Overview
An AWS account that grew organically becomes hard to trust — costs creep, security gets murky, and every change feels risky. AWS infrastructure consulting gives you a cloud environment that's reliable, secure, observable, and cost-aware, so your team can ship on it without wondering what might break.
MyTechTeam builds and improves practical AWS infrastructure for SaaS platforms, web applications, APIs, and business-critical systems. That might mean a fresh environment, an architecture review, performance tuning, security hardening, or a cost cleanup — whatever moves you from fragile to dependable.
Reviewed and rebuilt RDS and its associated services. Upgraded development and production resources, and advised on cost savings and a clear path to modernise the legacy environment.
Outcome Rebuilt RDS, upgraded production, and a costed upgrade path for the legacy environment.
Problems We Solve
- Your AWS account has grown organically, with no clear architecture behind it
- Applications run on single servers with little backup or failover planning
- IAM, networking, and security groups are hard to audit and harder to trust
- Costs keep rising because compute, storage, and database usage go unreviewed
- Production monitoring doesn't explain why the application or infrastructure failed
- Environments are configured by hand and are impossible to reproduce reliably
What We Deliver
- An AWS architecture review and clear target-state design
- A review of your VPC, subnets, routing, security groups, and IAM
- Compute architecture using EC2, ECS, Lambda, load balancers, or the right fit for your workload
- Database setup and optimisation for RDS or EC2-backed applications
- Caching setup and optimisation with Redis, Memcached, or Valkey workloads
- CDN with Cloudfront and secure handling to S3 resources
- Backup, retention, monitoring, and recovery recommendations
- A cost optimisation review covering sizing, storage, data transfer, and idle resources
- Documentation for the implemented architecture and day-to-day operations
Technology Stack
- AWS EC2, ALB, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM, VPC, Route 53, and CloudWatch
- Docker for application packaging where containerisation fits the workload
- Terraform, Chef or Ansible where infrastructure-as-code suits the team
- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, or Jenkins for reliable CI/CD
- Linux and Ubuntu server operations, hardened and configured with best practices
- Nginx, Traefik, and common reverse-proxy patterns depending on your application stack
- PHP, Rails, Python, Node.js, and common SaaS application stacks
How We Work
Review
Review your current AWS account structure, network layout, access controls, and workloads.
Identify risks
Surface the reliability, cost, security, and deployment risks across the environment.
Design target state
Design a target architecture that fits your application, team size, and growth plan.
Implement in stages
Roll out changes in stages to reduce downtime and rollback risk.
Operationalise
Add monitoring, backup verification, and operational documentation.
Review cost
Check usage and cost after implementation so the environment stays maintainable.
Example Architecture
A common target architecture includes a load-balanced application tier, a managed RDS database, private networking for sensitive resources, controlled IAM access, object storage for static assets and backups, centralised monitoring, and CI/CD-driven deployments.
FAQs
Yes. We review your current resources, find the waste and risk, then prioritise the changes that cut cost or improve reliability first.
Yes. Traditional 'Single' Server applications (eg a Magento, Wordpress or Laravel application) can often be easily horizontally scaled to provide improved performance and reliability, and rarely requires major code replatforming to achieve.
It usually requires a code review of your codebase to identify any resources that need to be shared, this is usually authentication / session handling, file management and other resources.
We will work with your team to determine the best approach to ensure you can have a fault tolerant application and infrastructure in place, while trying to minimise refactoring in your codebase.
No. The right architecture depends on your application, team capability, and operational goals.
We work with you to ensure the underlying infrastructure is built for purpose, be it single or multiple EC2 instances, a cluster of EC2 servers with auto scaling, or EKS for large scale containerisation management.
Yes. Documentation is part of every delivery, so your internal developers and operators understand exactly how the environment works.
