Architecture & Well-Architected Review
A structured audit of your existing AWS account against the five Well-Architected pillars, producing a prioritized list of security, cost, and reliability fixes ranked by effort and impact.
Cloud and Staffing
AWS Consulting
AWS consulting from Quinoid helps startups and enterprises plan, design, build, test, launch, and support secure, scalable digital products with confidence.
01
Start with context
The work, in plain language
A clear view of the problem before we shape the solution.
Quinoid's AWS consulting team helps companies design, migrate, and run infrastructure on Amazon Web Services without the trial-and-error cost of learning AWS on production workloads. We work with founders who inherited a tangled EC2 setup from a previous vendor, and with engineering leaders who need a Well-Architected review before a Series B audit. Our consultants are based in India, giving clients in the US and Europe a working day that starts while their own teams sleep — issues raised at midnight Pacific Time get triaged before the next standup. That overlap, combined with India's established cloud engineering talent pool, lets us staff a project in days rather than the months a local hire would take. Engagements range from a two-week cost and security audit to an ongoing managed-infrastructure retainer covering IAM hardening, autoscaling, RDS tuning, and CloudWatch alerting. We don't sell a fixed package — we start by reading your existing architecture, then recommend only the AWS services that solve a real problem you have today.
We ask the practical questions early, involve the people who use the product, and keep the work visible as it develops.
What we can help you deliver
Focused help, shaped around the part of the journey you are in.
Cost Optimization Retainer
Monthly review of Cost Explorer data, reserved instance and savings plan recommendations, and right-sizing of EC2 and RDS instances, with savings measured against an agreed billing baseline.
Infrastructure-as-Code Migration
Converting manually clicked-together AWS environments into Terraform or CloudFormation modules, so infrastructure changes are reviewed, versioned, and reproducible across staging and production.
Dedicated AWS Engineer (Embedded)
A named AWS engineer who joins your existing team's sprints and Slack, handling infrastructure tickets alongside your developers rather than working as a detached external vendor.
How the work moves
Small, visible steps keep decisions timely and surprises rare.
Account & Workload Discovery
We review your AWS Organizations setup, billing data, and architecture diagrams (or reverse-engineer them if none exist) to map what's actually running.
Risk & Cost Prioritization
Findings get sorted into security risks, cost waste, and reliability gaps, each tagged with estimated remediation effort so you can sequence the work.
Remediation Sprints
We execute fixes in scoped two-week sprints — IAM policy tightening, autoscaling configuration, backup automation — with a demo at the end of each one.
Handover & Documentation
Every change ships with updated architecture diagrams and a runbook, so your internal team can operate the environment without depending on us indefinitely.
Ongoing Monitoring (Optional)
Clients who want continuity move to a monthly retainer covering alerting, patching, and incident response rather than re-engaging us project by project.
What better looks like
A cloud setup aligned to product and business needs
Reduced infrastructure waste and operational risk
A clearer path from current systems to scalable AWS services
05 / Why Quinoid
Experienced enough to guide. Close enough to care.
Most AWS consulting firms either oversell managed services you don't need or undersell the security gaps that will bite you later. Quinoid's India-based AWS engineers work inside your existing tools and give you architecture you actually own.
- 01
Cloud engineers who hand you Terraform code and documentation, not a black-box managed service you can't exit.
- 02
Time zone overlap means infrastructure incidents raised after your team logs off get worked on overnight, not the next afternoon.
- 03
Engagements start as small as a two-week audit — no annual contract required before we've proven the fit.
Proof in Production
Not a claim or a concept. Work that made it into people’s hands.
Questions people usually ask us.
Do you only work with companies already fully on AWS?
No. We work with teams at every stage — from a startup deploying its first EC2 instance to an enterprise running hundreds of accounts under AWS Organizations that needs governance cleanup.
Can you fix a misconfigured AWS account without disrupting production?
Yes. We stage changes in a non-production AWS account or apply them during low-traffic windows, and every IAM or networking change goes through a peer review before it touches production.
How is this different from hiring an AWS Solutions Architect full-time?
You get architect-level expertise without a six-figure salary commitment or a multi-month hiring search — you scale our involvement up or down as your infrastructure needs change.
Do you help with AWS cost reduction specifically?
Cost optimization reviews examine reserved instances, savings plans, right-sizing, storage, data transfer, and orphaned resources. Any savings estimate is calculated from the client’s actual billing baseline and approved architecture changes.
