OUR PROCESS

Our Cloud Application Development Process Step by Step

A structured cloud application development lifecycle built on agile methodology, so every build ships on time, passes compliance checks, and scales predictably.

PHASE 01 · DISCOVERY

Discovery and Cloud-Native Architecture Design

We map your business goals, infrastructure constraints, and compliance needs, then deliver a cloud-native or multi-cloud architecture blueprint with a phased roadmap and TCO estimate.

  • Requirement mapping
  • Architecture blueprint
  • Compliance review
  • TCO estimate
PHASE 02 · SETUP

UI/UX Design and Infrastructure Setup

Designers deliver wireframes and prototypes while DevOps engineers configure Kubernetes clusters, containerized environments, and CI/CD pipelines before feature development begins.

  • Kubernetes clusters
  • Container setup
  • CI/CD pipelines
PHASE 03 · BUILD

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about our cloud development services, pricing, timelines, and engagement models so you have everything you need before a scoping call.

01

What is cloud application development?

Cloud application development is the process of designing, building, and operating software on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud instead of on local servers. These applications use auto-scaling, serverless computing, and containerization to deliver high availability, global reach, and cost efficiency.

02

How much does cloud app development cost?

Cloud app development costs range from $15,000 for a basic MVP to $500,000+ for a complex enterprise platform. Main drivers are app complexity, platform choice, compliance scope, team size, and support tier. A pay-as-you-go cloud model and proactive cloud cost optimization reduce total spend over time. SDLC Corp provides fixed-scope quotes after a free 30-minute scoping call with no hidden fees and full cost transparency from day one.

03

What is the cloud application development timeline?

A cloud MVP takes 6 to 10 weeks, a standard SaaS application 12 to 20 weeks, and a complex enterprise platform 20 to 40 weeks.Our delivery timeline runs on 2-week Agile sprints, so you review a working increment every fortnight instead of waiting for a single big-bang delivery.

04

Difference between cloud native and cloud hosted, what is it?

A cloud-hosted app is an existing application moved to cloud servers via lift-and-shift with minimal re-architecture. A cloud-native app is built from scratch with microservices, containers, and serverless functions to fully exploit cloud elasticity. Cloud-native delivers better long-term resilience and cost efficiency but requires more upfront architecture planning.

05

AWS vs Azure for cloud app development , which is best?

All three are enterprise-grade. AWS leads in service breadth and startup ecosystems. Azure fits Microsoft-stack enterprises and regulated industries needing Active Directory. GCP excels in data analytics, AI and ML workloads, and Kubernetes-native environments. We are certified on all three and recommend the best fit per project, not per preference.

06

Do you sign an NDA before starting?

Yes. An NDA is signed before any project discussion. We provide full source code ownership and complete IP transfer on completion, so your architecture, business logic, and data remain 100% yours. For regulated industries, we also sign data processing agreements (DPAs) as required by GDPR and HIPAA.

07

Can you migrate our existing application to the cloud?

Yes. Our cloud migration services cover end-to-end delivery, from legacy assessment through execution to post-migration optimization. We apply the 6 Rs of migration (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain) per workload. Where lift-and-shift is not cost-efficient, we handle modernization into cloud-native microservices architectures.

08

What engagement models do you offer?

Three models: Fixed Price for well-scoped deliverables, Time and Material for evolving products, and a Dedicated Team of 2 to 50 engineers on a monthly retainer. On-demand cloud application development lets you scale up or down without renegotiating. Every model includes a dedicated account manager, daily standups, full Jira access, and NDA before the first call.
