What it is
Rozell designs and builds AWS environments that are meant to be run, not just launched. Every account, network, service and permission is expressed in Terraform, reviewed in a pull request, and deployed through a pipeline. The result is infrastructure your team can read, change, and trust.
We work across the US and Canadian regions and are fluent in the data residency rules that matter for healthcare, finance, and cross-border businesses.
What you get
- A written architecture that explains the decisions, not just the diagram: compute (ECS Fargate or EKS), data (RDS Postgres, S3), networking, identity, and observability.
- Terraform modules you own, organized so a new environment or a new region is a configuration change rather than a rebuild.
- Environments wired end to end: staging and production, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, centralized logging and alerting, and IAM scoped to least privilege.
- Compliance-aware defaults for SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI programs: encryption at rest and in transit, audit trails, backups, and documented controls.
- A handover your engineers can use, including runbooks for the day-two tasks like rotating credentials, restoring a backup, and scaling a service.
How an engagement runs
- Discovery (free, 30 minutes). We learn what you are running, what is fragile, and what you need to be true in three months.
- Architecture review or design (1 week). A short written plan with cost estimates and a sequence of changes you can approve.
- Build (1–4 weeks, depending on scope). Forward-deployed in your repos and your accounts, with daily visibility into what changed.
- Handover and optional retainer. Your team owns it; we stay available for monitoring, cost reviews and changes on a monthly retainer if you want continuity.
Who it’s for
- SaaS companies that have outgrown a hand-built AWS account and need infrastructure that scales with the team.
- Healthcare, fintech and professional-services firms that need compliance-ready environments without an in-house platform team.
- Canadian companies, or US companies serving Canada, with data residency requirements.
- Founders who want production infrastructure in place before the first customer, not after the first outage.
Common questions
Do you work in Canadian AWS regions?
Yes. We deploy to ca-central-1 (Montréal) and ca-west-1 (Calgary) as readily as the US regions, and our Terraform modules take the target region as a variable, so the same architecture can be stood up on either side of the border for data residency requirements.
Will we own the infrastructure code?
Everything we build lives in your repositories and your AWS accounts from day one. You own the Terraform, the pipelines, and the documentation. We never hold anything you would need us to hand back.
Can you take over an existing AWS account that was set up by hand?
That is one of the most common starting points. We begin with an architecture and cost review, import existing resources into Terraform where it makes sense, and rebuild the parts that are fragile or undocumented, without downtime.
How long does a typical infrastructure engagement take?
A greenfield environment with CI/CD, staging, production, monitoring and auth is usually running inside two weeks. Migrations and rebuilds are scoped individually after a short discovery call.
