Hiring a Webiny developer means deploying an open-source headless CMS that runs entirely on AWS serverless services — Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront, and Elasticsearch. Webiny provides a page builder, headless CMS, form builder, and file manager as integrated applications, all deployed to your own AWS account through Pulumi infrastructure-as-code.
The serverless-first architecture delivers auto-scaling, pay-per-use pricing, and elimination of server management. However, deploying Webiny requires AWS infrastructure expertise: IAM permissions, VPC configuration, DynamoDB capacity planning, and Lambda cold start optimization are infrastructure concerns that replace traditional server management with cloud platform engineering.
We deploy Webiny with AWS infrastructure designed for production — addressing security, cost optimization, and performance tuning across the serverless stack.
Infrastructure Deployment and AWS Configuration
Webiny’s Pulumi-based deployment creates dozens of AWS resources. The default configuration works for development but requires tuning for production workloads — DynamoDB capacity modes, Lambda memory allocation, and CloudFront distribution settings all impact cost and performance.
We configure Webiny AWS deployments with:
- DynamoDB capacity modes selected based on content volume and access patterns (on-demand vs. provisioned)
- Lambda function memory and timeout tuning per function type (API handlers, image processing, search indexing)
- CloudFront distribution configurations with custom cache policies for content API responses
- IAM policies scoped to minimum required permissions per Webiny application component
This ensures the serverless infrastructure is cost-efficient under actual workload patterns rather than default settings.
Content Modeling and Multi-Tenant Architecture
Webiny’s headless CMS provides a visual content model builder with localization support, and the page builder offers drag-and-drop page creation. Multi-tenant configurations allow a single deployment to serve multiple projects.
We architect Webiny content systems with:
- content model designs that leverage Webiny’s field types including dynamic zones for flexible content composition
- multi-locale configurations with content delivery filtered by locale at the API level
- page builder template libraries with reusable block definitions for marketing team self-service
- multi-tenant project configurations with isolated content spaces sharing infrastructure
The result is a serverless CMS that scales automatically with traffic, costs nothing at rest, and provides full content management capabilities — all running in your own AWS account with complete data ownership.
