Common challenges

Recognize when AWS operations become a bottleneck

Operational complexity creeps in gradually. These are the signs that managing AWS is taking more from your team than it should.

Common challenges

Recognize when AWS operations become a bottleneck

Operational complexity creeps in gradually. These are the signs that managing AWS is taking more from your team than it should.

Your team spends too much time keeping AWS running

Senior engineers spend too much time on AWS operations, patching, troubleshooting and routine maintenance instead of product delivery. As the environment grows, operational overhead starts competing directly with engineering capacity.

Incidents are still reactive

Monitoring may be in place, but alerts still lead to manual investigation and unclear ownership. Without defined incident response, escalation paths and proactive observability, small issues can quickly become service disruptions.

AWS costs keep growing

AWS spend increases without clear ownership, cost allocation or continuous optimization. Idle resources, oversized workloads and unmanaged commitments make cloud costs harder to predict and reduce.

Security relies on manual checks

IAM reviews, patching, configuration checks and security controls depend too heavily on manual processes. Over time, configuration drift and inconsistent guardrails increase the risk of security gaps across the AWS environment.

Infrastructure knowledge lives with a few people

Critical knowledge about architecture, deployments and incident history is concentrated in a small number of engineers. Without documented runbooks, Infrastructure as Code and repeatable processes, operations become harder to scale and more dependent on individuals.

Scaling the platform feels increasingly risky

Every new workload, environment or market adds more infrastructure and operational complexity. Without standardized AWS architecture, automation and repeatable deployment patterns, scaling increases risk instead of creating leverage.

What we manage

From the first architecture decision to the 2 a.m. alert, we cover the operational layers that keep AWS workloads reliable, secure and cost-efficient.

Monitoring & incident response

Service health, alerting, triage, escalation and runbook-driven response across production workloads.

Patch, backup & recovery

Patch governance, automated backups, retention controls, restore testing and recovery readiness.

Security & compliance

GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM hardening, WAF, logging and continuous configuration controls.

Cloud FinOps & optimization

Cost allocation, rightsizing, commitment planning, anomaly detection and continuous optimization.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform-first environments, GitOps change control, CI/CD and repeatable infrastructure operations.

Architecture improvement

Well-Architected reviews, reliability improvements, modernization and technical debt reduction.

Disaster recovery & resilience

Recovery objectives, resilient architecture, failover patterns, backup validation and recovery exercises.

Migration & modernization

We do not inherit problems blindly. We redesign and modernize workloads before operating them.

How we operate

Proactive by default. Flexible by design.

Choose the operating model that matches your internal team. We integrate with your workflows instead of forcing a generic ticket queue on top of them.

GOStack partnered with Yggdrasil Gaming to migrate their data analytics platform from Google BigQuery to a modern, open lakehouse architecture on AWS. The new platform, built on Amazon S3, Apache Iceberg, Amazon Athena and AWS Glue, reduced data processing costs by 60%, lowered analytics latency by 75% (from 2 hours to 30 minutes), and eliminated multi-cloud operational complexity, providing a scalable foundation for advanced AI/ML initiatives.

From Black Box to Full Control

We were using a third-party RAG. It was limited, nothing we could modify. GOStack built us a system we actually own and can grow with. This has opened up new possibilities and our clients can now self-serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AWS managed services mean in practice?

GOStack takes day-to-day ownership of your AWS estate — monitoring, incidents, changes, security, backups and cost — so your team can focus on the product. You get a named operating model, SLAs, and a continuous improvement backlog instead of a ticket queue.

Can you manage an AWS environment you did not build?

Yes. We start with an assessment of architecture, risk, observability and process, then take operational responsibility with a defined onboarding plan. You do not need to have been a GOStack build customer.

Do you support fully managed and co-managed models?

Yes. Fully managed, co-managed, and on-call advisory. We match the model to your internal team instead of forcing a generic MSP overlay.

How do security and compliance fit into the service?

Security operations, backup, identity and change control sit inside the managed service. We operate to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, and align with AWS Well-Architected and your compliance needs.

Is FinOps included?

Yes. Cost is treated as an operational signal — monitored, reviewed and improved alongside reliability and security, not as a separate afterthought.

How are service levels and response times defined?

Service levels, escalation paths and response commitments are agreed in the proposal and written into the operating model — SLA-defined for managed models, engagement-defined for advisory.

Can you modernize the platform before managing it?

Yes. Design, build and manage sit in one team. We can land a platform, harden it, then take it into steady-state operations — or modernize in parallel with the managed service.
