AWS Architecture Review

Why review your AWS architecture?

When environments grow quickly, original design assumptions stop holding. Costs creep, monitoring becomes patchy, IAM gets messy, and a small number of engineers carry too much context. A focused review gives you back visibility and a clear next step.

What the review covers

• •Account structure
• •IAM and access
• •Networking
• •Compute
• •Databases
• •Storage
• •Backup and recovery
• •Monitoring and logging
• •Alerting
• •Cost visibility
• •Tagging
• •CI/CD
• •Infrastructure as Code
• •Security posture
• •Resilience and scaling
• •Operational ownership

Common issues we find

• •Unused or oversized compute
• •Untagged spend hiding in shared accounts
• •Single points of failure in production
• •Backups that have never been tested
• •Manual deploy steps that block releases
• •IAM policies that grew without review
• •No clear DR or recovery objective

What you receive

• •Architecture findings
• •Risk register
• •Cost opportunities
• •Resilience observations
• •Monitoring gaps
• •Prioritised roadmap
• •Quick wins
• •Recommended next steps

Who should book one

SaaS founders and CTOs preparing for scale, investment or audit; finance leaders worried about AWS cost growth; technical leads who want a senior second opinion before committing to a direction.

Review process

1. Discovery call to align on goals, constraints and access.
2. Read-only review of your AWS environment and supporting artefacts.
3. Findings draft and clarifying interviews with your team.
4. Prioritised roadmap and review call with practical next steps.

Case study summary

A UK SaaS team used the review to surface avoidable spend, identify resilience gaps and unblock a stalled monitoring rollout — then used same-week support slots to deliver the top fixes without diverting their internal engineers.
