Optimizing for Everything

At Strukt, we’re committed to delivering software solutions that excel in performance, scalability, and security—while remaining cost-effective. By fully leveraging the power of AWS and its suite of innovative products, we ensure every application we develop is tailor-made for your business needs. Below you’ll discover our key strategies to help you optimize your software, your infrastructure, and your investment.

Cost Optimization

Our guiding principle is to provide budget-friendly solutions without compromising on quality. By focusing on AWS’s native services, we keep overhead to a minimum and pass those savings on to you. Here’s how:

• Pay-As-You-Go Scalability: AWS’s pricing model lets you pay only for what you use, ensuring your costs scale naturally with traffic—perfect for both startups and established enterprises.
• Serverless Architecture: We implement AWS Lambda to eliminate the need for always-on servers. This means no paying for idle resources and an efficient response to unpredictable workloads.
• Efficient Communication Tools: Utilizing Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) helps us replace costly third-party email tools with a scalable, reliable, and cost-effective mailing solution.

Scalability Built In

We design solutions to grow alongside your business, ensuring they remain responsive under all conditions:

• Serverless Databases: Our use of serverless Postgres and other AWS-managed database offerings provides dynamic scaling and cost-efficiency. During low-traffic windows, you spend less; during peak loads, you gain performance.
• Lambda Functions: Event-driven AWS Lambda functions automatically respond to fluctuating or unpredictable demands, guaranteeing your application is always ready for sudden growth.
• Global Reach: By leveraging AWS’s global CDN and data centers, we shorten the digital distance between your application and your users worldwide, reducing latency and boosting the overall user experience.

Security First

At Strukt, we believe trust is built on a strong security foundation. Here’s how we safeguard your resources:

• AWS Control Tower: This service centralizes account security and governance, ensuring uniform security standards are met across all projects while preserving environment segregation.
• Automated Monitoring: We rely on AWS services like CloudWatch and GuardDuty to automatically detect real-time threats, allowing rapid response and preventing costly incidents.
• Encryption Everywhere: From data in transit to data at rest, AWS encryption services protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or exposure.
• Secure Access Management: AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enforces robust, fine-grained permissions. Only the right individuals get the right level of access.

The Getaway

While we have no doubt that our technology stack is well suited for most businesses and their needs, we also understand that not every business is the same. Even within a business, requirements can change rapidly. This is why we have some clear paths out of the stack we've chosen.

• Containerization for Portability: By architecting applications to run inside containers (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), it's easy to switch from AWS-specific services to a platform of your choice. Containerization ensures your workloads remain portable and reduces lock-in risks.

• Multi-Cloud / On-Prem Options: We can extend or mirror your infrastructure to Azure, Google Cloud, or an on-premises environment. This multi-cloud strategy provides maximum flexibility to accommodate shifting business objectives or compliance mandates.

• Decoupled Data Storage: Our approach ensures that your data, whether stored in PostgreSQL or another database, remains portable. This decoupling makes it straightforward to migrate data to another cloud or self-hosted solution when you no longer wish to rely on AWS-managed services.

• Automated IaC & CI/CD: By using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, your infrastructure setup and deployments remain version-controlled. Migrating to new environments only requires adjusting your configurations rather than rewriting everything from scratch.

• Vendor-Agnostic Tooling: Wherever it makes sense, we use open-source or cross-platform tools to avoid tightly coupling your application to AWS-specific features. By staying vendor-agnostic, your team can pivot swiftly to another provider when the need arises.
