AWS Cloud Architecture

Cloud architecture, systems integration, and data pipeline support for institutions that need senior AWS coverage without standing up a full cloud team.

Retainer scope

Included categories, not an hour pool.

Capacity is defined from day one as scope categories plus a 2 hour response SLA. Generous by design. Work outside these categories is scoped as project work.

  • Architecture design and reviewAssessment of what you are running today and a practical plan for what it should look like, sized to the institution rather than an enterprise template.
  • Systems integration supportConnecting applications and services so data moves without a person copying it between systems.
  • Data pipeline supportReporting and analytics pipelines that give leadership a clear view of what the systems are actually doing.
  • Operational cloud guidanceHands-on support for the environment you already run, without standing up a full internal cloud team.
  • Advisory within the engagementArchitecture and delivery guidance inside the retainer, not billed as a separate opinion.
Pricing

Band by assets. Place by workload.

Asset size sets the public price band. Discovery places you inside it based on environment complexity, integration surface, and change velocity. Not bundled into a DL4 engagement.

Tier 1 Under $500M $3,500 to $5,500 per month
Tier 3 $2B and above $8,000 to $12,000 per month

Discovery call $850 flat fee, separate from the retainer. New retainers start with a three month initial term, then true up. Project work outside retainer categories $160/hr.
