AWS Development & DevOps Service
Senior engineers deploying production apps on AWS with Terraform/CDK, proper IAM, observability, and cost controls.
AWS Is Powerful, Punishing, and Expensive Without Discipline
AWS is the most powerful cloud platform and the most punishing one. Every service has thirty configuration knobs, three pricing dimensions, and dependencies on five other services. Teams that "use AWS" by clicking through the console end up with sprawling untracked resources, security groups too permissive, costs they cannot explain, and an environment that nobody can recreate.
Infrastructure-as-code is non-negotiable. Terraform (HCL) or AWS CDK (Python/TypeScript) — pick one and stick with it. Every resource declared as code. Every change reviewed in a PR. State backed by S3 with locking via DynamoDB. We have rescued AWS accounts where the previous setup was 800 manually-created resources with no documentation; the rebuild took months.
IAM is the foundational discipline. Least-privilege everything: every IAM role scoped to specific resources and actions, no wildcards, no admin policies attached to compute. SCPs for organisation-wide guardrails. AWS SSO for human access. We have audited accounts where every Lambda had AdministratorAccess and every developer had AWS root.
Cost is the silent killer. Idle NAT gateways at $32/month each. CloudWatch logs retained forever at $0.50/GB-month. S3 buckets without lifecycle policies growing forever. Untagged resources impossible to attribute. RDS instances oversized "just in case." Each is a small leak; together they double bills.

All infrastructure declared as code. Modules for reusability. CI plan-on-PR, apply-on-merge.
Lambda + ECS
Serverless for event-driven, ECS Fargate for long-running. Picked per workload. Container images optimised for size.
RDS / Aurora
Postgres or MySQL on RDS / Aurora with parameter groups, automated backups, point-in-time recovery, performance insights enabled.
CloudFront + S3
Static sites and asset delivery via CloudFront-fronted S3 with proper cache headers, signed URLs, OAC for private origins.
IAM least-privilege
Roles scoped per service. No wildcards. SCPs for org-wide guardrails. AWS SSO for human access.
Cost optimisation
Audit + remediate idle resources, oversized instances, missing lifecycle policies. Tag enforcement so future cost is attributable.
