Hi, I'm Danny, founder of Towards the Cloud. We help fast-growing companies solve their most expensive AWS challenges, from out-of-control costs and security compliance to slow development. All so they can focus on shipping their product.

Tip

Towards the Cloud eliminates AWS complexity so you ship faster with confidence, cut costs by 30%, and become compliant.

Sounds too good to be true? We'll assess your AWS account for free and report exactly where you stand. You'll receive a report with security findings and cost optimization opportunities. After that you can decide whether to fix these findings yourself or let us handle it. No strings attached.

AWS complexity builds faster than you realize

What starts as simple deployment quickly spirals into inefficient architectures costing 40-60% more than needed, security blind spots risking customer data, and team burnout from operations instead of product development.

Traditional consultancies prioritize billable hours over outcomes, then disappear after setup. We do the opposite...


We provide a complete package, so you deploy faster with confidence on AWS Cloud

  • βœ… Compliant multi-account Landing Zone:
    • Provisions AWS accounts with security guardrails out of the box - 100% CIS benchmark compliant
    • Secure Single Sign-On (SSO) for clean user access management
    • Everything is built using AWS CDK ensuring consistency, version control, and repeatable deployments
    • See what features are already included in our landing zone on our public roadmap
  • βœ… Off-the-shelf compliant CDK components: Develop secure infra quicker without reinventing the wheel
  • βœ… Complete CI/CD with easy rollbacks: Deploy more frequently because of IaC safety
  • βœ… Quarterly checks: Proactively receive Cost Optimization assessments + Security Reviews
  • βœ… Fractional Cloud Engineer: On-demand access to a decade of AWS Cloud experience to help you use best practices

What results can you expect when you partner with us:

  • 30% Lower AWS Bill: Proactive quarterly reviews catch overspending before it happens (30-60% documented savings)
  • Accelerate SOC 2/HIPAA compliance: Our Landing Zone automatically sets up security guardrails on your AWS accounts with 100% CIS compliance from day one
  • Easily stay compliant: Our automated monitoring and proactive quarterly security reviews give you control so yearly audits are smooth, not stressful
  • Your Team Ships Faster: Our Pre-built secure infrastructure components let your team focus on product, not AWS
  • Save on hiring costs: Access expert Cloud knowledge through our flexible retainer instead of committing to a full-time Cloud Engineer

Proof: Y Combinator startup Accolade's founder on how our Landing Zone accelerated their SOC 2 certification:

"Danny's solution and AWS expertise stood out with comprehensive accelerators, documentation, and clearly articulated design principles. We achieved a perfect security score in days, not months." β€” Galen Simmons, CEO
