Approach

How engagements are shaped

Kinds of work we take on and what you should expect to receive — process and deliverables, clearly scoped.

AWS Migrations

Migration Readiness Assessment

Who it is for: Product or IT teams preparing to leave colo, aging hardware, or a fragile first-generation cloud setup.

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

What you receive

  • Written readiness findings and recommended sequence
  • In-scope vs. out-of-scope for phase 1
  • High-level effort bands and decision points
  • Cutover and rollback considerations for the first wave

AWS Managed Cloud

AWS operations review

Who it is for: Product teams that want AWS reliability while engineers stay focused on product work.

Typical 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.

What you receive

  • Written scope: included work, out-of-scope work, and escalation paths
  • Gap list across monitoring, backup, patching, and cost control
  • Recommended coverage model and reporting cadence
  • Near-term stabilization priorities

AWS Managed Security

AWS Security Baseline Review

Who it is for: Teams facing audits, customer security reviews, or rapid AWS growth that outpaced identity and logging hygiene.

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

What you receive

  • Prioritized risk register
  • Recommended control architecture for your account structure
  • Near-term remediation plan with effort bands
  • Notes your compliance or audit partners can use

AWS AI & ML

Bedrock / RAG pilot

Who it is for: Organizations that want a secure internal assistant or document workflow without putting proprietary data in consumer AI tools.

Typical 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.

What you receive

  • Use-case brief and success metrics
  • Working pilot architecture on AWS
  • Security and cost guardrails documentation
  • Go / iterate / stop recommendation after evaluation

AWS End User Computing

Secure desktop / app access design

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

Typical 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.

What you receive

  • Use-case recommendation: WorkSpaces, AppStream, or a mix
  • Identity and access design for the pilot cohort
  • Sizing and lifecycle guidance to control spend
  • Rollout and IT support notes for go-live
