Why should you consider a Well Architected Review?

A Well-Architected Review is designed to help you get the best out of your AWS environment. Not only in the short term, but as your solution grows and evolves.

If you:

Want to maximise value for money on your AWS stack
This highlights exactly where you’re overspending, under-utilising or missing out on newer, more efficient services.
Want to get your deployment times down so you can get your customers what they need quicker
By improving how your workloads are architected, automated and monitored, you can reduce bottlenecks and shorten the path from idea to production.
Want to be able to innovate faster and with less risk
The review surfaces hidden weaknesses and provides clear fixes, giving your team the confidence to experiment, iterate and adopt new capabilities without compromising stability.
Want your solution to be more reliable and more secure overall
Security and reliability are two core pillars of the framework. You’ll receive concrete recommendations that strengthen your posture and make outages, vulnerabilities and incidents far less likely.
Want to find out where you could go if you unlocked your solution’s true potential
Many teams build only a fraction of what their architecture can support. A review shows you what’s possible if your workloads are aligned with AWS best practices.

If any of that resonates, a Well-Architected Review is one of the most effective ways to improve your AWS environment.

What is the AWS Well-Architected Framework?

The Well-Architected Framework was developed by AWS to help guide customers through their cloud journey. Reviews are carried out by certified Well-Architected Partners and can focus on single or multiple workloads.

Each review considers the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework – operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency and cost optimisation – which in turn break down further into a set of design principles.

From these principles, we generate actionable recommendations. No single action is pie-in-the-sky or idealistic, but together, they act as stepping stones to a complete and long-lasting transformation of your solution and the way you work.

How it works

1. Book your review and choose your attendees

Book your free review and choose who’s going. We’ll bring our expert team of Well-Architected certified engineers and cloud consultants. You bring whoever needs to be there from both a technical and business perspective. This is not just a technical meeting so bring people from the business.

2. Attend your workshop online or in person

We run the review as a workshop. This is where we’ll discover everything we need to know about your AWS solution and workload.

3. Get your findings

After we’ve got the right information, we’ll carry out your review and feedback. This takes the form of a single comprehensive document including costings of remediation work.

4. Execute your recommendations

Working with us, you can then go on to make the changes that will bring you up to AWS best practices. These can be carried out by our team or yours, depending on what you decide.

The Five Pillars of AWS Well-Architected

The Operational Excellence Pillar

Building for operational excellence means monitoring and developing your systems to deliver increased value and innovation. Key areas of development include automation, defining standards and practices and gaining insight.

The Security Pillar

Building securely means protecting your information and systems. Key areas of development include establishing ways of tracking and responding to security events, data confidentiality and integrity and using automation to tackle security issues.

The Reliability Pillar

Building reliably means making sure a workload performs its intended function correctly and consistently. A reliable workload will be able to recover quickly and meet unexpected spikes in demand without issue. Key areas of development include distributed system design, recovery, and how to stay resilient in the face of change.

The Performance Efficiency Pillar

Building with performance efficiency in mind means using resources right. Key areas of development include matching the tools and sizings to the use case and ensuring the workload is being properly monitored.

The Cost Optimisation Pillar

Building to optimise costs means meeting the same goals for less. Common areas of development include right-sizing, consumption models, optimising resources and building up a clear picture of where overspend is occurring.

The Just After Midnight Difference

Working with us is a great foundation to build from. Because we’re both application and infrastructure specialists, and because we’re experts on all things AWS, we’re able to provide reviews that make building for better simple.
