Everything you need to launch on AWS
Three core services that take you from idea to production — with AWS credits to keep your runway intact.
AWS Credits Programme
We help you access AWS Activate credits — up to $100,000 in AWS credits for eligible startups. We handle the application, verify your eligibility and guide you through the process so you can start building immediately without worrying about infrastructure costs.

Architecture Reviews
Before you write a single line of code, we help you design an architecture that scales. Our AWS-certified architects review your technical plans against the AWS Well-Architected Framework and recommend the most cost-effective, scalable approach.

MVP Builds
Turn your idea into a working product in weeks, not months. Our engineers build serverless-first MVPs on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB and API Gateway — designed to scale from zero to millions of users without re-architecture.

Why startups choose Smile IT
We have helped startups across fintech, healthtech, SaaS and e-commerce launch on AWS. Here is why founders come back.
Startup-speed delivery
We operate in sprints, not quarters. Your MVP can be live in weeks with a production-ready architecture that investors take seriously.
Built to scale
Serverless architectures that scale to zero when idle and handle millions of requests when you need them. No over-provisioning, no wasted spend.
Enterprise-grade from day one
Encryption, IAM policies, automated backups and monitoring baked in from the start — not bolted on when a customer asks for a SOC 2 report.
Fractional CTO support
Access senior AWS architects without hiring a full-time CTO. We join your standups, review PRs and advise on technical decisions.
AWS credits expertise
We have helped dozens of startups access AWS Activate credits and maximise their value. We know what gets approved and how to structure your application.
Investor-ready infrastructure
Technical due diligence goes smoothly when your architecture is well-documented, secure and built on proven patterns. We make sure it is.
