How the Engagement Works
Ship features without fearing your Lambda backend
Target Insight Function is an AWS consulting engagement that focuses on one or two concrete systems built around AWS Lambda and Amazon Bedrock. Together with your engineers, we simplify the flows, remove fragile links between components, and leave you with code and infrastructure that the team is no longer afraid to change and deploy.
Where You Are Now
Systems that have grown more complicated than anyone intended
Fragile Lambda Flows
A Lambda-based backend that accumulates special cases, where nobody wants to touch the code before a release.
Untrusted AI Integration
An AI-powered feature wired into Amazon Bedrock that is difficult to reason about when something goes wrong.
Deployment Friction
Hidden cross-dependencies between serverless components, background processing, and data stores creating recurring issues.
Deployment freezes. Fear of changes. Systems nobody wants to touch before a release.
This engagement is about selecting those systems and bringing them back into a state where they are understandable and safe to evolve.
Who This Is For
Teams that already rely on AWS with real users and deadlines
We focus on 1-2 specific systems that actually block your progress—not your entire AWS estate. This engagement is for teams with real users, real deadlines, and Lambda or Bedrock systems that have grown more complicated than anyone intended.
What's Included
1-2 Specific Systems
Focus on the systems that actually block your progress
Code Changes
Pull requests with simplified hot paths and clearer stages
Infrastructure Updates
Updated CDK/CloudFormation definitions
Technical Documentation
Operation notes for the new system shape
Knowledge Transfer
Work done together with your engineers
What's Not Included
Entire AWS Estate
We focus on specific problem systems, not everything
Ongoing Maintenance
Engagement ends with handoff, not dependency
AWS Resource Costs
Billed separately by AWS at standard rates
What We Do In This Engagement
A clear path from current state to maintainable systems
1
Kickoff
Agree on scope, target systems, repositories, access, and constraints. Keep it small and specific: one or two systems that actually block the roadmap.
2
Trace and measure
Follow real traffic through the system. Capture latencies, error shapes, and failure boundaries so we are optimising for what really happens in production.
3
Change safely
Make small, reviewable PRs. Use feature flags when needed. Design clear roll-forward and roll-back plans so changes do not add new risk.
4
Hand-over
Walk through the changes with your team. Confirm ownership, validate the new shape of the system, and finalise notes and runbooks stored alongside the code.
All work is done together with your engineers, using your existing repositories and tools.
What You Get At The End
Concrete output, not abstract advice
Pull Requests
Merged or merge-ready pull requests with the improved design already in your repositories.
Handler refactors and smaller, clearer functions
Event model clarifications and better payload shapes
Retry, timeout, and backoff fixes
Observability hooks (logs, metrics, tracing) that actually match how you debug
Infrastructure Updates
Updated infrastructure definitions where needed, ready for deployment.
IaC updates for queues, topics, and state machines
IAM boundaries and permissions tightened around real use
Concurrency and scaling controls for Lambda
Dead-letter queues and failure handling wired to how your team works
Operations Notes
Concise technical notes explaining what changed and how to operate the new system shape.
Runbooks for common failure modes and incident paths
SLO signals and key metrics to watch
Alert actions and who owns what
Clear roll-back and roll-forward steps
Why This Engagement Works
Tightly Scoped Engagement
A tightly scoped AWS consulting engagement that takes one or two specific Lambda- and Bedrock-based systems and turns them from "do not touch" areas into straightforward, maintainable parts of your platform.
Concrete Output
Concrete output instead of abstract advice: pull requests, infrastructure updates, and short technical notes that explain what changed and how to work with it, so your team can keep moving without needing us on every decision.
Best Suited For
Best suited for environments where serverless components, background processing, data stores, and AI calls have grown together over time and now create hidden dependencies, deployment friction, and recurring issues.
Systems We Work With
AWS services commonly used in Lambda and Bedrock architectures
Primary Services
Primary
AWS Lambda
Serverless compute for your backend functions
Primary
Amazon Bedrock
AI/ML integration and inference
Supporting Services
Amazon RDS/Aurora
Managed relational databases
Amazon Kinesis
Real-time data streaming
Amazon EC2
Message queuing service
Any AWS resources created or modified in your account during the engagement are billed directly to you by AWS at standard service rates, separate from the professional services fee paid through AWS Marketplace.
How We Work With Your Team
Together with your engineers, in your environment
Your Repositories
We work in your existing repos and CI/CD, in small PRs. Your engineers stay in the loop and keep control over what is merged and when.
Your Engineers
The goal is to reduce disruption, not add it. Your engineers stay in control of reviews and merges, but we aim to reduce their load, not increase it.
Your Independence
At the end of the engagement, your team has everything needed to maintain and evolve the improved systems independently. No ongoing dependency—just confident ownership.
Your Platform Teams
We are not trying to replace your internal teams. We focus on unblocking the specific systems that eat their time, and we leave everything documented so they can operate and extend the new design without us.
The Handoff
At the end of the engagement, your team has everything needed to maintain and evolve the improved systems independently. Code changes are in your repositories, infrastructure updates are ready to deploy, and operation notes explain the new shape of the system. No ongoing dependency—just confident ownership.
Pricing and Billing
AWS Marketplace billing and AWS resource costs
Professional Services
Professional services are purchased via AWS Marketplace under the Target Insight Function listing.
AWS Resources
Any AWS service usage in your account, including resources created or changed during the engagement, is billed directly by AWS under standard pricing.
