Why we created the HAT

Generic solutions imposed concrete limits on what we wanted to achieve for our clients.

We wanted to build sustainable digital environments, capable of evolving with needs without becoming bloated.

So we created a system in our image: a performant and economical serverless AWS architecture, open and integrable. Designed to expose and share data fluidly, including for emerging practices in the AI era, including AEO.

In 10 seconds

A serverless platform that centralizes your content and data, distributes it in multiple formats (websites, APIs, exports), and saves you from rebuilding a management interface for each new project.

Centralized Management

Manage content and data in a single interface. Flexible configuration, efficient workflow, and integrated multi-project management.

Multi-format Exposure

Generated websites (< 50 ms global), native JSON APIs, CSV/JSON exports. Automatic CDN distribution.

Serverless Infrastructure

AWS Lambda + DynamoDB + CloudFront. Automatic scalability. Enterprise-level security. Costs < $100/month.

What makes the HAT different

Proven serverless architecture since 2020. Optimized performance, predictable costs, and maximum flexibility.

Serverless AWS Architecture

Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFront, S3. Automatic scalability, no infrastructure to manage. Global performance ensured by CDN.

Performance < 50 ms

Response time under 50 ms. Advanced optimization, intelligent caching, and global delivery via CDN.

Costs < $100/month

Serverless infrastructure = costs proportional to usage.
50,000+ people served for less than $100/month. No surprises.

Contexts where the HAT excels

The HAT is particularly effective in certain contexts. Let’s explore yours together.

The HAT excels when you have:

  • Projects requiring advanced content or application data management
  • Websites demanding high performance (< 50 ms)
  • Interactive applications, client portals, or custom internal tools
  • Strict accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • Content to distribute across multiple channels (web, mobile, APIs)
  • Infrastructure cost reduction objectives over the long term
  • Desired serverless architecture
  • Automatic scalability needs (unpredictable growth)

Every project is unique. Let's discuss your specific context.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get the HAT?

The HAT is not sold separately. It is the platform we use to design and deliver your custom solutions.
It is provided as part of your project and then maintained under an annual license that includes ongoing support.


How do costs work?

Costs include:

  1. Initial development of your custom solution
  2. An annual license including ongoing support
  3. AWS infrastructure, typically < $100/month for 50,000+ people served, depending on usage

How is the HAT different from generic solutions?

The HAT is designed for serverless AWS:

  1. Performance < 50 ms
  2. Automatic scalability for unpredictable growth
  3. No servers to maintain
  4. Multi-format headless architecture (HTML, JSON, APIs)
  5. Custom templates enabling WCAG 2.2 AA compliance
  6. No dependency on third-party plugins

It is a low-code/no-code technical foundation designed for custom projects that require flexibility, performance, and long-term durability.


Who manages hosting, updates, and maintenance?

We manage the complete AWS infrastructure: hosting, updates, security, and backups. Your team focuses on content management; we handle the technical side. Ongoing support is included in the annual license.


What happens if you want to change providers?

Your content and data belong to you. The AWS infrastructure is hosted in your account (we are invited). You have full access to your AWS environment at all times. Content is exportable, and static sites continue to function even without the HAT. We can also support you if you choose to transition to another partner.
