Cloud Platform Architecture Consulting

I’m about to launch a new technology platform and need independent, vendor-neutral advice on how to set up the underlying cloud infrastructure before any major spending or coding begins. The goal is a design that is secure from day one, scales smoothly as usage grows, and keeps costs predictable.

You’ll guide me through the options across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, compare their native services, and recommend the stack that best fits long-term product and compliance goals. Along the way, I want to understand trade-offs, hidden risks, and the controls I should build in now rather than retrofit later.

Key areas where your expertise will be invaluable include: architecture patterns, multi-region deployment strategies, IAM and network security baselines, observability tooling, and ongoing cost-optimization tactics.

Deliverables I’d like to receive:
• A high-level reference architecture diagram with component justifications
• A written risk register with mitigation steps
• A phased deployment plan that highlights quick wins versus longer-term investments
• A cost model showing estimated spend at low, medium, and high traffic levels

I’m ready to start as soon as we align on scope and timeline and will be available for rapid feedback on drafts, diagrams, or walkthrough sessions.
