Core Offerings
1. Architectural Reviews
Before you commit to a multi-year reserved instance plan or a complex refactor, let us validate your approach.- Gap Analysis: We review your current diagrams against AWS Well-Architected Framework pillars.
- Cost Optimization: Analysis of underutilized resources and recommendations for Savings Plans or Spot Instances.
- Security Posture: High-level review of IAM policies, public-facing endpoints, and encryption standards.
2. Ad-Hoc Technical Advisory
Sometimes you don’t need a full project team; you just need a Senior Architect for an hour.- “Unstick” Your Team: Real-time troubleshooting for blockers during deployments.
- Tool Selection: Unbiased advice on choosing between AWS native tools (e.g., CodePipeline) vs. third-party solutions (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab).
- Compliance Interpretation: Translating SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO requirements into technical AWS configurations.
Typical Engagement Model
Hourly Advisory ($200/hr) This service is typically consumed via our Hourly Advisory model. It requires no long-term contracts and is strictly Time & Materials.- Communication: Slack/Teams integration or Video Calls.
- Deliverables: Written summary of recommendations, architectural diagrams (Draw.io/LucidChart), and links to relevant documentation.
