Who This Is For
This review is designed for founders and engineering leads who are shipping on AWS with a small or no dedicated DevOps team. You will get the most value if you have:
- ✅ A live AWS workload in production
- ✅ A CI/CD pipeline (even a basic one)
- ✅ No full-time DevOps or platform engineer on the team
If deployments feel riskier than they should, or your AWS bill is creeping up without a clear reason, this review will give you a concrete picture of where the problems are and what to do about them.
