HALCROW + AWS
AWS architected for scale, not overkill
AWS can do everything—but that’s not the goal. We help teams simplify, scale, and move fast using the right mix of services for their stage. Whether it’s migration, re-architecture, or feature rollout, we make AWS work for your stage of scaling.









This isn’t just your business.
It’s your legacy.
We’ve got the credentials—and the experience to back them
Our engineers hold AWS certifications across Solutions Architecture, DevOps, and Security—with deep experience building cloud-native products, migrating monoliths, and optimising spend for scale-ups and enterprises alike.

Common misconceptions
The difference between using it and using it well
It’s not about using more services—it’s about designing systems that are easy to build, scale, and evolve.
How teams normally use it
How teams normally use it
Use too many services too early and overcomplicate the stack
Over-provision infrastructure “just in case” and burn budget fast
Treat migration as a tech project—not a business evolution

VS
This is how Halcrow does AWS
While most partners turn AWS into a maze of services, we do the opposite. We simplify, streamline, and build for real-world velocity.
Clear architecture with just enough AWS services to get the job done well
Cost-aware design from day one—no nasty surprises in the invoice
Fast-moving pods that ship production systems, not proofs-of-concept
Automation built in with GitHub Actions, Terraform, and CodePipeline
Embedded strategy support to align infra with business growth
Security, logging, and observability implemented like your team would do it—if they had more time
