What Happens Without a Foundation

AWS starts out simple, but as you scale, infrastructure just evolves. Environments get mixed together, resources scatter without clear ownership, and you lose visibility. Vulnerabilities slip through, and the AWS bill keeps climbing. Here's how it typically unfolds:

Day 1 - Month 6

The Honeymoon Phase

You start with a single AWS account. It's easy. You deploy manually, click around the console, and everything just works. Speed is the only metric that matters.

Month 6 - Year 1

The Silent Sprawl

New developers join. New environments are spun up. Production and staging environments blur together. Resources multiply without clear ownership. IAM policies accumulate exceptions. The bill starts creeping up.

Year 1+

The Complexity Wall

Suddenly, you're blocked. Security findings pile up in backlogs. You can't pass a compliance audit. You're afraid to deploy because things break. Your cloud bill is now a board-level concern. You're not building anymore, you're patching leaks.

✨ The Good News

This pattern is preventable. Whether you're still in the honeymoon phase or already hitting the complexity wall, it starts with a clear picture of where your AWS environment stands today.

Start With Clarity

Before we fix anything, we assess your AWS environment to find the security gaps, wasted spend, and compliance risks hiding in your accounts. You get a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, then decide how to move forward.

AWS Security Review

A deep-dive audit of your AWS security posture against CIS benchmarks.

  • Full security findings report with severity ratings
  • CIS compliance score across all accounts
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS readiness assessment

AWS Cost Optimization

Line-by-line analysis of your AWS bill to find savings you're missing.

  • Detailed cost breakdown per service and account
  • Specific savings actions (typical: 20-30% reduction)
  • Reserved Instance and Savings Plan recommendations
  • Right-sizing and orphaned resource cleanup

Every assessment includes actionable remediations you can implement yourself. Or leave it to us, like NetworkLessons.com, where we went from assessment to a full migration from ClickOps to automated infrastructure as code.

We Built the Automated Solution That Fixes What We Find

The same security gaps, cost waste, and compliance failures keep showing up in every assessment. So we built an AWS Landing Zone that solves them all at once: a multi-account foundation deployed as infrastructure as code, production-ready in weeks.

I had a fantastic experience with the service provided by Towards the Cloud. I had previously built my infrastructure using the AWS GUI and CloudFormation, but it had become outdated and difficult to maintain over time. Danny expertly evaluated my existing stack and completely redesigned it following AWS best practices. He implemented a modern multi-account architecture with separate environments for production and development, which has greatly improved our security posture and deployment workflow. Danny built everything using CDK in TypeScript and set up a GitHub CI/CD pipeline. The entire infrastructure is now defined as code, making it incredibly simple to maintain. Everything stays up-to-date automatically through the pipeline, eliminating the manual work and potential errors from my previous setup. I highly recommend Towards the Cloud for anyone looking to migrate or modernize their AWS environment!

Frequently
asked questions

What's the best way to start working with you?

Start with one of our assessments. An AWS Security Review or AWS Cost Optimization gives you a detailed report with actionable findings and a prioritized remediation plan within 48 hours. If you already know what you need, you can go straight to a Landing Zone deployment.

What does the assessment actually deliver?

A report specific to your AWS environment, not a generic checklist. It includes every finding ranked by severity, a compliance score against CIS benchmarks, and a concrete remediation roadmap your team can act on immediately. For cost assessments, you get a line-by-line breakdown with specific savings actions.

What if we want to implement the recommendations ourselves?

That works. The assessment report is yours to act on however you see fit. Many clients start with self-implementation and come back for the Landing Zone once they see the full scope of work involved. No pressure either way.

What if we only need the assessment and not the Landing Zone?

Completely fine. The assessment stands on its own. Some clients act on the findings right away, others come back months later for the Landing Zone. The report is yours regardless, no strings attached.

Will migrating to a Landing Zone disrupt our current workloads?

No. We attach the Landing Zone to your existing AWS Organization and migrate accounts gradually. Your developers keep shipping throughout. Security guardrails roll out incrementally so nothing breaks. Zero downtime.

What if we want to leave, are we locked in?

No. Everything is delivered in plain AWS CDK, an AWS-supported open-source framework. Any AWS engineer can pick up the code, and you retain full ownership. Cancel with 30 days' notice. Your infrastructure and documentation remain yours.

Why should I choose you over hiring an in-house platform engineer?

A senior platform engineer costs $150K+/year, if you can even find one. Start with an assessment to see the value firsthand. If you move forward with a Landing Zone, you get a production-ready foundation we've refined across dozens of deployments. No ramp-up time, no single point of failure.

Let's Start With an Assessment

In 30 minutes, we'll discuss your AWS environment and recommend the right starting point, whether that's a security review, cost optimization, or a full landing zone deployment.
