-time computing demands. The serverless architecture allows applications to scale up and down automatically according to traffic fluctuations. Automatic scaling makes it easy to scale as more users grow and prevents unexpected outages.

  • Reduced operational complexity and costs

    There is no wastage of capacity, resources, and costs if implementing the best-in-class serverless architecture. When running a serverless app, you need to pay precisely for the time your app is used. In other words, the resources required to run applications get provisioned when they are needed, which in turn, reduces operational complexity and costs.

  • High security

    Northell meets all global and industry-specific security and compliance requirements when building serverless applications, including SOC, PCI, ISO, HIPAA, etc. Our team applies top security practices and regularly tests your app to gain the required level of reliability according to CI/CD approach. We also implement role-based access with Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Cognito user authentication to secure your cloud infrastructure and prevent malicious access.

  • Smooth integrations

    We have experienced in-house experts ready to integrate AI, ML-based services, and third-party libraries in your serverless app. We maintain smooth and secure integration throughout the process to avoid disrupting ongoing operations and prevent data corruption.

  • No server management

    There is no need to manage the provisioning and maintenance of servers. With serverless app development services, you get a dedicated team to take care of the entire runtime environment to install, administer or maintain services and the whole server infrastructure. As a result, you free up your time and focus more on strategic business development.

  • Reduced latency

    When building apps with serverless architecture, it’s easier to handle a large number of users worldwide. Such an architecture ensures global coverage and improved response times with the app. That results in low latency and keeps your system running smoothly under any conditions globally.

1 Product discovery and planning

The main goal of this stage is to analyze your business needs and project requirements. We organize workshops and interviews to collect as much information as possible, create technical documentation and plan the serverless development process wisely.

2 Development

We assign back-end specialists to implement the application’s server side, APIs, and business logic, and front-end developers to transform UI design into a functioning user side. Using pre-defined technical documentation, serverless developers write code according to your requirements.

 

We follow the best practices of serverless development services delivery, including Agile project management, CI/CD, regular code reviews, code quality control, test-driven development, regular communication, etc.

3 QA & Testing

Our QA engineers polish the application prior to release by doing multi-level QA testing, identifying issues, and fine-tuning functionality throughout the development process. We test usability, performance, acceptance, and functionality to ensure your app runs smoothly and delivers a high-quality experience to end users.

4 Deployment & Integration

Next, we deliver the application to users for beta testing. After receiving feedback from users, we make adjustments and improvements if needed. At this step, our primary goal is to ensure that the new serverless solution is hack-proof and reliable.

5 Maintenance

We focus on long-term cooperation with our customers and offer ongoing application support, regular functionality updates, and troubleshooting. Our team is always in touch and ready to keep your serverless application maintaining working capacity anytime!
