AWS partner standing
The partner tier you should
actually check for.
Anyone can call themselves an AWS consultant. These six designations are the record AWS keeps — and any San Diego firm you shortlist should be able to show you theirs.
Partner Tier
Advanced Tier Services Partner
The tier above Select. It takes certified engineers on payroll and launched customer opportunities to hold — and AWS rechecks it.
Service Delivery
Lambda & CloudFormation
Serverless compute and infrastructure-as-code, both validated. This is what a migration that stays cheap to run is built from.
Competency
AI Services — Generative AI Consulting
For the half of your roadmap that is AI. Full detail on the generative AI services page.
Competency
Small & Medium Business Services
Most San Diego engagements are not Fortune 500 sized. This one says AWS validated us for that scale specifically.
Competency
Cloud Operations Services
Migration is week one. This one covers everything after — monitoring, cost control, and compliance on workloads AWS checked in production.
What we do
AWS Consulting Services.
Six disciplines, one AWS-native team. From first migration to production AI — engineered by former AWS engineers.
Cloud Migration
Migrate from on-premises, Azure, or GCP to AWS with zero downtime. Lift-and-shift, re-platform, or re-architect — we find the optimal path.
Cost Optimization
Cut your AWS bill by 30-50% with right-sizing, reserved instances, Savings Plans, and serverless architecture optimization.
Architecture Design
Well-Architected reviews and custom solutions designed for scalability, security, and reliability from day one.
AI/ML Solutions
Enterprise AI using Bedrock, SageMaker, Textract, and Comprehend. From proof-of-concept to production deployment.
Serverless Development
Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, DynamoDB — we build event-driven architectures that scale automatically and minimize costs.
Security & Compliance
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS compliance. IAM best practices, encryption, VPC isolation, and CloudTrail audit logging.
Why Horus
Former AWS engineers who know the platform.
Our engineering is led by people who came from AWS, so we know how the platform behaves under real production load, not just what the docs say.

How we work
Our AWS consulting process.
Four disciplined phases. We understand your current state before touching a line of infrastructure — and a project isn't done until it's measurably better than what it replaced.
01
Assessment
A Well-Architected review of your workloads, security posture, and spend — mapping the highest-value opportunities before any code is written. Start with our free AWS AI Assessment.
02
Architecture
A target architecture built for scalability, security, and reliability — defined as infrastructure-as-code so it's reproducible, reviewable, and auditable.
03
Build
Phased implementation against clear acceptance criteria, using AWS CDK, serverless, and CI/CD. Consequential AI outputs route through human-in-the-loop review before scale-up.
04
Optimize
After launch we tune for cost and performance — right-sizing, Savings Plans, cost anomaly detection — so the platform stays governed, observable, and predictable.
Who we serve
San Diego industries we serve.
San Diego runs on regulated, high-stakes work — biotech, defense, and financial services. Exactly where getting AWS architecture, security, and compliance right actually matters.
Biotech & Life Sciences
San Diego's life sciences cluster generates enormous volumes of research data and regulated documentation. We build HIPAA-aligned pipelines on AWS with encryption, VPC isolation, and audit logging, and we execute Business Associate Agreements before any access to protected health information.
Defense & Public Sector
We rebuilt a U.S. defense organization's IL-5 / CUI mission simulation platform on AWS GovCloud as 100% infrastructure-as-code, with a NIST 800-53 Rev 5 policy gate enforced at every build. Read the GovCloud defense DevOps case study.
Financial Services
We automate document-heavy financial workflows on AWS. For Bank of Montreal we automated handwritten loan application processing with Amazon Bedrock, cutting loan processing time by 65% and delivering $2.1M in annual savings — with human-in-the-loop review to preserve accuracy and compliance.
Spend less, run better
AWS cost optimization.
Most AWS bills carry waste that has nothing to do with the value you get. We find it and remove it — without compromising performance or reliability.
Our clients typically see 30-50% infrastructure cost savings through right-sizing, reserved instances, Savings Plans, and moving suitable workloads to serverless so you only pay for what you actually run. On top of infrastructure savings, we eliminate manual process costs through automation — the loan-processing automation we built for Bank of Montreal reached $2.1M in annual savings, and migrating that workload to Amazon Bedrock with Claude models projected an additional 55% reduction in AI compute costs.
For teams moving to AWS from another provider, cost optimization starts before the migration even begins. We help eligible clients use the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) to offset migration and infrastructure costs with credits. Punt migrated from DigitalOcean to AWS with MAP credits and Aurora PostgreSQL, then scaled to support 105% year-over-year platform growth on a governed, observable architecture.
After launch we keep spend predictable with AWS Budgets and Cost Anomaly Detection reconciled against a cost model each month, so you never get surprised by your bill. Explore our full AWS and AI services to see how cost governance fits into a larger cloud strategy.
