About

Who's building this, and how.

Pranay Mendhe

Founder, Cloud Guard Labs · Engineering Manager, based in Bengaluru, India

Cloud Guard Labs is a solo, indie studio. By day I work as an engineering manager; outside of that, I design and build small products end to end — product, backend, and mobile app — and ship them myself. Both apps above are built on AWS serverless infrastructure: Lambda for compute, API Gateway for the API layer, DynamoDB for data, S3 for files and documents, and managed, secure sign-in for user accounts.

AWS Lambda API Gateway DynamoDB

Built on AWS.

Serverless compute AWS Lambda functions power the application logic for both products.
API layer Amazon API Gateway exposes a REST/HTTP API to the mobile app and dashboard.
Data & storage Amazon DynamoDB for application data, Amazon S3 for uploaded files and documents.
Auth Managed, secure sign-in for user accounts and sessions.
