AWS Strategy That Survives Contact with Production
We're not the kind of consultants who hand you a slide deck and disappear. Our AWS architects work alongside your team to design infrastructure that handles real traffic, real compliance requirements, and real budget constraints.
Trusted by innovative teams worldwide
The Certifications Behind Our Recommendations
Every recommendation we make is backed by deep, certified expertise — not vendor sales pitches.
Strategic AWS Consulting — Not Just Technical Advice
Our consulting goes beyond "which service should I use." We help you make AWS decisions that align with your business goals, team capabilities, and budget reality.
Well-Architected Reviews
Formal reviews against all six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework — with prioritized remediation plans, not just a list of findings you don't know how to fix.
Cost Optimization Strategy
Deep analysis of your AWS spend using Cost Explorer, Compute Optimizer, and Trusted Advisor — resulting in actionable savings recommendations with projected ROI for each change.
Architecture Design & Review
New system architecture design or review of existing systems — covering compute, storage, networking, security, and disaster recovery with detailed architecture decision records.
Cloud Roadmap Planning
Multi-quarter cloud strategy aligned with your product roadmap — covering migration phases, modernization priorities, team hiring, and training plans.
Security & Compliance Consulting
Threat modeling, IAM policy reviews, compliance gap analysis, and remediation planning for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR on AWS.
Performance & Scalability Assessment
Load testing, bottleneck identification, and scaling strategy — ensuring your architecture handles 10x traffic growth without requiring a redesign.
Making AWS Decisions with a Gut Feeling Instead of Data?
Get a structured architecture review from certified AWS consultants. First session is on us.
We give you the architecture advice you'd get from a senior AWS SA — without the hiring process.
Most companies can't justify hiring a principal-level AWS architect full-time. We give you that expertise on-demand — architects who've designed systems handling millions of requests, petabytes of data, and strict compliance frameworks.
Consulting That Produces Results, Not Reports
Our consulting engagements are designed to produce actionable outcomes — not shelf-ware documents.

What Our Clients Say
“We thought our AWS architecture was solid until OpenMalo's review found $18K/month in wasted spend and two reliability gaps that could have caused multi-hour outages. The ROI on their consulting fee was about 20x.
“What I appreciated most was the honesty. They told us our current setup was mostly fine and focused the engagement on the 3 things that actually mattered instead of generating a 50-page report of theoretical improvements.
“OpenMalo helped us design our multi-region architecture from scratch. Two years later, it's handling 10x the traffic we originally planned for — and we haven't had to redesign anything. That's good architecture.
$18K/Month in Savings Found in a 48-Hour Review
AWS Architecture Review for Nexus Payments
How a 48-hour Well-Architected Review uncovered $18K/month in wasted AWS spend and two critical reliability risks for a payment processing platform.
Growing AWS bill with no visibility into what's driving costs
Nexus Payments had seen their AWS bill grow from $30K to $85K/month over 18 months. The engineering team was too busy shipping features to investigate, and leadership was concerned about both cost trajectory and infrastructure reliability.
Our Approach: 48-hour deep dive using Cost Explorer, Trusted Advisor, and manual architecture review — producing a prioritized report with 12 recommendations, implementation effort estimates, and projected savings for each item.
