Overview

About aws cloud solutions

AWS offers the broadest service catalogue of any provider, which is both its strength and the source of most cost problems. The same workload can be built a dozen ways at wildly different operating costs.

Managed services over self-hosting

Running your own database, queue, or search cluster on EC2 is almost always more expensive once engineering time is counted. We default to managed services and self-host only where a specific requirement demands it.

Well-Architected review

We assess existing environments against the AWS Well-Architected pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, and cost — and produce a prioritised remediation list rather than an undifferentiated audit dump.

Serverless where it fits

Lambda and managed services suit spiky, event-driven workloads and can be dramatically cheaper than always-on capacity. For sustained high-throughput workloads, containers are usually more economical. We model both against your traffic profile.

Capabilities

What the engagement includes

Well-Architected review

Migration to AWS

Phased migration with rollback plans at each stage.

Serverless & container workloads

Lambda, ECS, or EKS chosen on traffic and cost modelling.

Cost optimisation

Right-sizing, storage tiering, and commitment planning.

  1. 1

    Discovery & scoping

    We map requirements, users, integrations, and constraints, then agree scope and a fixed quote before work starts.

  2. 2

    Architecture & design

    Technical architecture and user flows are agreed and prototyped before implementation begins.

  3. 3

    Build & review

    Development in reviewable increments, with a staging environment you can see and comment on throughout.

  4. 4

    Launch & support

    Performance and security checks, documented handover, deployment, and an agreed support window after go-live.

Why iDream

We default to managed services and model serverless against containers on your real traffic, rather than applying a fixed pattern.

FAQ

Common questions

Serverless or containers?
Serverless suits spiky, event-driven work and low-traffic services where paying per invocation beats always-on capacity. Containers usually win for sustained throughput. We model both against your actual traffic rather than picking a favourite.
How disruptive is migration?
Handled properly, minimally. We migrate in phases with rollback plans, run parallel where feasible, and cut over during low-traffic windows. Big-bang migrations are where the horror stories come from.
