What Might Your Project Look Like?
Our expertise spans the complete AWS lifecycle, with particular strength in architecture, cost optimisation, and production stability:
Architecture & Strategy
Well-Architected Reviews, pre-implementation architecture reviews, and design for security, reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
Migration & Modernisation
Migration planning and execution from on-premise and third-party cloud to AWS. Application transformation: containerisation (ECS, EKS, Fargate), serverless (Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS Aurora, API Gateway), and microservices.
Cost Optimisation & FinOps
AWS spending analysis with actionable recommendations. Cost monitoring frameworks (Cost & Usage Reports, Glue, Athena, CloudWatch) including multi-tenant per-client cost allocation.
Reliability & DevOps
High-availability patterns, auto-scaling, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipelines (CDK, CloudFormation, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) supporting operational efficiency.
Production Support & Stabilisation
Diagnosis and stabilisation support for unreliable systems: databases, containerised deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and application frameworks (Laravel, Drupal, Node.js).
Specialised Capabilities
AI/ML infrastructure (Bedrock, EMR, Glue) and regulated industry solutions (PCI-DSS, GDPR, PHI-compliant environments).
