AWS DevOps & Engineering

Production-grade AWS DevOps, delivered by AWS-certified engineers.

We build and operate ECS, EKS, and AWS-native CI/CD pipelines for FinTech, HealthTech, and SaaS scale-ups. Three engagement models: project-based, monthly retainer, or embedded team. AWS Advanced Tier Partner. Founder-reviewed on every engagement.

What We Build

Six DevOps capabilities, delivered to production.

Every engagement covers some combination of these. Most start with one or two, expand into more over time. All designed for production workloads, not toy projects.

01 · CONTAINERS

ECS & EKS orchestration

Container platforms built for production. ECS Fargate for serverless containers, EKS with Karpenter auto-scaling for Kubernetes workloads. Reference architectures, auto-scaling groups, blue-green deployments, zero-downtime releases.

ECS FargateEKSKarpenterECRApp Mesh
02 · CI/CD

AWS-native pipelines

CI/CD pipelines on AWS CodePipeline + CodeBuild, or GitHub Actions with OIDC federation into AWS. Multi-environment promotion (dev → staging → prod), automated testing gates, artifact management, rollback workflows.

CodePipelineCodeBuildGitHub ActionsCodeDeployCodeArtifact
03 · INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE

Terraform & CDK, module-driven

All infrastructure as code. Terraform with reusable modules, AWS CDK for application-aware stacks, or CloudFormation when CDK doesn't fit. Drift detection, state management, environment promotion, peer review on every change.

TerraformAWS CDKCloudFormationAtlantis
04 · OBSERVABILITY

Logs, metrics, traces unified

Production observability that lets your team debug at 3am. CloudWatch dashboards, structured logging, distributed tracing with X-Ray or Datadog APM, alerting routed to your incident channels. RUM for client-side, synthetics for SLO monitoring.

CloudWatchX-RayDatadogGrafanaPrometheus
05 · NETWORKING & SECURITY

VPC architecture, WAF, secrets

Multi-account VPC design, transit gateway architecture for hub-and-spoke, ALB and NLB load balancing, AWS WAF for application protection, Secrets Manager for credential rotation, KMS for encryption-at-rest. Compliance-aware by default.

06 · DATA LAYER

RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB ops

Database operations done right. RDS and Aurora multi-AZ with read replicas, DynamoDB with proper key design and capacity planning, automated backups with PITR, secure migration tooling, performance tuning. Production-grade or we don't ship it.

How We Engage

Three ways to work with us.

Different teams need different commitment models. We support three: defined-scope projects with a clear handoff, monthly retainers for ongoing change requests, and embedded team engagements where we work alongside your developers.

How We Deliver

Same delivery process, regardless of engagement model.

Project, retainer, embedded — every engagement runs through the same four phases. Discovery is where we earn trust before scope. Implementation is where we earn it during. Handoff is where we earn it after.

01

Discovery

30-60 minute call with the founder. We assess current state, understand goals, and identify the highest-leverage starting point. No sales rep, no junior account manager.

Free · 1 week
02

Architecture

Reference architecture document for the proposed solution. Founder-reviewed before it goes to you. Includes AWS Well-Architected mapping, cost estimate, and SOW with milestones.

Paid scoping · 1 week
03

Implementation

AWS-certified engineers building against the agreed architecture. Weekly status calls with founder attendance. Material decisions go through the founder before changes ship.

4-12 weeks typical
04

Handoff

Documented handover with runbooks, architecture diagrams, and operations playbooks. 30 days of post-handoff support. Optional retainer for ongoing operations.

2 weeks · then optional
Who This Is For

Be honest with you about fit.

We're not the right partner for every AWS workload. The honest answer about who we serve well, and who we don't, saves both sides time.

Strong fit

If you are…

  • A FinTech, HealthTech, or B2B SaaS scale-up running production AWS workloads
  • Early-stage through growth-stage, 20–300 employees, growing the engineering team
  • Needing AWS-certified DevOps capacity but not wanting to hire another full-time engineer
  • Concerned about compliance posture (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, sector-specific)
  • Tired of agencies promising AWS-certified delivery but assigning juniors to the actual work
  • Ready to invest in production-grade infrastructure, not patch jobs
Not a fit

If you are…

  • Pre-product companies looking for the cheapest possible AWS setup
  • A staffing-only need where you want one engineer at body-shop rates
  • Looking for someone to write code in your application stack (we do infrastructure, not product engineering)
  • Running primarily on Azure or GCP with no AWS roadmap
  • An enterprise needing 200-engineer scale with formal redundancy at the AWS-certified architect level (Big Four consultancies are a better fit)
Engagement Options

Three ways to engage, one standard.

Every engagement starts with a free scoping call. We share full pricing before any commitment — no gated discovery, no surprise invoices.

Who You'll Actually Work With

This engagement runs through me, personally.

The AWS-certified specialist on your discovery call leads the implementation team on your engagement. No bait-and-switch. No junior-led delivery.

Discovery call: I attend, no exceptions
Architecture sign-off: before any work begins
Weekly review: I'm on every call, every week
Material decisions: go through me first
Deliverable sign-off: my signature, my reputation
30 days post-handoff: direct line to me

Common Questions

Questions buyers ask before we engage.

Don't see your question? Book a 30-minute call and ask directly.

Book a call →
Do you only work on AWS, or are you cloud-agnostic?+
AWS-only. We're an AWS Advanced Tier Partner with five active AWS certifications across the team. We don't pretend to have equal depth on Azure or GCP. If your roadmap involves multiple clouds, we can integrate with what you have, but our primary work is AWS-native.
What's the smallest engagement you'll take on?+
It depends on scope and complexity. Below a certain threshold, the overhead of scoping and AWS-certified reviews doesn't justify the engagement for either side. We'd rather refer you to someone smaller than overpromise on a tiny scope. Book a scoping call and we'll give you a clear number.
Do you write application code, or only infrastructure?+
Infrastructure, CI/CD, and DevOps tooling primarily. We don't build product features in your application stack. We do write supporting code (Lambda functions for AWS automation, integration glue, deployment scripts, infrastructure-related tooling) but not the application your customers use.
Can you take over an existing AWS environment we didn't build?+
Yes — this is a common starting point. We'd begin with a 1-2 week assessment to understand the current state, identify risks and gaps, and propose a remediation path. Many clients arrive this way after a previous partner left them with infrastructure they couldn't maintain.
How do you handle on-call and production incidents?+
For project engagements, we're not on-call by default. For retainers, response SLAs apply during business hours. For embedded engagements and managed operations, we offer 24/7 response as part of our CloudOps service. If 24/7 is critical to your situation, look at the CloudOps page.
Do you have references from past clients?+
Yes. After our discovery call, we'll connect you directly with 2-3 past clients in similar situations. They'll confirm what we delivered, how the founder-led model worked, and where we fell short. We don't pretend to be perfect — we share both wins and failures honestly.
What time zones do you work in?+
India HQ, with team coverage giving roughly 09:00 to 16:00 GMT for UK/EU clients, and 11:00 to 16:00 AEST for Australian clients. Weekly review calls are scheduled in those overlap windows. For embedded engagements, we adjust working hours to align with your team's primary time zone.
