Well-Architected & DevSecOps Review
AWS Well-Architected Review
The six pillars, run properly, with findings graded and costed.
- Turnaround
- 7–10 business days
- Who it is for
- Teams preparing to scale, or inheriting an estate they did not build.
01 — The problem
A Well-Architected Review done as a questionnaire produces a document. Done properly it produces a prioritised list of things that will actually break, and what each one costs to fix.
02 — What is included
Exactly what you get, and nothing vague.
- All six pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost, sustainability
- Evidence gathered from the account, not from a questionnaire
- Findings graded Critical / High / Medium with remediation effort estimated
- Terraform or CloudFormation snippets for the fixes where they apply
- A walkthrough session with your engineers, not just a PDF
03 — What this usually finds
The recurring ones, named up front.
- No tested restore path, only backups
- Single points of failure introduced by a migration
- Runbooks that describe a system that has since changed
- Alerting that would not have caught the last incident
Listed because they recur, not because they are guaranteed. The audit reports what is actually there.
Next step
Twenty minutes to find out whether this is worth doing.
Every engagement runs under a signed mutual NDA with a read-only IAM role. If the audit would not pay for itself, I will say so on the call.
