Smart serverless automation for eCommerce

Your developers should be building, not dealing with server automation. And pulling them away from their core work will kill your momentum. How do you find a partner you trust to automate server provisioning, so your team can focus on shipping features?

Happy E-commerce Customers

Dreamvention was launching a SaaS platform that automatically created e-commerce stores on its servers and executed complex scripts.

Hiring internally wasn't a viable option for a lean agency focused on development. So they needed a trusted partner to build and support the infrastructure long-term, allowing their developers to stay focused on delivering features.

Years of partnership

What began as a single project evolved into a long-term relationship. The client not only had their technical problems solved but also learned from the process, expanding the services they could offer to their own clients.

Terraform + Lambda

We designed and configured an automated serverless environment, enabling automated store creation and script execution. This foundation allowed Dreamvention clients to scale fast.

“Thanks to ITSyndicate, we were able to offer more services to our clients and solve tasks that we previously couldn't have done ourselves. They didn't just provide a service - we also learned.”

“How do you build a partnership that lasts over five years?”

For Dreamvention, this wasn't a one-time project with a defined end date. It was the beginning of an ongoing relationship built on trust, task-by-task collaboration, and mutual learning. Our process was designed to not only solve their immediate technical challenges but also to transfer knowledge over time, enabling them to grow their own capabilities.

  1. Recommending the Right Foundation. The engagement began with a strategic recommendation: a dedicated server environment that could support their SaaS product's need for automated store creation and script execution. We chose and acquired the tools and services, configured the entire setup, and demonstrated how it worked, providing the client with a clear understanding of the architecture.
  2. Establishing Ongoing, Task-Based Support. After the initial setup, the client decided to engage us for continuous support. We operated on a task-by-task basis with a fixed monthly retainer, allowing them to submit requests as needed. This flexible model ensured they had expert support without the overhead of a full-time hire.
  3. Providing Options, Not Just Execution. No matter what happened, our approach was always consultative. When the client set a task, we didn't just execute it — we evaluated the problem and, when possible, presented multiple solutions, explaining the trade-offs. This gave them the ability to make informed decisions and understand the "why" behind each technical choice.
  4. Enabling Knowledge Transfer Through Collaboration. A defining aspect of the partnership was the educational component. Every time we delivered a project, we provided instructions and support. This allowed Dreanvention to expand its range of services and solve problems they previously couldn't handle on their own.

Automation, observability & compliance

Your team starts to ship code faster and more safely, without ever needing to perform manual server work. The process is fully automated.

We implement a CI/CD workflow that handles the entire release: building the code, running automated tests, packaging the application, and deploying it through a series of environments (e.g., staging to production) with quality gates at each step.

Secrets and configurations are standardized to eliminate "snowflake" deployments, and every release includes a single-click rollback option for immediate recovery.

The difference is moving from a reactive state of chaos to a proactive state of control.

Simply having alerts often means developers are still left chasing production issues at random hours.

A real process provides clarity and reduces resolution time.

We implement end-to-end monitoring for both infrastructure and applications, but crucially, we pair it with actionable alerting and on-call playbooks (runbooks).

This establishes clear ownership and documented procedures for specific incidents, which dramatically cuts the Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) and protects your development team's focus.

Through a combination of security hardening and strict tenant isolation at the architectural level.

The goal is to ensure that a problem with one tenant, whether a security issue or a resource spike, cannot cascade and impact another.

Our approach includes enforcing the principle of least privilege across all services, hardening access policies like SSH, providing guidance on Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, and maintaining strict secrets hygiene.

We review third-party modules and tighten the boundaries between tenants to ensure their processes remain isolated.

By treating infrastructure planning as a continuous, collaborative process, not a one-time setup.

We co-plan infrastructure milestones directly alongside your product roadmap.

This ensures that capacity planning and risk mitigations are aligned with your feature launches, so you are never under-provisioned for a big release or over-paying for idle resources.

We then maintain cost hygiene through consistent resource tagging, right-sizing policies, and regular utilization reviews, keeping your infrastructure spend efficient as you scale.

We guided Dreamvention through FedRAMP readiness for their clients': gap assessments against FedRAMP baselines, SSP and POA&M development, control ownership mapping (customer vs provider), evidence collection, and policy/procedure authoring. We aligned architecture, CI/CD, logging, and incident response to FedRAMP requirements and supported audits and ATO package submission.
