Common AWS problems in SaaS platforms
The same set of AWS issues turn up across growing SaaS platforms. They're rarely individual bugs — they're patterns.
AWS bills growing without clear ownership
EC2, RDS, storage, data transfer, unused environments, overprovisioned services, no tagging and weak budget alerts.
Scaling feels fragile
Load patterns, database bottlenecks, single points of failure, weak autoscaling and missing resilience testing.
Releases depend on manual work
CI/CD gaps, Terraform gaps, deployment risk, rollback weakness and environment drift.
Monitoring isn't telling the full story
CloudWatch gaps, alert noise, missing dashboards, no runbooks and slow incident diagnosis.
IAM and security have grown messy
IAM sprawl, access reviews, secrets, network controls, logging and audit gaps.
Architecture written for v1, not v3
Decisions made early are now blocking the platform — but unpicking them feels risky.

When SaaS companies usually call us
The cloud bill has jumped
Unexpected month-on-month growth or hard questions from finance.
Performance is inconsistent
Customers feel it before dashboards do.
Deployments take too long
Release windows are shrinking team velocity.
AWS was built quickly
Now it needs a senior review before scaling further.
Customers ask harder security questions
And the answers need to hold up.
The board wants cost visibility
Per-environment, per-customer, per-feature.
