Towards the Cloud is an AWS cloud consultancy for startups and growing companies. We provide managed services that help you build faster, optimize costs, and maintain control over security and compliance as you scale.

Not sure where your AWS setup stands? Get a free assessment with detailed security findings and cost optimization opportunities. You'll see exactly what needs fixing—handle it yourself or let us help. No strings attached.

AWS is easy to start with, but without proper guardrails and Infrastructure as Code, complexity compounds monthly. The longer you wait, the more expensive and risky the fix becomes.

You're experiencing:

• Rising AWS bills — inefficient architectures costing 40-60% more than necessary
• Lost visibility — security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps you don't know about yet
• Team bottlenecks — engineers stuck firefighting infrastructure instead of shipping product

Traditional consultancies leave you with infrastructure you can't maintain. We provide ongoing managed services so you understand and control your AWS environment.

We implement security guardrails and Infrastructure as Code best practices at setup, then provide ongoing optimization and support so you stay in control as you scale.

What you get:

• ✅ Compliant multi-account Landing Zone — Start 100% CIS benchmark compliant with built-in security guardrails, SSO, and AWS CDK (see features)
• ✅ Pre-built secure CDK components — Use our production-ready infrastructure patterns instead of building from scratch
• ✅ Complete CI/CD with rollbacks — Deploy confidently with Infrastructure as Code safety nets
• ✅ Quarterly reviews — Proactive cost optimization and security assessments to prevent issues before they happen
• ✅ Fractional Cloud Engineer — On-demand access to expert AWS guidance when you need it

• 30-60% lower AWS costs — Documented savings through proactive optimization (see case study)
• Faster compliance certification — 100% CIS-compliant foundation accelerates SOC 2/HIPAA
• Smooth yearly audits — Automated monitoring and quarterly security reviews keep you audit-ready
• Team focuses on product — Pre-built secure components eliminate AWS infrastructure work
• No full-time hire needed — Expert cloud guidance through flexible retainer

Testimonial: Y Combinator startup Accolade's founder on how our Landing Zone accelerated their SOC 2 certification:

"Danny's solution and AWS expertise stood out with comprehensive accelerators, documentation, and clearly articulated design principles. We achieved a perfect security score in days, not months." — Galen Simmons, CEO
