Independent software studio

Software that lives in the cloud and fits in your pocket.

CloudHive LLC is a small studio that builds its own products and helps other teams design, ship, and run theirs on AWS and mobile.

What we do

Consulting from people who ship their own product.

Lyric Hero runs on the same kind of stack we help clients build: a serverless AWS backend, infrastructure in Terraform, automated deploys, and an iPhone app.

  • Cloud-native & serverless on AWS

    APIs and backends built on managed services like Lambda and DynamoDB, so you pay for usage instead of idle servers and there is less to patch.

  • Mobile apps

    iOS apps taken from a first prototype through TestFlight and App Store review, with the backend, sign-in, and account deletion flows stores expect.

  • Infrastructure as code

    Environments described in Terraform and kept in version control, so staging and production are reviewable, repeatable, and easy to rebuild.

  • CI/CD

    Pipelines that test, build, and deploy on every merge, with staging checks before anything reaches the people using your product.

How we work

Small by design.

  1. You talk to the person doing the work

    No hand-offs between sales and delivery. The conversation about your problem is with the engineer who builds the fix.

  2. Plain answers about cost and trade-offs

    We explain what a managed service will cost at your scale and when a simpler option is the better call.

  3. You keep everything

    Code, infrastructure definitions, and pipelines live in your accounts and repositories, documented so your team can own them.
