AWS Architecture & Consulting

Design AWS solutions that are scalable, resilient, and cost-effective.

How We Help

Getting your AWS architecture right from the start saves time, money, and headaches down the line. MakeCloud provides expert architecture and AWS consultancy services to help you design, review, and optimise cloud solutions that are scalable, resilient, secure, and cost-effective.

As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, we bring battle-tested architectural patterns and deep platform knowledge to every engagement, whether you are building something new or improving what you already have.

Our architecture and consulting services include:

Solution Architecture: design cloud-native architectures for new workloads, selecting the right AWS services, patterns, and trade-offs for your requirements
Well-Architected Reviews: assess your existing AWS environment against the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, with a prioritised remediation roadmap
Technology Selection: evaluate AWS services, third-party tools, and architectural approaches to find the right fit for your workload, team, and budget
Proof of Concept & Prototyping: validate architectural decisions with hands-on prototypes and reference implementations before committing to full builds
Multi-Account Strategy: design and implement AWS organisation structures, account vending, and governance patterns for growing teams and complex environments
Modernisation Advisory: assess legacy workloads and create practical roadmaps for modernising to containers, serverless, or managed services on AWS

Our Expertise

Our architects are hands-on practitioners who work alongside your engineering teams. We don't just deliver slide decks, we pair on real problems, write architecture decision records, and provide reference implementations your team can build on.

Every engagement produces clear, actionable recommendations with supporting documentation, so your team has the confidence and context to execute.

Flexible Engagement Models

We offer one-off architecture reviews and Well-Architected assessments, ongoing advisory retainers, managed cloud services and embedded architects who integrate directly into your delivery teams. Whether you need a second opinion on a critical design decision or a long-term architecture partner, we adapt to how you work.
