Select the challenge that best describes where your project is stuck. I'll map it to the right infrastructure tier and AWS services.
Choose the option that most closely matches your situation.
Your problem lives at the edge — between users and your origin. The right Tier 1 setup puts a CDN in front of your assets, routes DNS intelligently, terminates TLS at the edge, and optionally applies a WAF to block malicious traffic before it ever touches your backend. This is the layer that makes fast sites fast and keeps slow sites from collapsing under load.
Core AWS Services
Common Scenarios
The AWS Architecture & Deployment Blueprint service starts at $1,200 and delivers a component topology map, service selection matrix, and data-flow blueprint for up to 6 core services.
Your backend logic is outgrowing its current home. Tier 2 is about matching each processing workload to the runtime that fits it — not throwing everything on EC2. Lambda for event-driven functions, Fargate for containerized services that need isolation, SQS to decouple heavy jobs so they don't block fast paths, and EventBridge to wire services together without tight coupling.

Not every dataset belongs in the same place. Tier 3 is about matching your data access patterns to the right storage paradigm. Transactional relational data belongs in RDS or Aurora. High-velocity key-value lookups belong in DynamoDB. Frequently repeated query results belong in ElastiCache. Bulk files and exports belong in S3. Using the wrong engine for the workload is the most common source of slow queries and surprise costs.

Common Scenarios
The Database Design & Optimization service starts at $1,200 — covering up to 10 tables or 5 query optimizations. The AWS Architecture Blueprint can also map your full storage strategy.
Security in AWS is architectural, not an afterthought. Tier 4 is the foundation everything else sits on. It means putting services inside a VPC with proper subnet isolation, locking down security groups so only the right traffic flows between layers, replacing hardcoded credentials with Secrets Manager or Parameter Store, and enforcing least-privilege IAM policies so no role has more access than it needs.

The AWS Architecture & Deployment Blueprint service starts at $1,200 and includes a full Tier 4 security layer in the component topology and service selection output.
