AWS Audit & Stabilisation

Audit your AWS setup, fix key issues, and regain control fast.

Worried your AWS setup is a time bomb?

We audit what’s running, surface what’s broken, and fix the mess before it costs you users, time, or money.

⚠️ The Problem

Most AWS setups evolve fast—and poorly. Environments grow messy. Costs spiral. Deployments become unreliable. Teams lose confidence.

This service is for when your AWS backend is already in place, but you know something’s off—or broken.

✅ Who It’s For

  • Startups and engineering teams already running on AWS
  • Teams with no dedicated AWS/cloud architect
  • Founders, CTOs, or leads worried about scale, security, or cost
  • Anyone who inherited a messy infrastructure setup and needs clarity

🚀 What You Get

This is a 1–2 week engagement to assess, prioritise, and stabilise your AWS infrastructure.

You’ll get:

  • 🔍 Environment deep-dive — We examine your entire AWS environment: services, architecture, and resource usage. You get a clear picture of what’s running, what’s redundant, and what’s risky.

  • 🛠️ Stabilisation roadmap — We deliver a prioritised plan to fix misconfigurations, close security gaps, reduce fragility, and align with AWS best practices.

  • 🚦 Deployment pipeline diagnosis — We inspect your CI/CD setup and flag what’s brittle, slow, or blocking your delivery speed.

  • 📉 Cost leak detection — We highlight unnecessary resources, inefficient setups, and usage patterns that could be quietly burning money.

  • 🔐 Security & access check — We identify weak IAM roles, risky policies, and permission sprawl that could lead to accidental or malicious exposure.

  • 📋 Hardening recommendations — You receive plain-English guidance on where to apply guardrails, backups, scaling policies, and alerts.

❌ What’s Not Included

💬 Why Work With Me

I’m an AWS-focused software architect with 15+ years of backend and infrastructure experience. I help tech teams regain control of complex systems, stabilise what’s fragile, and scale confidently—with zero fluff and no bloated retainers.

🔧 Need CI/CD Fixes Only?

If your AWS setup is mostly solid but your CI/CD pipeline is unreliable, slow, or half-manual, you might not need a full audit.

I offer a dedicated CI/CD Accelerator—a focused, 1-week engagement to review, clean up, or implement a proper deployment pipeline using AWS CI/CD tools or GitHub Actions.

Get stable, automated delivery without the chaos.

💸 Need to Reduce Your AWS Bill?

If your AWS setup mostly works but your costs are unpredictable or growing fast, you might not need a full infrastructure audit.

I offer a dedicated Cost Optimisation Audit—a focused, 5-day engagement to identify unused resources, right-size your services, and give you a clear savings plan.

Fix your AWS costs before they become a crisis.
