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.
