Unknown Architecture Gaps
SaaS companies often do not know what they do not know about AWS. Security misconfigurations, reliability risks, and cost inefficiencies remain hidden until they cause incidents.
AWS Well-Architected Review
AWS Well-Architected Review for SaaS Companies
The AWS Well-Architected Framework is the gold standard for evaluating cloud architecture. We conduct comprehensive reviews aligned with the framework, identifying gaps and providing a prioritized remediation plan.
- A qualifying workload is nominated.
- The free review runs against all six Well-Architected pillars.
- Risks are ranked, not dumped as a raw checklist.
- Waste is called out where the bill or the idle capacity shows it.
- A remediation roadmap is the deliverable, typically in one to two weeks.
- The plan is what the next change follows.
Key Challenges We Solve
Operational Risk Assessment
Understanding whether your infrastructure can handle 10x traffic growth, survive region failures, or maintain uptime during deployments requires expert evaluation.
Security Posture Validation
Ensuring your AWS environment follows security best practices (IAM, encryption, logging, access controls) requires systematic assessment against security frameworks.
Our Approach
Well-Architected Assessment
Comprehensive review across 5 pillars: Operational Excellence (deployment safety, observability), Security (access control, encryption), Reliability (fault tolerance, recovery), Performance (latency, throughput), and Cost Optimization (waste elimination).
Gap Analysis & Prioritization
Identify specific gaps in your architecture (missing autoscaling, poor monitoring, oversized instances) with prioritized action items based on business impact.
Remediation Roadmap
Detailed plan for addressing gaps: quick wins (1-2 weeks), medium-term improvements (1-3 months), and long-term architectural changes (3-6 months).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a Well-Architected Review?
We assess your architecture across 5 pillars using AWS review process: operational excellence (deployments, runbooks, monitoring), security (IAM policies, encryption, logging), reliability (autoscaling, failover, backups), performance (latency, throughput), and cost (waste, optimization). We provide a report with findings and recommendations.
How long does a Well-Architected Review take?
Initial discovery: 2-3 weeks (document architecture, interview teams). Assessment: 1-2 weeks. Report: 1 week. Total: 4-6 weeks from start to remediation plan.
What typically comes out of a Well-Architected Review?
Common findings: missing autoscaling (cost/reliability risk), poor logging (operational risk), oversized instances (cost waste), single points of failure (reliability risk), outdated RDS instances (cost/performance risk). Typical remediation saves 15-30% of cloud costs and improves reliability.
