AWS Cloud Services
Migration, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM hardening, and cost-aware operations for production workloads.
Core delivery model
How Bits Bridge delivers
AWS bills and outages are architecture choices made visible. Bits Bridge migrates and operates Rails, commerce, and SaaS workloads with IaC, autoscaling, and runbooks since 2013.
Migration and ops delivery, cloud engineering depth, and focused hardening or cost programs.
Lift-and-shift without staging parity recreates production bugs slowly — we mirror webhooks, payments, and integrations in staging before cutover.
Engagements can start with paid discovery or a fixed-scope MVP — whichever fits your procurement process. We align with existing vendors and internal squads when RACI boundaries are clear.
What we have delivered
We migrate and operate production workloads on AWS — ECS/Fargate, Elastic Beanstalk, RDS PostgreSQL, S3, CloudFront, IAM hardening, and cost optimization for commerce, CRM, and SaaS clients since 2013.
Nomads Wanderer, MyiCourse, and Covers & All patterns inform our AWS reference architectures for CRM, LMS, and commerce peaks.
- Blue-green and rolling deploy patterns for Rails and Node services with zero-downtime cutover
- Autoscaling web and worker tiers for checkout peaks and enrollment spikes
- RDS Multi-AZ, read replicas, and backup retention aligned to RPO/RTO targets
- S3 media pipelines with lifecycle policies, CloudFront CDN, and signed URLs
- Secrets Manager and Parameter Store — no credentials in repos or env leaks
- CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, and structured logging with correlation IDs
Technical capabilities
Cloud architecture without operability fails at 2 AM. We deliver IaC templates, runbooks, on-call playbooks, and cost dashboards your team can run — not mystery consoles only we understand.
NAT gateway and data transfer costs are reviewed explicitly — surprises on the AWS bill often trace to architecture choices fixable early.
- Terraform or CloudFormation for repeatable staging/production parity
- VPC design: public/private subnets, NAT, security groups, WAF on public endpoints
- ECS task definitions, service discovery, and health checks with circuit breakers
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions → ECR → ECS with smoke tests before traffic shift
- Cost Explorer reviews, Savings Plans guidance, and S3/CloudFront optimization
- Disaster recovery drills and documented rollback for database migrations
What we can build for you
Engage for migration assessment, peak readiness hardening, or cost optimization — often a 4–6 week focused program with before/after metrics.
We pair with your internal ops or existing MSP under RACI — we do not insist on exclusive keys when shared responsibility is clearer.
- Discovery: current infra, traffic patterns, compliance, and pain points
- Architecture review with TCO comparison and migration sequencing
- Staging environment mirroring production integrations for safe cutover
- Load tests and failover drills before marketing or renewal peaks
- Handover: runbooks, IAM least-privilege matrix, and optional managed ops retainer
- Learn more about custom application development and e-commerce hosting
Stack
Technology stack
Reference architectures use VPC isolation, ECS/Fargate or Beanstalk, RDS Multi-AZ, S3/CloudFront media, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, and Terraform/IaC templates.
Secrets live in AWS Secrets Manager — never in repos. Testing includes contract tests on partner APIs and load tests before predictable peak events.
Outcomes
Delivery highlights
Peak survival, migration rollback drills, and cost reduction on first optimization pass — typical client outcomes on 4–6 week programs.
KPIs are agreed at discovery and reviewed at 30/60/90 days post-launch — conversion, deflection, deploy frequency, or decision clarity for research engagements.
Peak traffic
Autoscaling validated — Commerce and LMS clients survive campaign and enrollment spikes without manual intervention.
Migration safety
Blue-green cutover — Database migrations and app deploys with rollback tested before production traffic shift.
Cost clarity
Monthly optimization reviews — Right-sized instances, S3 lifecycle rules, and CDN tuning — typical 15–30% savings on first pass.
Security
Least-privilege IAM — No long-lived root keys; scoped roles per service with audit-friendly CloudTrail.
Depth
Technical capabilities
Compute, data, CDN, CI/CD, security hardening, and FinOps reviews — handover includes runbooks your ops team can execute.
Handover includes documentation your team can operate: runbooks, API references, and recorded training — not a final-week knowledge dump.

Frequently asked questions
Do you only work with AWS?
AWS is our primary cloud for Rails and commerce workloads. We advise on GCP/Azure when client contracts require — with honest portability notes.
Can you migrate from on-prem or another cloud?
Yes. Phased migration with staging parity, data sync strategies, and cutover runbooks — prefer incremental over big-bang when revenue depends on uptime.
Do you use Terraform or CloudFormation?
Both — chosen per client ops preference. IaC is mandatory for environments we hand over to your team.
How do you handle database migrations on AWS?
RDS snapshots, replication lag monitoring, expand-contract patterns, and rollback drills before production promote.
Can you reduce our AWS bill?
Typical first-pass review finds idle resources, oversized instances, and S3/CloudFront inefficiencies. We document savings and implement with your approval.
Do you provide 24/7 on-call?
Hypercare around launches included; ongoing on-call available via retainer with defined SLAs and escalation paths.
How do you secure production AWS accounts?
Least-privilege IAM, no root keys, Secrets Manager, VPC isolation, WAF on public endpoints, and CloudTrail audit.
