A read-only assessment of your AWS and hybrid infrastructure — architecture, security, cost, reliability, observability, and deployment workflows — with evidence-labeled findings and a prioritized 90-day roadmap. Built for companies without a dedicated DevOps or platform team.
DeepSentient collects configuration metadata only. We do not collect secret values, application data, database contents, production logs containing customer data, PHI, or PII.
Most companies with 5–50 engineers run serious infrastructure without dedicated DevOps or SRE. The same patterns show up again and again.
The AWS bill keeps rising and nobody owns it
Deployments are manual, slow, and a little scary
Alerts are noisy, missing, or ignored
IAM permissions have grown organically for years
No clear picture of what is running where
Backups and disaster recovery have never been tested
Compliance questionnaires take weeks to answer
Critical knowledge lives in one engineer's head
Legacy systems nobody wants to touch
You can't prioritize what you can't see. DeepSentient starts with a read-only assessment of the systems your business depends on — infrastructure, security, cost, reliability, and deployment workflows — then helps you implement the approved improvements. Production is never touched during the assessment.
See how an engagement runsOne connected review across the systems your business runs on — from architecture to operations.
Topology, environments, network design, single points of failure, and how well the architecture matches your scale.
Account structure, IAM, and service configuration reviewed against well-architected practice.
Exposure, permissions, encryption, secrets handling, and audit trails — labeled by evidence and confidence.
Spend breakdown, idle and oversized resources, and concrete savings opportunities ranked by effort.
Logs, metrics, dashboards, alerting coverage, blind spots, and how quickly you would notice a failure.
Pipeline reliability, rollback capability, release friction, and environment management.
Runbooks, on-call readiness, key-person risk, and how well the team can operate what it owns.
What to fix first — every finding ranked by risk, effort, cost, and business impact into a 90-day roadmap.
One fixed scope, one deliverable set, one price. No open-ended consulting.
Best for: AWS-based companies that need a clear view of infrastructure risk, cost, security, reliability, and modernization priorities.

Fixed price, fixed scope. Implementation of approved recommendations is scoped separately after the findings call.
A calm, low-friction engagement. The report is delivered within five business days of access.
Understand business goals, infrastructure pain points, compliance needs, and current engineering workflows.
You deploy a transparent read-only AWS role or provide approved inventory files. Nothing else is required.
We analyze infrastructure, security, cost, observability, deployment processes, and documentation.
Every finding is reviewed by an engineer before it reaches you — nothing ships as raw automated output.
You receive a prioritized roadmap — and can choose to have DeepSentient implement the approved improvements.
Every assessment produces the same structured, human-reviewed report — built to be acted on, not filed away.
An illustrative preview of how findings, roadmap phases, and backlog items are organized. This is a mockup — not customer data.
| Area | Finding | Severity | Confidence | Business Impact | Recommended Action | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security | Storage bucket publicly readable | High | Confirmed | Data exposure risk | Restrict bucket policy, enable account-level block | |
| Cost | Oversized instances idle off-hours | Medium | Confirmed | Recurring cloud waste | Right-size and schedule non-production workloads | |
| Reliability | Single-AZ database, restore untested | High | Likely | Outage & data-loss risk | Enable multi-AZ, run a restore test | |
| Security | Overly broad IAM permissions | High | Confirmed | Access risk | Reduce roles to least privilege | |
| Observability | No alerting on application error rates | Medium | Needs Validation | Silent failures | Add error-rate alarms tied to on-call |
| Phase | Focus | Key Actions | Depends On | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Days 0–30 — Stabilize | Close the highest risks | Public exposure fixes, IAM cleanup, backup restore test | — | Roadmap ready | |
| Days 31–60 — Automate | Remove manual toil | CI/CD improvements, alerting baseline, runbooks | Phase 1 | Queued | |
| Days 61–90 — Optimize | Cut waste, build maturity | Right-sizing, cost dashboards, documentation | Phase 2 | Queued |
| Backlog Item | Area | Effort | Impact | State | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Block public access on storage buckets | Security | Small | High | Spec ready | |
| Reduce over-broad IAM roles to least privilege | Security | Medium | High | Scoping | |
| Verify database backups with a restore test | Reliability | Small | High | Spec ready | |
| Add error-rate alarms wired to on-call | Observability | Small | High | Scoping | |
| Automate deployment approvals in CI/CD | DevOps | Medium | Medium | Spec ready |

Findings are never presented as unquestionable output. Every recommendation includes its evidence basis and confidence level, so you can distinguish verified issues from areas requiring further investigation.
Directly supported by collected metadata. You can act on it immediately.
Strongly indicated by the evidence, but requires your confirmation before acting.
Insufficient evidence to assert as fact. Flagged for investigation, never asserted.
Big firms sell transformation programs. We deliver a clear picture and a roadmap you can act on.
The assessment is designed for companies with 10–200 employees and 5–50 engineers running on AWS — or AWS plus legacy infrastructure.
You run on AWS, or AWS plus legacy systems.
You have engineers, but no dedicated DevOps, SRE, or platform team.
Your cloud costs keep rising without a clear reason.
Security or compliance pressure is mounting.
Reliability worries you more than it used to.
Deployments are slow, manual, or fragile.
Infrastructure complexity has outgrown the team's capacity.
You want a roadmap — and a partner who can implement it.
Get a clear, evidence-backed view of your infrastructure, risks, costs, and modernization priorities — without granting write access or disrupting production.
Tell us about your systems — what's costing too much, what's fragile, what keeps you up at night. We'll respond with fit, scope, and next steps.
No production changes. NDA available. You retain ownership of your systems, data, and customer-specific deliverables, subject to the engagement agreement.
Tell us about your infrastructure and your primary concern. We'll respond within one business day with fit, scope, and next steps.
