How We Deliver

  1. Discovery: goals, constraints, success metrics.
  2. Architecture Sketch: target AWS + AI design, risks, cost bands.
  3. Build & Validate: infra as code, CI/CD, tests & demo data.
  4. Handoff: docs, runbooks, cost controls, next-step roadmap.
Outputs You Keep
  • Source (Python/Lambda), IaC (SAM/CDK), pipelines (GitHub Actions or CodePipeline)
  • Security baselines: IAM least-privilege, logs/alerts, backups
  • Operational docs + 30-day support window (email/slack)

Quick Wins & Patterns

FinOps Guardrails Starter

Set AWS Budgets & Cost Anomaly Detection alerts and apply Compute Optimizer rightsizing. Quick wins, fewer surprises, clear weekly playbook.

Ops / Cost

Serverless AI Helpdesk

Deployed RAG bot over internal docs using Bedrock/OpenAI + DynamoDB/Pinecone, with guardrails and cost caps.

RAG / LLM

Secure Serverless Starter

SAM/CDK starter with multi-env deploys, least-privilege IAM, logging/alerts, and example Lambda + API GW.

IaC

FAQ

No. When we build on Amazon Bedrock, customer inputs/outputs are not used to train base models. For OpenAI’s API/Enterprise, your business data isn’t used for training by default. We also add guardrails and data-retention controls aligned to your policies. Bedrock FAQs · Bedrock data protection · OpenAI enterprise privacy

Most agentic AI PoCs land in ~3–5 days (environment setup, core agent + tools, IaC deploy, end-to-end tests). From there, we iterate on guardrails, observability, and integrations to reach MVP.

Yes. We can invoke Bedrock over AWS PrivateLink using interface VPC endpoints so traffic stays on the AWS network (no public IPs, no NAT). We’ll also align S3/KMS, IAM boundaries, and logging to your standards. Bedrock VPC endpoints · PrivateLink guide

Usage-based. You’ll typically pay for invocations/tokens (Bedrock or OpenAI), compute & API infrastructure (API Gateway, Lambda), data storage & retrieval (DynamoDB, S3, vector index storage), and networking / data transfer. We impose cost guardrails — token caps, caching, storage tiering, retention policies, right-sized models, observability — and we’ll provide a clear cost estimate before scaling.

Absolutely. The agent can invoke tools we build—REST or GraphQL APIs, webhooks, queues, or direct SDK calls. Common integrations include Slack and Jira bots, Salesforce case systems, relational databases, vector stores, and internal APIs. We design these integrations modularly so they can evolve over time.

You do. Deliverables are provided as Infrastructure-as-Code (SAM/CDK) and application code in your repo/account, with documentation and hand-off so your team can run it independently.
