Application Infrastructure: Navigating the Growth Phase

Entering the Growth Phase for a software application company presents exciting opportunities and significant challenges, particularly in scaling infrastructure and systems to meet increasing demand. Initially, the development team may handle multiple roles, but as the company grows, specialization becomes necessary, especially in transitioning to cloud hosting, which can be complex and requires expertise in various technical aspects like networks and security. Facing challenges in scaling and moving to the cloud, one company opted to hire dedicated Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and engage a consulting group to assist with migrating to AWS, though this approach proved costly and time-consuming. Nullstone, a platform designed to simplify infrastructure needs, offers a more streamlined solution by allowing companies to quickly launch applications with secure, industry-standard infrastructure that can be customized and extended using tools like Terraform. By providing out-of-the-box solutions and the ability to integrate new technologies, Nullstone aims to help growth-stage companies efficiently manage their infrastructure, enabling them to focus on building applications and adapting to future technological advancements.
