Most AWS setups develop gradually, adding resources as needed and often under strict deadlines, without a clear plan. This approach works for a while, but eventually leads to hidden security risks, single points of failure, and confusing costs.
An independent architecture review offers a perspective different from that of a certified AWS Solutions Architect. I am not here to sell you more services - just to provide an honest look at what works, what is risky, and what should be fixed first.
What You Get
- Full AWS Well-Architected Framework review across all 6 pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability
- Threat modeling for your current architecture, including checks for IAM over-permissions, public exposure, and missing encryption
- Analysis of single points of failure across your compute, networking, and database layers
- Review of your cost structure with practical recommendations for quick improvements
- A report that ranks findings as Critical, High, or Medium, and includes effort and impact scores for each
- A 60-minute debrief call for reviewing the findings together and answering your questions
- Optional: A 30-day follow-up check-in after you have addressed the top findings
How It Works
- Intake questionnaire: You share your current architecture diagram, or I may assist you in creating one. We will also define the AWS account access needed and discuss your main concerns.
- Review (3–5 days): I will carefully assess your setup against AWS Well-Architected best practices and supplement this with a direct inspection via read-only access.
- Report delivery: You receive a detailed written report with severity ratings, root cause analysis, and explicit steps for remediation
- Debrief call: We will have a live session with your team to go over the findings, answer questions, and plan the subsequent steps together
