AWS & Cloud Engineering

AWS is the core of most production cloud environments, and getting it right requires both architectural judgment and hands-on familiarity with how these systems behave in real operations. Cape & Cloud brings roughly a decade of experience working with AWS environments — from initial account structure and VPC design through serverless architecture, observability, and ongoing reliability improvement.

This is not a consulting engagement that ends with a slide deck. The work is hands-on: building, fixing, improving, and maintaining cloud infrastructure alongside your existing team or operating directly as your embedded cloud engineer. Whether that means designing a new serverless architecture, hardening an existing environment, reducing costs, or investigating a reliability issue, the engagement is built around practical outcomes rather than generic recommendations.

What this covers
