The Challenge

Rapid scale resulting in
architectural debt.

  • Multi-account sprawl: Dozens of unmanaged AWS accounts created by decentralized teams.
  • Lack of governance: No shared logging, networking standards, or identity controls.
  • Rising cloud costs: Redundant resources and orphaned infrastructure driving unnecessary spend.
  • Security inconsistencies: Disjointed IAM policies creating compliance risk across environments.

Execution Detail

The team designed a codified target architecture that unified the environment without slowing down product delivery.

  • 01AWS multi-account structure: Secure account vending and isolation patterns for new and existing workloads.
  • 02Terraform pipelines: Networking and core infrastructure moved into repeatable CI/CD-based delivery.
  • 03IAM & policy control: Centralized access and guardrails that reduced drift across the platform.
  • 04Cost monitoring: Tagging strategy and dashboards that exposed spend by owner and workload.
