Solution Architecture
How an international IT staffing company broke the hardware dependency ceiling — using an AWS landing zone and structured Git branching to scale its development teams on demand.
Grupo Cinte operates software factories that develop solutions for enterprise clients, including financial institutions with strict security policies and lengthy device provisioning processes. Scaling the development team was constrained by client-provided hardware — before a developer could contribute, the client had to provision a physical device, a process that could take weeks. MacondoTek designed an AWS landing zone with IaC-replicated client environments and a structured Git branching strategy on AWS CodeCommit — enabling Cinte's teams to scale on demand, work in realistic environments without client hardware, and deliver code changes securely.
Grupo Cinte is an international company specializing in IT solutions and staffing, with a global presence across multiple countries. They operate software factories that develop custom solutions for enterprise clients — including financial sector companies with stringent security policies, complex onboarding requirements, and strict controls on all systems accessed by external developers.
MacondoTek is a cloud consulting and professional services firm headquartered in Atlanta, USA, with nearshore delivery teams across Latin America, specializing in cloud architecture, data platforms, and application modernization on AWS. As an AWS Advanced Tier Partner with Service Delivery Program designations for Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB, MacondoTek supports organizations across the full cloud lifecycle, from migration through cloud-native development to 24/7 managed operations. Its proprietary MTK CloudOpps platform powers FinOps and cost governance engagements with enterprise-wide visibility across large multi-account AWS environments, including deep experience serving financial services organizations that must balance reliability, security, and compliance with cost optimization.
Grupo Cinte operates software factories that build custom solutions for enterprise clients across multiple sectors. For financial sector clients specifically, strict security policies require lengthy provisioning processes before any developer can access client systems — including physical device allocation, security vetting, and controlled onboarding. This made scaling the development team directly dependent on the client’s hardware capacity and provisioning speed, creating a hard ceiling on how quickly Cinte could staff up on a project.
Beyond hardware constraints, Cinte needed a reliable way to develop and test changes in environments that accurately mirrored client systems, and a secure, controlled process for delivering completed code to client targets without risking interference with production systems.
MacondoTek assessed Cinte’s development processes, client constraints, and operational requirements, then designed and implemented an AWS-based platform that decoupled the development workflow from client-provided hardware entirely.
The solution included:
The platform gave Grupo Cinte the ability to scale development teams independently of client hardware — and established a structured, auditable delivery workflow that improved quality and speed across the board.
Cloud-based development environments mean Cinte can onboard new developers without waiting weeks for client-provisioned physical devices — breaking the hard ceiling on team scaling for financial sector engagements.
Using Infrastructure as Code, Cinte can spin up environments that mirror client systems on demand — enabling realistic development and testing without requiring access to production client infrastructure.
Feature and task branching on AWS CodeCommit provides a controlled, auditable path from development to client integration. The technical lead serves as the single integration point, ensuring quality and consistency before every delivery.
AWS Control Tower and IAM Identity Center provide isolation between environments, clients, and teams — with centralized access control, auditability, and a governance structure that scales as the client portfolio grows.
