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

Frequently
asked questions

How is this checklist different from AWS documentation?
While AWS documentation is comprehensive, our checklist distills a decade of practical experience into actionable tasks with implementation instructions. We've selected only the most impactful best practices that demonstrably reduce operational overhead and filtered out the theoretical or edge-case recommendations.
Do I need to be an AWS expert to use this checklist?
No. The checklist is designed for both AWS beginners and experienced practitioners. Each check includes step-by-step implementation instructions specifically written to be understandable without deep AWS expertise. That said, basic familiarity with AWS concepts will help you implement changes faster.
How often is the checklist updated?
The checklist is updated quarterly to reflect the latest AWS best practices and service improvements. When you purchase, you receive all future updates at no additional cost.
Can I modify the checklist for my needs?
Absolutely. The Notion database format allows you to customize the checklist by adding company-specific checks, modifying existing items, or filtering for only the AWS services you use.
Do you offer support for implementing the changes?
Absolutely. We can create a proposal with an estimation tailored to your organization, however it's custom and depends on the outcome of our assessment and findings. If you prefer a more flexible approach, we also offer an all-in package that includes a multi-account setup, ongoing maintenance support, and a flexible retainer for a fixed price. This way, you get predictable costs with no surprises or need for a custom proposal. Learn more about our packages.
Is this only for production environments?
No. The checklist is valuable for all environments. Use it to establish best practices in development and test environments, or to optimize existing production workloads. Many organizations use it as a pre-launch readiness assessment.
What if I only use some of the AWS services covered?
The checklist is organized by service, so you can easily focus on only the sections relevant to your infrastructure. You're not paying for irrelevant information—the comprehensive coverage ensures the checklist remains valuable as your AWS usage expands.
