Stop every CDK change from turning into archaeology.

We review the architecture behind your CDK app, not just the code: stack boundaries, environments, deployment flow and security. Then we restructure it around best-practice constructs your team can build on.

Free 30-minute intro call, no commitment. Fixed-price CDK review from $495, agreed before any paid work starts. See how pricing works Your team's time: a walkthrough of your goals and one of the report; we do the rest.

What the review fixes

We review the architecture, then give you the constructs to manage it.

A linter finds style issues. We look at how the app is put together: which stack owns what, how environments are wired and how code reaches production. Then we turn the fixes into reusable, best-practice constructs, so the right way becomes the default way for every stack that follows.

  1. 01
    Duplicate code across stacks
    Reusable constructs that set secure defaults once.
  2. 02
    Fragile deployment pipelines
    A clear deployment flow and repository structure.
  3. 03
    Security patterns that vary by stack
    Least-privilege grants and guardrails made explicit.
  4. 04
    Monolithic stacks
    Boundaries that follow ownership, split before the repository resists change.
Human review with AI leverage

AI can spot syntax patterns. It cannot own your architecture trade-offs.

We use AI to widen the search, then apply production CDK judgement to decide what is actually risky, what should become a construct, and what should stay boring by design.

Context-aware
Findings are tied to maintainability, delivery flow and how your team actually works.
Built to last
The goal is a codebase that still works after the next ten infrastructure changes, not just the next commit.

My project became so big that claude can't properly understand it

Question

So, I made a project in python entirely using Cursor (composer) and Claude, but it has come to a point that the whole codebase is over 30 Python files, code is super disorganized, might even have duplicate loops, and Claude keeps forgetting basic stuff like imports at this point. When I ask it to optimize the code or to fix a bug, it doesn't even recognize the main issue and just ends up deleting random lines or breaking everything completely.

I have 0 knowledge about python, it's actually a miracle I got this far with the project, but now it's almost impossible to keep track of things, what do I do? already tried using cursor rules but doesn't seem to work.

How the review runs

A short review cycle with concrete output at the end.

The engagement is built to move quickly. We are not delivering an abstract slide deck. We are reviewing the repo, identifying the structural issues that matter, and handing back changes your team can use.

  1. Day 1

    Access and context

    We start from your goals, pain points and current repo structure. Read-only access to the repository is enough; we never need AWS credentials.

    • Repo access confirmed
    • Architecture context captured
  2. Days 1 to 3

    Architecture review

    We review how the app is put together: stack boundaries, environments, constructs, deployment flow, reuse and security, looking for what gets harder to change as the team grows.

    • Architecture findings
    • Construct design
    • Security and release flow
  3. Day 4

    Report, constructs and pull request

    You get an architecture report with prioritized recommendations, and a pull request that introduces best-practice constructs for the most important fixes.

    • Architecture report
    • Best-practice constructs
    • Refactoring roadmap
CDK reviews start from
$495

We review your CDK app's architecture the way a senior reviewer would and walk your team through what slows every change down. You leave with a report and a pull request that introduces best-practice constructs for the first fixes: build on them yourselves, or have us refactor the rest for a fixed quote. Larger codebases take longer to review, so $495 is where it starts.

Buy it through AWS Marketplace to keep procurement and billing inside your AWS account.

CDK Review FAQ

What teams ask
before sharing the repo

How does your review differ from AWS's Well-Architected Review?
The Well-Architected Review evaluates workloads at a high level. We dive into your CDK code, construct design, patterns, deployment pipelines, and repository structure, to improve maintainability, reusability, and safety of your Infrastructure as Code.
Who should join the session, and how much CDK experience is required?
New CDK adopters get correct patterns from the start, while seasoned teams surface overlooked optimizations. We tailor the live session to your audience, executives hear business impact, engineers get deep technical guidance, so everyone leaves with clear next steps.
Which languages do you support, and what access do you need?
We review TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, and C# CDK projects. All we need is read access to your repository via a temporary share or pull request. We never require AWS account credentials for the assessment itself.
How is our code and intellectual property protected?
Engagements run under NDA. We do not reuse or redistribute your code, and once the review concludes we remove access and delete local copies. Only your team receives the findings.
Can you help implement recommendations or provide ongoing support?
The engagement focuses on review and actionable guidance, but we can scope implementation help or ongoing enablement as a follow-on, with a fixed quote before any work starts. When the whole foundation needs rebuilding in CDK, the AWS CDK Landing Zone replaces it.
