AWS consulting for New England product and IT teams

Migrate, secure, operate, and ship AI on AWS — without consulting overhead or managed-services lock-in. Work directly with certified engineers in Portland, ME.

Built for organizations that have outgrown ad hoc AWS management but are not ready to staff a large internal cloud-platform team.

You may need an AWS partner when…

  • Your AWS bill keeps growing, but nobody can clearly explain why.
  • A security review uncovered IAM, logging, encryption, or account-structure gaps.
  • Your team wants to migrate, but downtime risk and application dependencies are holding the project back.
  • Engineers are spending more time maintaining infrastructure than shipping product.
  • Leadership wants generative AI, but security, cost, and governance questions remain unresolved.

You do not need another dashboard or a generic cloud assessment. You need an experienced engineer who can identify the problem, recommend a practical path, and help implement it.

Example engagements

Example scopes that show how we typically work — process and deliverables for each service.

AWS Migrations

Migration Readiness Assessment

Product or IT teams preparing to leave colo, aging hardware, or a fragile first-generation cloud setup.

Scope: Fixed-scope discovery: inventory workloads, map dependencies, identify risks, and recommend a phased path before anyone commits to a cutover date.

AWS Managed Cloud

AWS operations review

Product teams that need AWS reliability without turning engineers into a full-time cloud-ops group.

Scope: Map monitoring, patching, backups, cost drivers, and ownership gaps — then recommend a clear operating model for what Alchemy owns versus what your team keeps.

AWS Managed Security

AWS Security Baseline Review

Teams facing audits, customer security reviews, or rapid AWS growth that outpaced identity and logging hygiene.

Scope: Prioritized review of identity, logging, networking, encryption, backups, and account governance — with a remediation sequence your team can fund in waves.

AWS AI & ML

Bedrock / RAG pilot

Organizations that want a secure internal assistant or document workflow without putting proprietary data in consumer AI tools.

Scope: Short fixed-scope pilot: one use case, one corpus, identity and cost caps from day one, and explicit evaluation criteria before any production push.

AWS End User Computing

Secure desktop / app access design

Teams onboarding contractors, remote staff, or acquired groups who need secure desktops or streamed apps without shipping more hardware.

Scope: Map access scenarios, recommend WorkSpaces vs AppStream (or both), and design a pilot cohort with identity, networking, and cost controls before a wider rollout.

How we work

Straightforward steps and clear commercial terms. You always know who is doing the work, what it costs, and what comes next.

  1. Discovery call

    A free 30-minute conversation about your workloads, constraints, and goals — honest technical Q&A, not a pitch.

  2. Written plan & estimate

    Options, trade-offs, timeline, and cost range before kickoff. Fixed-scope or monthly support — no surprise retainers.

  3. Delivery & handoff

    We build alongside your team, leave runbooks, and transfer knowledge so the work holds after we step back.

Who We Are

Alchemy Technologies is an engineer-led AWS consultancy for growing organizations that need enterprise-grade cloud capabilities without building a large internal platform team. Based in Portland, Maine, we help clients migrate, secure, operate, and modernize AWS through hands-on implementation, transparent communication, and documentation your team can use after the engagement ends.

  • AWS Certified engineers

    Solutions Architects who live in the console — not a handoff to a distant delivery team.

  • Responsive partnership

    East Coast hours, direct access, and communication you do not have to chase.

  • Practical delivery

    Runbooks and knowledge transfer so improvements last after we step back.
