We design, build, and operate cloud-native software systems on AWS. Concretely: infrastructure as code (Terraform, Kubernetes, ECS), backends in Go and Python, frontends in React and Next.js, security and compliance work including SOC 2, and Shopify-specific engineering on AWS.

Our studio is in Bilimora, Gujarat, India. We serve software teams in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Our hours overlap US Eastern and most European business hours.

Rishi Rathod founded Stellavix. He is a technical lead with more than four years of hands-on DevOps and cloud architecture experience and continues to write code and review architecture personally.

Stellavix is a small, senior team. The engineers you talk to in the first call are the ones writing your code. There are no account managers, offshore relays, or junior staff billed at senior rates.

A short discovery call, a written proposal within a week, then two-week sprints with demos every other Friday. Decisions are written down. You retain full ownership of AWS accounts, GitHub repositories, and intellectual property.

Three brackets. Audits (a fixed two-week review of an existing system) start around ₹1.5 lakh. Sprints (a scoped 4–12 week build) range from ₹8 lakh to ₹25 lakh. Retainers (an ongoing senior engineer engagement) start around ₹4 lakh per month with a minimum of three months.

Yes. A typical first review pulls 20–40% out of an AWS bill through rightsizing, Graviton migration, S3 lifecycle policies, VPC endpoints, and disciplined use of Savings Plans applied to a corrected baseline rather than the pre-audit waste.

Yes. We approach SOC 2 as an architecture problem rather than a paperwork exercise. We have taken seed-stage teams from no compliance baseline to SOC 2 Type 1 in 14 weeks, with Type 2 observation periods starting on day one.

Yes — specifically the boundary between Shopify storefronts and the AWS backends that extend them. We build custom configurators, B2B portals, loyalty engines, ERP integrations, and Shopify-to-warehouse ETL pipelines. We are not a Shopify theme studio.

AWS (Lambda, ECS, EKS, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, EventBridge), Terraform, Go, Python, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Prometheus, Grafana, GitHub Actions, and SigNoz or Datadog for observability.

Yes. Our partner programme is designed for agencies and consultancies who want to win larger briefs without growing their delivery team. We work under your brand or in the background, and commission terms are published on our partner page.

Most engagements kick off within 2–3 weeks of a signed SOW. Urgent rescue work (a stalled migration, a failing deploy, a security incident) can start in days.
