GROW Workshop: Modernize and Scale Your SaaS Business

Armakuni’s GROW Workshop helps SaaS businesses overcome common challenges such as rigid pricing models, unpredictable scaling costs, security vulnerabilities, compliance concerns, and missed opportunities for AI-driven growth. As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner with SaaS Competency, Armakuni brings deep expertise in multi-tenancy, CI/CD, cost optimization, and regulatory compliance to accelerate SaaS modernization. The GROW framework transforms legacy systems into secure, scalable, and cloud-native architectures aligned with AWS best practices. Customers can use the workshop to modernize existing applications or build new SaaS solutions optimized for performance, efficiency, and long-term growth.

Armakuni’s comprehensive SaaS Modernization Workshop uses the GROW framework and expert guidance to help you modernize your SaaS application with confidence and precision.

Granular Pricing & Optimization (G): How well does your SaaS solution use granular pricing and optimizations? Are you tracking usage and costs per customer effectively? Are you taking full advantage of AWS services like Lambda and Fargate to optimize cost structures? Are you utilizing spot instances and data tiering (S3-IA, DynamoDB) to manage infrequent access and short-term storage needs? As your company scales, does the granularity of your system scale with your customer base to maximize ROI?

Resiliency & Performance (R): Are your auto-healing systems designed with AWS Auto Scaling, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), and multi-region deployment strategies? How do you ensure high availability and fault tolerance? How effectively do you utilize monitoring and logging tools like Amazon CloudWatch to proactively identify performance bottlenecks and improve uptime and reliability?

Operational Efficiency & Security (O): Are your CI/CD pipelines (CodePipeline, CodeDeploy) automating deployments and reducing manual errors? How robust is your observability strategy with AWS X-Ray? How quickly can you identify the root cause of an issue? What is the mean time to recovery (MTTR) of your system? How well does your compliance strategy align with SOC2 and GDPR through AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, and IAM? Is secure tenant isolation and an audit-ready environment a priority for your business?

Workload Scalability & Growth (W): Are your SaaS workloads designed with scalable microservices using ECS/EKS? How effectively are you using serverless and event-driven architectures for operational efficiency? Are AI/ML solutions like SageMaker and Bedrock integrated to drive intelligent feature monetization? How does your system utilize AWS’s global infrastructure and partitioning strategies to handle usage spikes and support geographic expansion?
