Serverless, also known as FaaS (Functions as a Service), is a modern paradigm in the field of application development that has made the way we create and implement software more dynamic. In the serverless model, developers can create functions that run only when needed, eliminating the need to maintain permanent servers or virtual machines. This means there is no need to worry about the infrastructure or its scaling. Serverless automates the server management process, allowing developers to focus on coding and application development.
The biggest advantage of serverless is that companies only pay for the actual consumption of computing resources. This means that costs are much more predictable and you can avoid overpaying for unused resources. Serverless is especially attractive to startups and projects with fluctuating workloads, as it allows you to focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure. It is also an ideal solution for functions that require scalability depending on the changing needs of users.
With a serverless architecture, developers don't have to worry about managing servers or infrastructure. The cloud provider takes care of this automatically
Serverless solutions automatically scale computing resources depending on the load. This means that applications are able to handle both low and very heavy loads.
Costs in serverless architecture are directly related to the actual consumption of computing resources. You do not pay for unused resources.
Developing and deploying serverless features is much faster than traditional applications, allowing for faster delivery of new features and updates.
No need to purchase and maintain servers means lower initial costs for projects.
Serverless platforms automatically manage capacity and resources, which allows you to optimize costs and performance.
Our primary goal is not so much to provide software, but to actually address the needs and solve problems of our customers. Before we start creating a vision of the software's functionality together, we will conduct a deep analysis to reveal the needs. We will then prioritize them based on business values. We will also look for paths to optimize the operation of your business processes, not only from the perspective of the software itself.
For us, the key value in working with non-technology-savvy clients is to bring them as close to technology as possible. That's why we devote a lot of time and attention to carefully explaining each stage of the software development process. We also provide advice so that design decisions are fully conscious and based on understandable values.
Many clients are afraid of disclosing the budget at the early stage of the project, believing that it will negatively affect the valuation of the project. This is the most common mistake and cause of frustration in the software development process. Really defining the budget allows you to look at functional needs from many perspectives. Being aware of the limited budget, we can look for more economical solutions that may not be fully satisfactory, but at this stage they will address the needs and will be sufficient. As the business value of the entire project increases, these areas may be developed, but this does not have to happen immediately. There are several proven solutions that allow for controlled budget management - we will present them and help you with this task as soon as we get to know each other.
This is one of the most common concerns that arises at the early stage of talks about implementing a new project. In short: no. An agile approach to a project does not preclude setting clear goals and points on the timeline that are to be achieved. However, frequent and small design iterations allow you to obtain the desired functionalities faster with a reduced budget. The combination of lean development with continuous validation of requirements and assumptions perfectly verifies the previous needs analysis. In fact, the analysis progresses with the development of the project and naturally optimizes its scope by limiting unnecessary steps.
If our portfolio is not enough of an argument, we will be happy to present technological possibilities and talk about the challenges we have encountered over the years of working on other projects and how we found solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems.
In communication with clients, we focus primarily on honesty, openness and transparency. This allows you to avoid understatements while building lasting, mutual trust.
We look at each project on two scales - micro and macro. On a macro scale, we define milestones for modules and functional areas that we want to achieve in specific order and points on the project timeline. On a micro scale, we manage tasks in iterations no longer than 2 weeks, so we have full control over the implementation stage and can dynamically respond to emerging threats by e.g. increasing internal resources.
Implementation is not the last stage of the software development cycle at aveneo. We help with user training and training. We are the best partner for this because we know all the design assumptions and full mechanics of the delivered solution. This will guarantee satisfaction and understanding of the solution, and will also allow you to collect conclusions from users regarding potential optimizations and new functionalities.
For large projects, it is difficult to bring all stakeholders together at every meeting. It is completely natural for different departments to have mutually exclusive expectations. Our role is to collect all the needs and design a solution that will take into account all business processes and reconcile those that stand in opposition to each other into a coherent and logical whole.
This is completely normal! Every investment carries some risk. Depending on the source of the concern, additional levels of security should be implemented. For our part, we will try to find tools that will help you get rid of stress and guarantee the success of the project. For example, if concerns concern the functional scope, we suggest identifying the most valuable functionalities and building a small section of the software, and then validating the assumptions and checking in a real environment whether the solution is satisfactory.
