Articles about Platforms & Cloud from iwebforyou: practical, plain-language guidance on websites, SaaS platforms and cloud for you.
This category covers the technical foundations of platforms and hosting, explained in plain language. We build SaaS products and internal business platforms with accounts, roles, workflows, dashboards and integrations, following the same five stages as every project, with requirements before code. For hosting we set up your application on AWS: Elastic Beanstalk for the application, AWS WAF as a filter against harmful traffic, AWS Lambda to find and block scanners automatically, and ready-made Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights reports. The AWS account always remains yours. Articles in this category look at how an application is protected from automated scans, what a platform needs written down before development starts and how such systems are checked. Until they are published, the SaaS platforms page and the AWS cloud setup page describe the work in detail.
