Fractional Solution Architect
Senior AWS architecture guidance, when you need it, without a full-time hire.
Many organisations adopt AWS gradually. Early decisions are often made under delivery pressure, without deep architectural oversight, leading to security gaps, rising costs, or platforms that struggle to scale.
Green Custard’s Fractional AWS Solutions Architect service provides senior AWS expertise on a flexible basis. We work alongside your teams to review architectures, guide critical decisions, and apply AWS Well-Architected principles to real workloads.
The service is suited to cloud-light organisations, from startups through to large SMBs and enterprises modernising legacy systems. A minimum level of engagement ensures continuity and impact, while remaining significantly more flexible than a permanent hire.
What Our Customers Say
"We have partnered with Green Custard on several occasions, beginning with our initial steps into digital transformation. On both occasions, Green Custard demonstrated professionalism, deep technical knowledge, and a collaborative approach. Each project was delivered on time and within the agreed budget, which speaks to their reliability and expertise. I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future."
