AWS for startups between launch and scale

You shipped fast, it worked, and now real customers depend on a backend that was built for a demo. We have taken venture-backed startups through hypergrowth, fundraising due diligence and acquisition. We fix what will hurt you next, in weeks, without a rewrite.

What usually needs fixing

The stack you launched on is fighting you

Amplify and AppSync, generated DynamoDB tables, logic spread across resolvers. We move you to your own API and a data model designed on purpose, while users stay signed in.

Migrate off Amplify and AppSync

Things that leak data or lose money

Keys in the frontend bundle, open database rules, untested backups, webhooks that charge twice.

Production readiness

The bill grows faster than revenue

NAT gateways, data transfer, idle databases, AI spend with no cap, and credits that run out on a date nobody wrote down.

Cost sprint

Launch day

A launch post, a press hit or a demo-day spike finds the weakest part of your stack. We load-test it first and put caps on what can run away.

Launch readiness

Due diligence

Investors and acquirers ask about security, access, backups and who can delete production. We get you to answers you can show.
