    On-Demand Solution Architect - eSparkBiz

     Info
    Sold by: eSparkBiz 
    eSparkBiz provides on-demand AWS Certified Solution Architects for architecture reviews, cost optimization, and Well-Architected guidance - no full-time hire needed.

    Overview

    Not every architecture decision needs a full-time hire. Some just need an expert set of eyes before a costly commitment gets made. eSparkBiz - an AWS Advanced Tier Partner with 15+ years of delivery experience - structures that expertise into defined advisory hour blocks, so enterprise teams get answers when the decision is actually happening, not months later.

    Advisory Focus Areas

    Architecture and Well-Architected Review

    Existing designs get evaluated against all five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework using the AWS Well-Architected Tool. Reviews cover services including Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, and Amazon DynamoDB - surfacing risk before it becomes a production issue.

    Cost Optimization Consulting

    Spend patterns and resource provisioning get reviewed using AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Trusted Advisor, and AWS Compute Optimizer. Findings address over-provisioned EC2 instances, underutilized RDS databases, Amazon S3 storage tiers, AWS Lambda configurations, and opportunities for Reserved Instances and Savings Plans - tied directly to specific line items.

    Example: In one engagement, a mid-market SaaS company running 50+ microservices received right-sizing and Savings Plan recommendations after the review identified over-provisioned EC2 and underutilized RDS resources.

    Security and Compliance Guidance

    Access control and data handling practices get checked against current AWS security recommendations across AWS IAM, Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, Amazon VPC, and AWS Security Hub.

    Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning

    Disaster Recovery architectures get stress-tested against realistic failure scenarios - multi-AZ, multi-Region, Amazon Route 53 failover, and AWS Backup configurations - with defined RTO/RPO targets, not just compliance checklists.

    How Advisory Time Gets Used

    Engagements follow a three-phase structure:

    • Scoping Call: Sessions start by identifying the specific technical or business question driving the engagement. Sessions are typically scheduled within days of the initial scoping conversation.
    • Advisory Session: An AWS Certified Solution Architect works directly through the problem with your team, providing guidance grounded in real AWS implementation experience across services like Amazon Redshift, AWS Landing Zone, and Amazon Aurora.
    • Findings Report: Every engagement concludes with a written summary of findings and actionable recommendations your team can execute independently.

    Scope and Limitations

    This service provides expert guidance and advisory only. The following are explicitly excluded:

    • Hands-on implementation, code deployment, or configuration changes
    • 24/7 on-call support or ongoing managed services
    • Direct write access to your AWS environment (read-only access required)

    Buyer responsibilities:

    • Designate a technical point of contact (e.g., DevOps lead or cloud engineer)
    • Provide read-only AWS console access and relevant architecture documentation
    • Delivery is remote and available across time zones

    eSparkBiz Security Posture

    eSparkBiz holds SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27018:2019, ISO 20000-1:2018, and ISO 42001:2023 certifications. The team maintains CMMI Level 3 process maturity. Client data shared during advisory sessions is handled under strict confidentiality controls aligned with these certifications.

    Highlights

    • An AWS Certified Solution Architect reviews your infrastructure against the Well-Architected Framework's five pillars using the AWS Well-Architected Tool, covering services like Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon EKS, and Amazon Aurora. Design gaps are identified before they surface as production incidents. eSparkBiz is an AWS Advanced Tier Partner with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CMMI Level 3 certifications backing every engagement.
    • Advisory hours consolidate architecture, security, and cost optimization into one coordinated engagement - replacing three separate specialist reviews. Cost analysis leverages AWS Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and Compute Optimizer to identify over-provisioned resources and Savings Plan opportunities. One mid-market SaaS client with 50+ microservices received actionable right-sizing recommendations from a single advisory block.
    • Disaster Recovery Planning gets validated against actual multi-AZ and multi-Region failure scenarios using Amazon Route 53 failover and AWS Backup - with defined RTO/RPO targets. This goes beyond documentation checks to close gaps that standard architecture reviews typically miss. Sessions are scheduled within days of scoping, and every engagement concludes with a written Findings Report your team can act on independently.
