Senior AWS expertise,
without the full-time hire
You don't need to understand AWS to benefit from it — that's what we're here for. Our consulting brings senior AWS experience to your business without the cost of a full-time hire, and without the jargon.
Cost optimisation is where most businesses see the biggest wins. AWS bills creep upward over time as services accumulate, instances stay over-provisioned, and storage tiers go untouched. A typical cost review can surface savings of 15-25% without affecting performance — money that was quietly being spent on infrastructure no-one was using. In most cases the review pays for itself within the first quarter.
Reducing cloud sprawl goes hand in hand with cost work. Most businesses growing on AWS end up with abandoned dev environments, orphaned databases, half-used services, and overlapping tools that all add cost and complexity. We help consolidate, decommission, and simplify — so what's left is a leaner stack that's easier to manage and cheaper to run.
Beyond cost work, we also handle enterprise-grade hosting setup, security architecture reviews, and migration support for businesses moving onto or between cloud providers.
Our method
Built on AWS best practice
Every engagement is a structured review against the AWS Well-Architected Framework — AWS's own set of best practices for running workloads in the cloud. We work through its six pillars, then hand you a prioritised, risk-rated action plan: what to fix first, what it's worth, and what can wait.
We work to AWS's own Well-Architected Framework and its current best practices. The methodology evolves with AWS best practice and is scoped to each client's individual needs — you get a review shaped around your stack, not a generic checklist.
Operational Excellence
How your infrastructure is run day to day — whether deployments, monitoring and recovery are repeatable and observable, rather than manual and fragile.
Security
Least-privilege access, data protection, and how exposed your stack is — we check IAM, encryption, network boundaries and how incidents would be caught.
Reliability
Whether your workloads keep running through failures — backups, redundancy, and the ability to recover quickly when something breaks.
Performance Efficiency
Whether you're using the right resources for the job — right-sized compute, the appropriate services, and no bottlenecks holding the business back.
Cost Optimisation
Where money is quietly leaking — over-provisioned instances, idle resources, untouched storage tiers — and how to cut spend without affecting performance.
Sustainability
The efficiency of what you run — reducing waste in compute and storage so your footprint, and your bill, stay as lean as the workload allows.
Engagement
Two ways forward,
after a free consultation
Everything starts with a free consultation — we look at where you are, what's costing you, and what's worth doing. From there, there are two ways we can deliver the work — and which fits comes down to how quickly you want results and how much change your operations can absorb at once. Whatever suits you, we'll always find a way to deliver value.
Expedited
A focused day-rate engagement. We complete the work quickly, scheduled around your operations so there's minimal disruption. Best when you want the savings or the fix in place soon. Indicative day rate £400–600.
Phased
Each batch of work is recommended, reviewed, and approved before we proceed — fitting your change cycle and sign-off process, however formal or light that is. Improvements land in controlled stages with minimal disruption, and you approve the plan before anything changes. Pace and scope are set in your consultation.
Credibility
We run this ourselves
This isn't theory for us. Naira Digital Growth runs its own production AWS infrastructure to enterprise standards — Cognito for authentication, Lambda for compute, DynamoDB for data, with least-privilege IAM roles scoped per function, security hardening throughout, and cost discipline baked in from the start.
When we review your stack, we're applying the same standards we hold ourselves to every day. Demonstrated competence on a live, real-world system — not a slide deck.
Indicative pricing
What it costs
These are indicative starting points, scoped per engagement — the exact figure depends on the size and shape of your environment, which we'll establish in your free consultation.
