4 AWS Infrastructure Problems Costing You Now

this is fine meme in a server room

Wasted Engineering Time

Your team spends valuable hours maintaining and fixing AWS infrastructure instead of building features. This diverts talent from core business objectives and slows product development.

Missed Optimization Opportunities

Without following AWS best practices, you're likely overpaying for resources and missing simple configuration improvements. Your monthly bill reflects these inefficiencies.

Reliability Issues Affecting Customers

Unoptimized infrastructure leads to performance problems and unexpected downtime. These issues damage customer trust and require emergency fixes at inconvenient times.

Growing Technical Complexity

Each unaddressed operational issue compounds over time. What starts as minor inefficiencies eventually requires significant time and resources to correct.

The Solution: From AWS Chaos to Operational Excellence

Our 150-Point AWS Checklist changes maintenance burdens into engineering freedom whilst reducing costs by following AWS best practices.

Reduced Maintenance
Cut operational hours by eliminating reactive troubleshooting
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Properly configured infrastructure requires fewer resources
Production Readiness
Validate infrastructure against 150+ expert-verified checks
Knowledge Acceleration
Benefit from a decade of AWS implementation experience

Who Will Benefit Most from This Checklist?

  • Development teams preparing for production launches who want to prevent post-launch emergencies
  • Organizations with existing AWS workloads looking to eliminate operational inefficiencies
  • Teams migrating from on-premises who need to avoid common cloud adoption pitfalls

If you're responsible for AWS environments and want to spend less time maintaining them, this checklist is built for you.

Frequently
asked questions

How does this differ from AWS documentation, and who is it for?

We distilled a decade of hands-on operations work into the highest-impact checks, complete with context and implementation guidance. Instead of combing through thousands of AWS pages, you get a prioritized, practical playbook that works whether you’re an AWS beginner or an experienced platform lead.

How often is the checklist updated, and can we tailor it?

We refresh the Notion database quarterly to track AWS best-practice changes. Because it’s your workspace, you can clone, tag, or add company-specific tasks, filter by service, and build views that match your operating model.

Do you help implement the recommendations?

Yes. We can scope a focused engagement or you can roll the checklist into our all-in packages for a fixed monthly retainer that covers Landing Zone setup, maintenance, and on-demand engineering support. Details are on our pricing page.

Does it apply beyond production, and what if we only use a few AWS services?

Use it to harden dev, staging, and production alike. The checklist is organized by service, so you can focus on the sections that match your footprint today while keeping the rest ready as your usage grows.
