Latifold built and deployed the AWS infrastructure for Fundlife.ai’s AI-powered contract intelligence platform — application stack, AI/ML endpoints, multi-tenant data isolation, and CI/CD — in six weeks.
Historical cloud engineering engagement. The work, service arrangements and outcomes below describe this engagement; they are not current platform offers or performance guarantees.
The stack spans eu-west-1: ECS Fargate for Next.js and Django, RDS PostgreSQL with tenant schemas, API Gateway and Lambda for AI workloads (OpenAI + T5), wildcard subdomains, per-tenant S3 buckets, Route 53 and ACM, and GitHub Actions to ECR for zero-touch ECS rollout.
Below is the full published narrative: workload view, what we built, deliverables, timeline, impact and ROI, and customer quote.
AWS ECS Fargate, Application Load Balancers, Amazon ECR, Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL), AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon S3, AWS Certificate Manager, Amazon Route 53, GitHub Actions CI/CD — plus OpenAI and T5-based inference on serverless compute.

AI endpoints deployed as Lambda functions behind API Gateway
Services live on ECS Fargate with auto-deploy CI/CD
Tenant-isolated architecture with per-tenant subdomains and S3 buckets
From first commit to production across app, API, and AI stack
Fundlife.ai is building an AI-powered contract intelligence platform that helps fund administrators draft, review, and analyse legal documents. The product team (Tribes Agency) had built the application — a Next.js frontend and Django backend — but needed AWS infrastructure to get it into production.
| Component | Stack | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Frontend | Next.js | Containerised on ECS Fargate, custom domain (app.dev.fundlife.ai). |
| Backend | Django / Python | ECS Fargate, RDS PostgreSQL, tenant-isolated schemas via subdomain routing. |
| AI / ML | OpenAI + T5 transformer | Lambda functions behind API Gateway for text generation, conflict detection, entity recognition, and thesis extraction. |
| Platform | — | Multi-tenant S3 buckets (fundlife-{tenant}), GitHub Actions CI/CD, custom domains with ACM certs. |
Stood up an ECS Fargate cluster in eu-west-1 with separate services for the Next.js frontend and Django backend, RDS PostgreSQL for the database, ECR repositories for container images, and ALBs with ACM certificates handling HTTPS. Configured custom domains (app.dev.fundlife.ai, api.dev.fundlife.ai) and resolved environment-specific issues including frontend build config and CORS settings.
Refactored the data science team’s Python notebooks into deployable Lambda functions and stood up API Gateway at ai.dev.fundlife.ai with four endpoints: text generation (clause improvement and recommendations), conflict detection, entity recognition, and investment thesis extraction. Configured OpenAI API key management and S3 integration for tenant-specific training data.
Configured wildcard subdomain routing so each tenant gets a dedicated subdomain ({tenant}.api.dev.fundlife.ai) that maps to the same backend service, which uses the subdomain to route requests to the correct database schema. Created per-tenant S3 buckets (fundlife-{tenant}) for document and AI model data isolation.
Built GitHub Actions pipelines that auto-build Docker images and push to ECR on merge to the dev branch. ECS services pick up the new image tag and roll out automatically — zero-touch deployments for the product team.
ECS Fargate application cluster — frontend and backend services on Fargate with ALBs, ACM certs, and custom domains in eu-west-1.
RDS PostgreSQL database — managed database instance with tenant-isolated schemas and automated backups.
AI Lambda endpoints — four Lambda functions behind API Gateway at ai.dev.fundlife.ai: text generation, conflict detection, entity recognition, thesis extraction.
Multi-tenant infrastructure — wildcard subdomain routing, per-tenant S3 buckets, and schema-level data isolation.
CI/CD pipeline — GitHub Actions to ECR to ECS auto-deploy on merge to dev branch.
Domain & certificate management — fundlife.ai domain migrated to Route 53 with ACM certificates for all subdomains.
Six weeks from initial deploy to full production stack including AI endpoints. Scope expanded during the engagement as the product team added AI features and multi-tenant requirements.
ECS cluster, ECR repos, RDS PostgreSQL, and ALB provisioned. Frontend and backend services live on temporary domains ahead of custom domain cutover.
GitHub Actions pipelines wired, fundlife.ai domain migrated, custom subdomains configured, CORS and environment variable issues resolved.
Lambda functions deployed behind API Gateway, notebook code refactored, wildcard subdomain routing and per-tenant S3 buckets configured.
End-to-end testing across all endpoints, security review, and operational handoff to the product team.
Fundlife.ai went from application code on localhost to a production platform they could demo to clients in six weeks. Without Latifold, the product team would have needed to hire a DevOps engineer, learn AWS, and piece together the infrastructure themselves — burning months before a single client could see the product. The comparison below shows what this would typically look like as an internal effort.
| Dimension | Typical internal path | With Latifold |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | 3–5 months to stand up ECS, RDS, CI/CD, API Gateway, Lambda, and multi-tenant infrastructure. | 6 weeks — full stack including AI endpoints, multi-tenancy, and CI/CD. |
| Engineering effort | 3–6 person-months (≈ 480–960 hours) of DevOps/platform engineering the product team didn’t have. | Product team stayed focused on features — first client demo happened during the engagement. |
| Fully-loaded cost | Roughly €45k–€100k in hiring and engineering time, before the cost of delayed revenue. | Engagement unblocked client demos and revenue conversations months earlier than the internal path. |
Figures shown are typical ranges for comparable work and will vary by baseline maturity, constraints, and team size.
“Latifold took our application code and gave us a production platform we could demo to clients. The AI endpoints, multi-tenancy, and CI/CD pipeline all just worked.”
