A second pair of eyes on your cloud setup
Describe what you run today. I'll reply with the few things most worth fixing first, in plain language. No sales pitch, no obligation.
Four areas, in order of risk
Access and security
IAM roles and keys, public buckets, secrets in code, and how people sign in.
Infrastructure as code
What is in Terraform, what was clicked together, and how risky a rebuild would be.
Deploys and pipelines
How code gets to production, who can do it, and what happens when it breaks.
Visibility and cost
Whether you would know about an outage before your customers, and where money leaks.
What a Free AWS Review reply looks like
A typical reply for a small startup on AWS, sorted by what to fix first:
Fix this week
Two IAM users have admin rights and access keys older than a year. Move them to roles with MFA and delete the keys.
Fix this month
Your GitHub Actions deploy uses stored AWS keys. Switch to OIDC so each run gets short-lived credentials.
When you have time
Dev servers run all weekend and CloudWatch logs never expire. A schedule and a 30-day retention save roughly 10 percent of the bill.
Start here
What happens next
If you want me to fix what I find, typical next steps are the AWS cost review (from $150), a CI/CD pipeline ($300) or the AWS Foundation ($600). How payment works.
Prefer a checklist? Run the S3 security checklist. Want a quick number first? Try the savings estimator or the policy checker.
Free AWS Review: common questions
Is the Free AWS Review really free?
Yes. You get the written findings for free. If you want me to fix them, I quote a fixed price first, and you are free to fix them yourself.
Do I need to give you access to my AWS account?
No. A short description of what you run is enough for the first review. If we work together later, I use a read-only role, never your passwords or keys.
What should I write in the description?
Which services you use (for example EC2, EKS, RDS, S3), how code gets deployed, whether you use Terraform, your rough monthly bill, and what worries you most.
How long does it take?
You get a reply within one business day.
