AWS infrastructure nobody
is afraid to touch.

We assess your account against all six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost and sustainability, using a read-only IAM role. You get a scored report, a risk register and a prioritized fix list ranked by impact, typically within two weeks. It is a fixed-price engagement with no obligation to continue.

It depends on traffic shape, latency requirements and who operates it. Spiky or event-driven workloads usually favor Lambda; steady traffic, long-running processes and teams who want portable Docker images usually favor ECS or Kubernetes. We model both against your real numbers and write the trade-offs into a decision record, including the honest cases where a plain EC2 auto-scaling group wins.

No. Right-sizing means matching every resource to measured utilization: some instances shrink, some databases actually grow, idle environments get schedules or get deleted, and steady workloads move to savings plans. The goal is a bill that maps to what the business actually runs, most accounts we review land 25–40% lower without giving up headroom.

Minutes, not days, and scheduled, not discovered. We replicate data to the new environment ahead of time, drop DNS TTLs, rehearse the cutover end to end and keep a rollback path live throughout. Most migrations off a single EC2 server or shared hosting cut over in a window under an hour, and the exact number is agreed in the runbook before migration night.

Explicit, written RPO and RTO targets, how much data you could lose and how long recovery takes, designed into the architecture, not promised afterward. Before sign-off we run a timed restore of the full environment from backups, and the runbook we hand over is the one we just used. A restore your team has watched succeed is the only DR guarantee worth having.

Console-built infrastructure lives in one person’s memory; Terraform lives in version control. Every change is reviewed in a pull request, staging and production stay identical, drift is detectable, and a full environment can be rebuilt in hours instead of reverse-engineered over weeks. We also import existing click-built accounts into Terraform, so you do not need to start over to get there.

We give you a cost model per environment before anything is built, not a shrug and a dashboard afterward. As reference points: a typical small-business production workload on ECS with RDS Postgres runs in the low hundreds per month; multi-account setups with DR replicas run higher. Budgets, alerts and tagging ship with the build, so the first surprising bill never arrives.

Well-architected reviews are fixed-price. Architecture and migration projects are scoped after the review and quoted as a fixed project, and ongoing operations run as an optional monthly retainer you can stop anytime. You own the Terraform, the documentation and the account, there is no lock-in by design.
