Production-ready AWS CDK TypeScript starter kit with secure OIDC authentication, automated CI/CD, and branch-based deployments. Deploy infrastructure to AWS in minutes with projen-powered configuration.
Tip
Towards the Cloud runs the AWS foundation for modern product teams. This means your team ships faster, slashes AWS spend, and stay audit-ready without having to hire a platform squad.
Unsure where to start? Book a free AWS Account Review. We’ll analyse your AWS environment, hand you a security & cost report, and you decide whether to act on it yourself or have us execute. No pressure, no retainer required up front.
☁️ See how we turn AWS chaos into a compliant, cost-efficient platform…
Ad‑hoc builds become 40–60% overspend, unmonitored security gaps put customer data at risk, and engineers burn out running infrastructure instead of shipping products.
- ✅ Compliant Landing Zone – Multi-account AWS CDK deployment with 100% CIS benchmark coverage, centralized logging, and SSO-ready access control.
- ✅ Production-ready CDK components – Pre-hardened building blocks so teams launch new services without reinventing best practices.
- ✅ CI/CD with safe rollbacks – GitOps workflows and governed pipelines that let you release faster with confidence.
- ✅ Quarterly cost & security reviews – Cost Optimisation plus Security Reviews delivered proactively.
- ✅ Fractional Cloud Engineer – On-demand expertise from an architect who implemented enterprise-grade AWS infrastructure for over a decade.
- 30%+ lower AWS bill – Continuous oversight prevents expensive drift (30–60% documented savings).
- SOC 2 / HIPAA acceleration – Guardrails, logging, and evidence packs ready on day one.
- Audit-ready every quarter – Automated monitoring plus recurring reviews keep findings under control.
- Faster product velocity – Engineers build features, not managing infrastructure.
- Headcount leverage – A flexible retainer replaces the cost of a full-time platform team.
Proof: Y Combinator startup Accolade used our Landing Zone to earn SOC 2 in record time:
“We achieved a perfect security score in days, not months.” — Galen Simmons, CEO
