Engagement 03

Advisory Retainer

A senior AWS architect on call for your team, without the senior AWS architect payroll.

Investment
$3,500 / month
quarterly commitment
Duration
ongoing

For teams that have the hands but want a second set of eyes. Architecture reviews before you build, a sounding board when something is on fire, and someone who already knows your environment when the next big decision comes up.

Start a conversation

Who it’s for

  • You have engineers who can execute but nobody who has done this ten times before.
  • You finished an assessment or build with me and want continuity.
  • You make one or two significant infrastructure decisions a quarter and want them to be right.

What you get

  • Design and pull-request reviews within two business days.
  • A standing monthly call, and email whenever you need it.
  • Priority scheduling if something turns into a build engagement.
  • A quarterly look at cost, resilience, and drift so small problems stay small.

How it works

  1. 01 We start with a short onboarding so I know your environment and your people.
  2. 02 You use me as much or as little as the month needs. Quiet months happen and are fine.
  3. 03 Quarterly, we check whether it is still worth it to you. If not, we stop.

Not for

A substitute for on-call. I am not your pager. I am the person who helps make sure the pager stays quiet.
