Serverless Solutions
The 3 a.m. alert that shouldn't exist
Every growing business knows the moment. A promotion finally lands, traffic triples, and the server that handled everything fine last month starts gasping. Someone gets the alert at 3 a.m. Someone else spends Monday pricing a bigger machine that will sit mostly idle until the next spike — and still might not be big enough when it comes.
For decades, that was simply the deal: guess your capacity, pay for the guess, and hope you guessed high enough. Serverless computing ends that bargain. Your code runs when it's needed, scales itself in milliseconds, and you pay only for the seconds it actually works. No idle servers. No capacity planning. No 3 a.m.
We've always been in the upgrade business
Ramjet started out helping people get more from the machines they already owned — we spent decades upgrading Macs with memory and drives, one careful installation at a time, from our home base in Austin, Texas. The tools have changed; the philosophy hasn't. We still believe the best upgrade is the one that removes a bottleneck you've been paying for. Today that bottleneck usually isn't a memory slot. It's the architecture itself.
So when we help a business go serverless, we approach it the way we approached every upgrade before it: assess what you have, change only what earns its keep, and leave you with something faster, cheaper to run, and easier to live with.
What we deliver
- Serverless readiness assessment. We map your current applications and workloads, identify which ones gain the most from going serverless, and — just as important — which ones should stay put. You get a clear plan with estimated savings before any work begins.
- Migration & architecture. We design and execute migrations to managed platforms like AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Run, with zero-downtime cutover plans, security configuration, and rollback paths at every step.
- New application builds. APIs, event-driven data pipelines, scheduled jobs, and integrations built serverless-first — so they're born scalable instead of retrofitted later.
- Cost optimization & ongoing operations. Right-sized configurations, monitoring, alerting, and a monthly review of your cloud bill. When something drifts, we catch it before your invoice does.
What an engagement looks like
Picture a wholesale business running its order system on a rented server that costs the same at midnight as it does during the morning rush. In a typical engagement, we'd spend the first week mapping that system and measuring where the money actually goes. The order API moves to serverless functions; the nightly reporting job becomes an event-driven pipeline that runs in minutes instead of hours; the database moves to a managed service that backs itself up. The bill drops, the spikes stop mattering, and nobody carries a pager for a server that no longer exists.
How it works
- Assess — a free consultation to map your workloads, estimate savings, and decide together whether serverless earns its keep.
- Build — we migrate or build with security review, testing, and zero-downtime cutover plans.
- Support — 24/7 monitoring, monthly cost reviews, and a team in Austin that answers the phone.
