Cloud Application Development Services

Build and deploy resilient cloud applications at scale. Kickstep Technologies develops performance and highly-available cloud applications using proven and cutting-edge cloud technologies. We can also adapt your legacy applications to run on the cloud. In addition, we offer traditional web and mobile application development services in the most common platforms and languages like iOS, Android, Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Node.js, and more.

Our cloud development philosophy:

  • Build for performance, resiliency, availability, and scale
  • Promote cloud and serverless architectures for better performance, flexibility and scalability
  • Develop modular applications that integrate with other services and APIs to simplify development and management
  • Re-architect legacy applications using a cloud-native approach
  • Prioritize automation to increase agility, reduce risk, and take advantage of the dynamic nature of cloud services
  • Be a strategic partner and advisor to our clients and help facilitate their success long after launch

We utilize the full suite of AWS cloud services in addition to infrastructure automation and configuration management from Chef and microservice application development with Docker.

Key components of a cloud application development project typically include:

  • Requirements gathering phase to understand your needs and objectives
  • Architecture audit to ensure that we fully understand your existing applications and how to best re-architect them for the cloud
  • Architecture design for your new cloud application
  • Development with proven, cutting-edge cloud technologies
  • Integration with existing systems and applications in your data center
  • Testing of functionality at scale and high load
  • Deployment of the production, staging, and test environments
  • Re-Architect and rebuild legacy applications for Cloud.
  • Adoption of CI/CD framework and standards for increased agility, transparency and quality.

We’ll work alongside your team and create full documentation to enable a seamless hand-off and smooth transition for continued success. If ongoing support is desired, we offer multiple levels of managed services that supplement and extend your in-house resources.
