    What Might Your Project Look Like?

    Our expertise spans the complete AWS lifecycle, with particular strength in architecture, cost optimisation, and production stability:

    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.

    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
