AWS Cloud Architecture
AWS architecture that is secure, scalable and simple to run
Good architecture is the cheapest way to avoid outages, security incidents and runaway costs. Poor early decisions, like a single account for everything or a database that cannot scale, get more expensive to fix every month.
KLYVOX designs AWS platforms from scratch and reviews existing ones against the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation and sustainability. We favour managed and serverless services where they reduce the work your team has to do.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AWS Well-Architected review?
A structured assessment of a workload against AWS best practice across six pillars. It produces a list of risks and recommended improvements, ranked by impact.
Do you only work with serverless?
No. We recommend serverless and managed services where they reduce operational burden, and containers or EC2 where they are a better fit.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. Most engagements are collaborative: we design and pair with your engineers so the knowledge stays in-house.
