Cloud Infrastructure for Hypergrowth
From MVP to millions of users—we build cloud infrastructure that launches fast, scales seamlessly, and extends your runway.
Built for Startup Speed
Startups face unique infrastructure challenges. You need to move fast, but technical debt accumulates quickly. You need to minimize costs, but can't afford downtime during a demo. You need to scale, but don't know when or by how much.
CloudByFontos works with startups at every stage, from pre-seed founders setting up their first AWS account to Series B companies scaling to millions of users. We bring patterns and practices learned from dozens of startups—what works, what doesn't, and what you can defer until later.
We believe in pragmatic architecture for startups. No over-engineering for hypothetical scale, but no shortcuts that create painful technical debt. The result is infrastructure that supports your current needs while providing clear paths to scale when the time comes.
Key Features
MVP Architecture
Launch quickly with architecture that's simple enough for speed but designed to scale when you need it.
Scale-Ready Design
Build foundations that support growth from hundreds to millions of users without costly rewrites.
Cost-Efficient Infrastructure
Maximize runway with infrastructure that costs hundreds, not thousands, until you need to scale.
Rapid Deployment
CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation that enable multiple deployments per day from day one.
Security Foundations
Basic security hygiene that protects your data and positions you for SOC2 when investors ask for it.
Observability Setup
Monitoring and alerting that helps you understand your system and catch issues before users do.
Benefits
Launch Faster
Get to market in weeks, not months, with proven architecture patterns and automation.
Extend Runway
Minimize infrastructure costs during early stages when every dollar counts.
Scale Confidently
Handle viral growth or investor demos without scrambling to rebuild infrastructure.
Avoid Technical Debt
Start with patterns that scale instead of accumulating debt that slows you down later.
Focus on Product
Spend engineering time on features that matter, not infrastructure firefighting.
Impress Investors
Show technical sophistication with infrastructure that demonstrates engineering maturity.
Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
What if we don't have a DevOps team?
Most startups don't. We set up infrastructure that's automated and well-documented so your developers can manage it. We also offer ongoing support packages for startups that want expert backup without full-time hires.
How much should a startup spend on cloud?
Early-stage startups should typically spend $100-500/month on AWS until they have significant traction. We design architectures that start small and scale costs proportionally with growth.
When should we think about SOC2?
If you're selling to enterprises or handling sensitive data, start thinking about SOC2 around Series A. But the foundations should be built earlier—we help you implement practices that make future compliance easier.
Can you help with technical due diligence?
Yes. We help startups prepare for technical due diligence by ensuring infrastructure, security, and practices meet investor expectations. We can also conduct independent assessments.
Do you work with pre-revenue startups?
Absolutely. We offer startup-friendly pricing and scope engagements appropriately for early-stage budgets. We've worked with startups from pre-seed through Series C and beyond.
