Serverless Platform Engineering

Cubebust Deployment Platform

Production-Ready Vercel-like Serverless Platform | Multi-tenant SaaS

Platform Engineering & DevOps 2022-2023 Multi-tenant SaaS Serverless

Project Overview

Cubebust is a production-ready, multi-tenant serverless deployment platform similar to Vercel, enabling developers to deploy, manage, and scale Next.js applications with automated CI/CD, global CDN delivery, event-driven workflows, and complete user management.

Challenge

Modern development teams need platforms that simplify deployment while providing enterprise-grade features like automated CI/CD, global CDN, custom domains, SSL/TLS automation, and comprehensive observability. Building such a platform requires deep expertise in serverless architecture, event-driven systems, Infrastructure as Code, and multi-tenant SaaS design.

Solution

Built a comprehensive serverless deployment platform with:

  • Git-Based CI/CD: GitHub-integrated deployment workflow with automatic builds, tests, and deployments on every push
  • Infrastructure as Code: Entire infrastructure provisioned using AWS CloudFormation for reproducible, auditable deployments
  • Next.js Hosting: Full support for SSG, SSR via AWS Lambda, and API routes deployed as serverless functions
  • Global CDN: Static assets and pages served through Amazon CloudFront with edge caching
  • Scalable Compute: AWS Lambda for serverless workloads and EC2 Auto Scaling for persistent workloads
  • User Management: Complete user lifecycle with authentication, RBAC, and secure multi-tenant isolation
  • Event-Driven Architecture: Platform built around event-driven workflows using EventBridge, SNS, and SQS
  • Observability: Centralized logging, metrics, and alarms via CloudWatch

Technical Implementation

  • Serverless Compute: AWS Lambda for API execution and Next.js SSR
  • Infrastructure as Code: AWS CloudFormation for version-controlled infrastructure
  • CDN & Storage: CloudFront CDN with S3 for static assets
  • Event Processing: EventBridge, SNS, SQS for asynchronous workflows
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions for automated build and deployment pipelines
  • Networking: Route 53 for DNS, ACM for SSL/TLS certificates
  • Email Service: Amazon SES for transactional emails
  • Monitoring: CloudWatch Logs, Metrics, and Alarms for full observability
