AWS promises simplicity but delivers complexity. Businesses struggle with security risks and compliance requirements that divert developers from core product work.
Without AWS expertise, you face vulnerabilities, technical debt, and market delays while competitors race ahead.
Traditional consultancies worsen this by prioritizing billable hours over outcomes.
We take the opposite approach, focusing exclusively on business outcomes by eliminating AWS complexity, accelerating your developers, and securing your infrastructure through:
30% Lower TCO: Cut Total Cost by 40% through right-sized resources while eliminating the $150K+ cost of a specialized AWS hire.
Accelerate Development: Redirect 30% of engineering time from infrastructure to revenue-generating features with pre-built, compliant CDK components.
Compliance-Ready Infrastructure: Meet security requirements from day one with architecture that speeds up audit preparation by 90% for SOC 2, HIPAA, and other security frameworks.
All of this is included in a fixed monthly subscription. No lock-in, no large upfront costs, just predictable monthly pricing.
Book a free call to see how we deliver 10x AWS infrastructure value at a fraction of a Cloud Engineer's cost.
New in version 2!
Added support for L1 constructs snippets in AWS CDK Python! Open up a CDK Python project and type l1 to trigger the L1 construct autocomplete.
Features
Comprehensive Support: Seamlessly integrates all CloudFormation resources as L1 constructs within CDK, ensuring you have access to the latest AWS offerings.
Effortless Autocomplete: Activate autocomplete with l1-<cloudformation-resource> to streamline your coding process.
Weekly Updates: Construct snippets are refreshed weekly in line with AWS's updates to their CloudFormation Resource Specification, keeping you on the cutting edge.
Placeholder Support: Navigate efficiently through resource properties using the Tab key, thanks to built-in placeholder functionality.
Required Property Highlighting: Easily identify mandatory properties, highlighted with a // required comment for your convenience.
Documentation at Your Fingertips: Access the corresponding CDK resource documentation directly from the autocomplete prompt, enriching your development experience.
Add L1 constructs using their short prefix (e.g. l1-s3-bucket for s3.CfnBucket).
Example:
Note: Once you start typing a prefix (explained in step 3), the corresponding snippet shows up in the dropdown menu. If this doesn't happen automatically, press ctrl + space to invoke IntelliSense and search for the prefix of the resource type that you want to add (as listed in step 3).
