Cloud engineering for systems that scale, heal and stay secure

Backendz builds cloud-native infrastructure on Azure and AWS: containers, serverless functions and managed services, all defined as code. Systems that scale with demand, recover on their own and cost what they should.

Or see how we engage first — four shapes, no sales call required.

  • Cloud-native builds
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Containers
  • Kubernetes
  • Serverless
  • Managed databases
  • Message queues
  • Background jobs
  • Auto-scaling
  • High availability
  • Multi-tenant hosting
  • Custom domains & wildcard SSL
  • Secrets management
  • Private networking
  • Storage & CDN
  • Environment automation
  • No more environments clicked together by hand in a portal

  • Stop rebuilding staging every time it drifts from production

  • Forget scaling by upgrading the one big server again

  • Done with secrets pasted into config files

  • Skip waking up because one instance fell over at 3am

  • Say bye to tenant setup that takes a developer half a day

Why build cloud engineering with us?

Built for software, by software engineers

We build the applications too, so the infrastructure fits how the software actually behaves.

Everything as code

Every environment is defined in version-controlled files, so it can be rebuilt, reviewed and copied.

Multi-tenant experience

We run SaaS platforms with tenant subdomains, wildcard certificates and per-tenant data on Azure.

Managed services first

We use managed databases, queues and hosting where they cut maintenance, and avoid complexity you don't need.

How we engage

Four ways this usually starts

Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, say so on the call — we would rather shape the engagement than sell you the nearest shape we have.

Most teams start here

You need a proper cloud platform for your app

  • Production, staging and development environments as code
  • Managed database, storage, secrets and monitoring
  • Ready for your team to deploy to

Best for: apps outgrowing a single server or hand-built setup

You're hosting a SaaS product

  • Multi-tenant hosting with custom domains and SSL
  • Tenant isolation and automated onboarding
  • Scales as tenants grow

Best for: SaaS companies and white-label platforms

You need it to scale

  • Containers or serverless for spiky workloads
  • Auto-scaling and load balancing
  • Background processing moved off the main app

Best for: products with growing or unpredictable traffic

You need it to stay up

  • High-availability design across zones
  • Automated failover and recovery
  • Tested backup and restore

Best for: systems where downtime costs money

FAQ

The things people ask before they commit.

Still have questions?

Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.

Book a call
What is cloud engineering?

Cloud engineering is designing and building the infrastructure software runs on in the cloud: hosting, databases, networking, security and scaling. Modern cloud engineering defines all of this as code, so environments are repeatable, reviewable and easy to change.

What does cloud-native mean?

Cloud-native systems are built to use the cloud's strengths: managed services, containers or serverless functions, automatic scaling and self-healing. They contrast with software moved onto a cloud server unchanged, which gets fewer of those benefits.

Do we need Kubernetes?

Often not. Kubernetes is powerful for running many services at scale, but adds complexity. Many applications run more simply and cheaply on managed app hosting or serverless. Backendz recommends Kubernetes only when the workload justifies it.

What is infrastructure as code?

Infrastructure as code defines cloud resources such as servers, databases and networks in files, using tools like Terraform or Bicep. Environments can then be created, copied and changed reliably, and every change is tracked in version control.

How do you handle multi-tenant hosting?

We host SaaS platforms with a subdomain or custom domain per tenant, wildcard SSL certificates, tenant-isolated data and automated tenant setup, so adding a customer doesn't need manual infrastructure work.

Can you work with our existing cloud account?

Yes. Backendz can build into your existing Azure or AWS account, bring an existing setup under code, or set up a new, well-structured account from scratch.
