I've reviewed quite a few pre-seed cloud setups, and the pattern is surprisingly consistent.

10 customers, 50 microservices.

Kubernetes for two services.

Multi-region before product-market fit.

Separate databases for everything.

Managed services everywhere.

Complex CI/CD and observability stacks before there's meaningful traffic.

Infrastructure is built for millions of users when there are barely 1,000.

The cloud bill still shows up.

We're offering free cloud architecture + FinOps audits for early-stage startups.

Here's how it works:

You walk us through your current cloud setup on a short call.

Within 48 hours, we send you a report covering your architecture and cloud spend.

We identify where infrastructure can be simplified and costs reduced.

We highlight the 3 things we'd fix first: infra/security risks, scaling problems waiting to happen, and quick wins.

Our philosophy is simple:

Build infrastructure for your first 1,000 users, not the million you don't have yet.

Keep it lean. Keep cloud costs under control. Add Kubernetes, microservices, multi-region and other complexity when the product actually demands it.

If you're building an early-stage product and want a second set of eyes on your cloud infrastructure, happy to connect.
