ASSESSMENT
Find the single points of failure before production does.
AWS Reliability Assessment
Reliability debt hides in “it usually works” architectures: single-AZ dependencies, untested restore paths, unclear RTO/RPO, and control-plane assumptions that fail under load. We assess your AWS footprint for failure domains, multi-AZ posture, data durability, and operational runbooks—with a bias toward the platforms product teams actually run (often EKS, databases, and networking).
What you get
Clear deliverables and a practical handover—so your team can keep moving after the engagement.
Reliability risk assessment
Failure domains across compute, data, networking, and identity—ranked by impact.
RTO/RPO reality check
What your architecture can deliver today vs stated recovery goals.
Remediation roadmap
Prioritized fixes, validation exercises, and ownership recommendations.
Typical outcomes
- A ranked list of reliability risks with blast radius and likelihood
- Clarity on RTO/RPO vs what your current design can actually deliver
- Concrete remediations for multi-AZ, backups, and failover paths
- A reliability backlog your engineering leads can schedule with confidence
How we work
A predictable flow that reduces risk, keeps stakeholders aligned, and delivers real progress fast.
01
Scope
Agree on critical systems, environments, and recovery goals.
02
Assess
Review architecture, configs, backups, and operational evidence.
03
Validate
Identify untested assumptions and recommend game-day checks.
04
Recommend
Deliver ranked remediations and a practical execution order.
Good fit if…
- You run production on AWS and depend on it for customer-facing uptime
- You suspect single points of failure but lack a structured review
- Backups exist but restores and failover are rarely proven
- You’re scaling a SaaS/product platform and reliability is becoming a board-level topic
Not ideal if…
- You’re still choosing a cloud provider or planning a first migration only
- You want a compliance checkbox audit with no engineering follow-through
