AWS security audit, infrastructure review, and deployment services
AWS is the most popular cloud platform, and many founders deploy their vibe coded apps there. Whether you're using EC2, Lambda, S3, or the full suite, AI-generated infrastructure configuration is notorious for overly permissive IAM policies, public S3 buckets, and missing encryption that can lead to data breaches.
Common AWS issues we find
Real problems from AWS codebases we've reviewed.
Overly permissive IAM policies
AI-generated IAM policies using Action: '*' and Resource: '*' — granting full access to every AWS service. This is the cloud equivalent of leaving all your doors unlocked.
Public S3 buckets
S3 buckets configured with public access for convenience during development. User uploads, database backups, and configuration files become accessible to anyone on the internet.
Unencrypted data at rest
Databases (RDS, DynamoDB), S3 buckets, and EBS volumes without encryption enabled. If a backup is exposed, all your data is readable.
Security groups wide open
EC2 security groups allowing inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 on all ports instead of restricting to specific ports and IP ranges.
No CloudWatch monitoring or alarms
No monitoring for CPU spikes, error rates, or unusual API calls. Issues are only discovered when users complain or the bill arrives.
Hardcoded AWS credentials
AWS access keys and secret keys written directly in code or configuration files instead of using IAM roles, environment variables, or Secrets Manager.
Runaway costs from misconfiguration
Resources left running after development, oversized instances for the workload, no auto-scaling, and missing budget alerts causing unexpectedly large bills.
No multi-AZ or backup strategy
All infrastructure running in a single availability zone with no backups. A single AWS outage takes your entire application offline with potential data loss.
AWS production checklist
Key checks before deploying your AWS app.
IAM policies follow least-privilege principle
No public S3 buckets (unless intentionally serving static assets)
Encryption at rest enabled for all data stores
Security groups restrict traffic to necessary ports and sources
CloudWatch alarms for critical metrics (CPU, errors, costs)
No hardcoded AWS credentials (use IAM roles)
Budget alerts configured to prevent surprise bills
Automated backups for databases and critical data
VPC networking properly configured with private subnets
CloudTrail enabled for API activity logging
Not sure if your app passes? Our code audit ($19) checks all of these and more.

Frequently asked questions
Is my AWS configuration secure?
If it was set up by an AI tool or during a rapid development sprint, it very likely has security gaps. The most common issues are overly permissive IAM policies, public S3 buckets, and open security groups. We audit your entire AWS setup.
How do I reduce my AWS bill?
We right-size your instances, clean up unused resources, configure auto-scaling, set up reserved instances where appropriate, and add billing alerts — often reducing costs by 30-60%.
Can you deploy my app to AWS?
Yes. We set up your full AWS infrastructure — VPC, compute (EC2/ECS/Lambda), database, storage, CDN, monitoring, and CI/CD. Everything with proper security and cost optimization from day one.
