Building a cloud application means infrastructure decisions made on day one — provider, services, scaling model, and deployment pipeline agreed before the first feature is built.
Halo Lab develops cloud-native applications on AWS, GCP, and Azure — serverless functions, containerised services, and infrastructure-as-code configured to give your team a production environment that scales automatically and fails gracefully.
3 main challenges holding back your growth
Outgrown identity
Your company has grown, but the brand no longer reflects scale or direction.
Outgrown identity
Your company has grown, but the brand no longer reflects scale or direction.
Outgrown identity
Your company has grown, but the brand no longer reflects scale or direction.
Infrastructure added too late
Cloud config retrofitted after build — scaling and reliability never designed in.
No observability in production
No monitoring or alerting configured — incidents discovered by users, not logs.
Manual deployments, no CI/CD
Deployments run manually — no pipeline, no automation, no rollback path.
“All projects in which we’ve involved Halo Lab have been great successes, but their leadership on our brand refresh is worth highlighting.”
“We’ve had feedback from users, investors, and employees, and everyone has said that Halo Lab did a fantastic job with the branding.”
“We’re proud of their branding services. They not only do what we tell them but also make suggestions to help us improve our offerings.”
What we deliver
Cloud app development from
architecture to deployment
Cloud Architecture

FAQ
Why invest in branding services?
Why invest in branding services?
What does cloud app development include?
Cloud architecture design, infrastructure as code, serverless or containerised application build, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and alerting setup, security configuration, and engineering handoff.
Which cloud providers do you work with?
AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. Provider selection is aligned to your requirements, existing infrastructure, and team familiarity during the architecture phase before build begins.
Do you use serverless or containers?
Both, depending on workload. Serverless functions suit event-driven and variable-traffic workloads. Containers are preferred for persistent services. Most production architectures combine both.
How long does cloud app development take?
Most cloud application builds take 2 to 5 months from architecture to production deployment, depending on application complexity, number of services, and integration requirements.
Do you write infrastructure as code?
Yes. All infrastructure is provisioned using Terraform or AWS CDK — versioned, reviewed, and stored alongside application code so your team can reproduce and modify environments without manual steps.
Do you configure monitoring and alerting?
Yes. CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalent is configured as part of every build — dashboards, alert thresholds, and on-call routing set up before the first production deployment.
Do you handle cloud security configuration?
Yes. IAM roles and least-privilege policies, secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, and VPC configuration are part of the standard infrastructure setup for every project.
Can you work with our existing cloud account?
Yes. We can build within your existing AWS, GCP, or Azure account — reviewing your current setup, identifying gaps, and deploying new infrastructure alongside what already exists.
Do you offer ongoing cloud support?
Yes. Ongoing cloud development and operations retainers are available — covering new service development, infrastructure updates, cost optimisation, and incident response as your platform grows.
