Architecture Simplified

Architecture Simplified is a tailored service that begins with an in-depth analysis of your current cloud solution. I take the time to understand your pain points and specific needs, and identify areas for improvement. My goal is to simplify your architecture, reduce costs, and improve security while maintaining and improving developer experience.

The service is offered in three pricing tiers to suit businesses of all sizes and complexity.

Basic Audit & Optimization - $1,500

• Suitable for startups and small businesses with a relatively simple cloud solution.
• For solutions with around 20 or less core AWS resources, across basic services such as EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda.
• Best if you have a limited budget and are looking for quick wins to optimize your cloud costs and security.
• Includes a comprehensive audit of your current AWS setup, and identification of areas for improvement and optimization.
• Actionable plan for implementation, focusing on cost reduction, security enhancement, and architecture simplification.

Advanced Audit & Optimization - $3,500

• Suitable for early-stage scaleups or medium to large-sized businesses with a more complex cloud solutions.
• For solutions with between 20 and 50 core AWS resources, across a wider range of AWS services, including advanced networking, databases, and security features.
• Best if you are looking for a comprehensive review of your cloud solution to optimize costs, security, and developer experience, as well as recommendations for improvements and best practices.
• Includes an in-depth audit of your current AWS setup, including multi-account and multi-region setups, with identification of areas for improvement and optimization across multiple AWS services.
• Detailed plan for implementation, focusing on cost reduction, security enhancement, simplified architecture, improved developer experience and scalability.
• Ongoing support for 30 days to assist with implementation.

Enterprise Audit & Optimization - Custom Pricing (starting at $7,000)

• Suitable for large enterprises or businesses with highly complex cloud solutions.
• For more than 50 core AWS resources, across a broad array of AWS services, including advanced networking, databases, security, big data, and machine learning tools.
• Best if you require an in-depth audit and analysis of your AWS environment to ensure it meets industry best practices and compliance requirements.
• Includes a comprehensive audit of your entire cloud ecosystem, including multi-account, multi-region, and hybrid cloud setups, with identification of areas for improvement and optimization across a wide range of AWS services and architectural patterns.
• Customized plan for implementation, focusing on cost reduction, security enhancement, simplified architecture, improved developer experience, scalability and compliance with industry standards.
• Ongoing support for 60 days to assist with implementation.

Each tier includes a comprehensive audit of your cloud solution, identification of areas for improvement, and an actionable plan for implementation. The focus is on addressing your pain points, reducing costs, enhancing security, and simplifying the architecture. Advanced and Enterprise tiers also include ongoing support to assist you with any questions, concerns, or issues that may arise during the implementation process.

For clients who require assistance with the execution of the optimization plan, I offer an optional Implementation add-on service. This ensures a smoother and faster process, reduced risk of errors, and the assurance that best practices will be followed.

Optional add-on: Implementation

This is an optional add-on to the Architecture Simplified service. You are free to use your internal teams or other resources for implementation if you prefer. The cost and length of the implementation will depend on the complexity of the recommendations.

• Basic Implementation: For less complex recommendations: $1,000 fixed fee.
• Advanced Implementation: For moderately complex recommendations: $2,500 fixed fee.
• Enterprise Implementation: For highly complex recommendations: Custom quote based on the specific requirements.

The complexity of the implementation is usually related to the audit pricing tier, but it is not guaranteed to be an exact match. The final price will be communicated only after the audit is finished. In no case are you obligated to contract this add-on, you are always free to make the choice after the audit is finished and you have reviewed the recommendations and implementation plan.
