AWS Serverless Cloud Architecture & Consulting
Infrastructure that scales on its own and costs what it should. JW Design designs, builds, and deploys serverless systems on AWS for businesses in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and beyond.
Serverless means no servers to patch, size, or keep running at 2 a.m. Your application runs on managed AWS services that scale up when traffic spikes and scale down when it’s quiet, and you pay for what you actually use.
That model fits real-world traffic well. The IHM Summer Festival ticketing site, for example, absorbs rushes of raffle and ride-bracelet orders around festival weekend without anyone resizing a server. Every environment is defined as code with CloudFormation and SAM, so deployments are repeatable and nothing lives only in someone’s memory.
What’s included
Serverless APIs
Lambda functions behind API Gateway for web and mobile backends, webhooks, and integrations.
Fast, secure hosting
Static sites and single-page apps on S3 and CloudFront with HTTPS, caching, and locked-down origins.
Databases
Aurora Postgres for relational data and DynamoDB for high-volume, key-value workloads, chosen to fit the job.
Infrastructure as code
CloudFormation and SAM templates plus scripted deployments, so testing and production environments match.
Security & secrets
Secrets Manager for API keys, least-privilege IAM roles, and private storage that only your application can reach.
Reviews & migrations
Assess an existing AWS account for cost, reliability, and security, or move a legacy app onto modern serverless services.
Why serverless?
Scales automatically
Handle launch days, ticket rushes, and seasonal spikes without capacity planning.
Pay for usage
Quiet periods cost very little, which suits seasonal businesses, events, and new products.
Less to maintain
AWS manages the servers, patching, and availability, so your budget goes into features.

Common questions
Do you work in our existing AWS account?
Yes. Infrastructure can be deployed into your own AWS account so you keep full ownership of the resources, data, and billing.
Is serverless right for every application?
Not always. Long-running, constant-load workloads can be cheaper on containers or traditional servers. A short review of your traffic and requirements shows which approach fits.
