We are picking a primary cloud and AWS keeps coming up. What does Software Pro actually build on AWS for clients?

Most of our AWS work falls into four buckets: production SaaS platforms on ECS Fargate or EKS with Aurora and ElastiCache, serverless APIs on Lambda plus API Gateway plus DynamoDB for event-driven workloads, data platforms on S3 plus Glue plus Redshift or Athena for analytics, and AI workloads on Bedrock or SageMaker for clients building model-backed products. We also handle migrations from on-premise data centers and from other clouds, plus the unglamorous but essential work of right-sizing accounts that grew organically over years.

Our AWS bill is creeping up faster than our traffic. How do you bring it under control?

We start with a two-week cost audit using Cost Explorer, the Trusted Advisor recommendations, and the AWS Cost and Usage Report broken down by tag. The usual suspects in order: oversized EC2 and RDS instances that should be smaller or move to Graviton, idle resources nobody owns (orphaned EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, dev environments left running), data transfer costs from poorly placed services, and overprovisioned reserved capacity. We deliver a prioritized fix list with dollar impact per line item, then execute. Most clients see 25 to 45 percent reduction in the first quarter without changing the architecture.

We need a HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI-compliant AWS deployment. What does that look like in practice?

Every regulated AWS engagement starts with a Business Associate Agreement (HIPAA) or the relevant compliance addendum. On top of that we deploy into a Landing Zone architecture with Organizations, SCPs, and dedicated accounts per environment. CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and Config aggregate into a central audit account. Data lives in encrypted S3 buckets, encrypted RDS instances, and KMS-managed keys you control. We deliver the architecture documentation, evidence collection, and audit-ready Config rules your auditor will ask for, not just the infrastructure.

We are moving from on-premise to AWS. How do you handle the migration without breaking the business?

We start with a 3 to 4 week discovery using Application Discovery Service and Migration Hub to inventory what is actually running, what depends on what, and which workloads make sense for rehost (lift-and-shift), replatform (some changes), or refactor (substantial changes). The migration runs in waves, starting with the lowest-risk workloads to build muscle, then moving to revenue-critical systems with parallel-run cutovers. Realistic timelines run 6 to 18 months depending on application count and complexity. We bring our own runbooks, rollback procedures, and the engineers who have done this before.

Our AWS architecture grew organically over years. Can you do a real architecture audit, not a vendor sales pitch?

Yes, and the deliverable is a written report your CTO can hand to the board, not an upsell. The audit covers six dimensions of the Well-Architected Framework (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost, sustainability), with findings ranked by impact and effort. We surface the architectural debt (single points of failure, missing observability, security gaps), the cost optimizations available without redesign, and the strategic moves that are actually worth the disruption. Most audits turn up 15 to 30 actionable findings; we help you sequence them.

Questions? We've Got Answers

Your AWS Cost Questions, Answered.

Direct answers on the four patterns that quietly drive AWS overspending and how a focused audit usually finds 20 to 40% savings.

Featured Answer

How do companies typically end up overspending on AWS?

AWS overspending follows three patterns consistently. Compute oversizing where workloads run on instances two or three tiers larger than needed because right-sizing requires deliberate effort. Unattached storage and old snapshots that accumulate over years without cleanup, costing thousands per month at scale. Cross-region data transfer charges that surprise teams when traffic patterns change and architectural decisions made early no longer fit. Reserved instance and savings plan adoption that lags actual stable workload, leaving committed-use savings unrealized. A focused cost audit typically reveals 20 to 40% savings opportunities.
