Our team holds multiple AWS certifications across specialized areas. We take pride in our depth of knowledge and continuously invest in staying current with AWS best practices and emerging technologies.
iFu Labs helps startups cut AWS costs, ship reliably, migrate without downtime, and unlock AWS Activate credits — with no extra fees and full control of your AWS accounts.
We hear the same five things from every founder who books a call. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
Early teams rarely have a cloud architect. Running AWS securely and reliably takes time founders don't have.
Wrong instance sizes, forgotten resources, and no anomaly alerting quietly inflate spend every month.
You want AWS scalability but fear downtime, data loss, or a botched cutover — and there are too many migration paths to evaluate.
Picking the right architecture without a senior engineer in the room is a coin flip with your roadmap on the line.
Prospects ask for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA before they'll sign — and you need it yesterday.
You know you should be shipping AI features and using your data better. You just don't know where to start on AWS.
Whether you're already on AWS or planning to migrate, we give your team senior AWS expertise, credits, and cost wins — without you hiring a platform team.
A full spend audit, rightsizing, Savings Plans, and anomaly alerts — typical clients save 25–40% within 30 days without touching their application.
Not a ticket queue. A named engineer — Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer certified — who knows your stack, joins your Slack, and answers like a teammate.
We help eligible startups apply for and structure up to $100,000 in AWS credits, and make sure none of it goes to waste on misconfigured workloads.
On-prem, Heroku, or another cloud to AWS — zero surprise downtime. Dependency mapping, wave planning, cutover runbooks, and AWS MAP funding support.
Gap assessment, control remediation, evidence pack, and auditor liaison — delivered end-to-end so you can close that enterprise deal.
We validate use cases, modernize your data layer, and set up cloud-native foundations — so “ship AI features” actually has a plan behind it.
As an AWS Partner, we help eligible startups apply, qualify, and deploy Activate credits the right way — so every dollar compounds your runway.
Most startups who apply solo get a fraction of what's available — and burn what they do get on the wrong services. We fix that.
Drag the slider to your current monthly AWS spend. The range is based on our typical client outcome — a 25–40% reduction within the first 30 days.
Range based on typical client outcomes. Your results depend on current architecture, commitment terms, and usage patterns — we'll confirm a number before any commitment.
Small sample, real numbers. Every engagement gets a before/after delta we can point to.
Still unsure? Book a 30-minute call — no sales pitch, just honest advice.
Only read-only by default. We request read-only IAM roles scoped to exactly what the engagement requires — billing for cost work, specific resources for architecture work. We never ask for console passwords, root credentials, or write access to production. If a change needs to be made, we hand you a pull request with the IaC and you apply it.
No. Managed services retainers are month-to-month and you can cancel any time. Project engagements are fixed-scope with a clear deliverable. Every line of infrastructure we write is yours — Terraform, CDK, runbooks, diagrams — so you can walk away and run it yourself.
AWS offers startups between $1,000 and $100,000 in credits through the Activate program depending on stage and investor backing. As an AWS Partner, we help eligible startups apply, structure the credit usage so it compounds your runway instead of expiring, and plan architecture around the credit window.
Often yes, especially for the credits and architecture pieces. A one-hour architecture review early on prevents $50k of rebuild cost later. If a full engagement isn’t the right fit today, we’ll say so on the discovery call and point you to the self-serve tools instead.
Three shapes. Fixed-scope projects (a cost audit, a SOC 2 sprint) are priced per project. Managed retainers start at $2,500/month, cancel any time. And our SaaS tools (iFu Comply, iFu Costless) start at $199/month self-serve. The discovery call is free and scope comes out of that conversation.
A freelance engineer gives you 40 hours of one person. We give you a team — AWS-certified engineers with exposure to hundreds of AWS accounts, a playbook for SOC 2, a cost audit framework, and partner-only access to AWS programs like MAP funding. Same day-rate range, much more leverage.
Discovery call within 48 hours. For self-serve SaaS products, onboarding is immediate. For consulting engagements, kickoff is typically within one to two weeks once scope is signed off.
