Well-Architected review
Your environment assessed across security, reliability, performance, cost and operations.
Run & secure
AWS built right, managed smart, costing less
We provide AWS consulting, cloud architecture, migration and managed services for UK businesses. Whether you're moving to AWS for the first time, fighting a sprawling bill, or need DevOps and infrastructure support, we design and run cloud infrastructure that is secure, scalable and cost-efficient.
Where AWS goes wrong
AWS is extraordinarily powerful, but it's easy to overspend on and hard to secure without expertise. The problems we see most: oversized servers running 24/7 for workloads that need them eight hours a day; no tagging, so nobody knows which project costs what; storage buckets with risky permissions; no tested backup or disaster recovery plan; and no cost alerts, so the bill is a surprise every month.
Our approach
Our AWS Well-Architected Review examines your environment across operational excellence, security, reliability, performance and cost. You get a prioritised action plan that tackles the biggest wins first: lower spend, tighter security and better reliability. Managed service clients also get monthly cost reports, proactive monitoring and a named consultant.

FAQs
We're new to AWS. Where do we start?
With a scoping call to understand your application, your team's skills and your requirements. We then design an architecture that fits, not an over-engineered enterprise setup. Most new environments are production-ready within 2 to 4 weeks.
Can you reduce our existing AWS costs?
In most environments, yes. Common savings come from right-sizing instances, Savings Plans or Reserved Instances for steady workloads, S3 lifecycle policies, scheduling non-production resources and removing resources nobody uses. Audits start from £499.
Do you provide ongoing AWS management?
Yes. Managed AWS (from £799 per month) includes monitoring and alerting, monthly cost reviews, patch management, backup verification, incident response and a named consultant who acts as your external cloud team.
Can you migrate our on-premise servers to AWS?
Yes. We plan and run lift-and-shift migrations and more involved modernisation projects. Every migration is phased, with a tested rollback option to minimise business risk.
Which AWS services do you specialise in?
EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, CloudFront, ECS, EKS, Route 53, IAM and CloudWatch, with Terraform for infrastructure as code. For cost we use Cost Explorer, Budgets and Savings Plans, and for DevOps we build CI/CD with CodePipeline, GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
