About Us

An AWS-focused consulting firm helping small and medium businesses and nonprofits improve their infrastructure.

Who We Are

A Cloud Above Us is founded by an ex-AWS Senior engineer after 9 years solving problems for thousands of customers. We take our hard won experience to optimize your environment with fixed-price contracts to avoid surprise bills. Our work covers Evaluation, Creating an improvement plan, Implementation, or any combination you need. Our primary focus covers:

  • Scalability
  • Cost Optimization
  • Large Traffic Events
  • Networking
  • Compute Optimization

No sales reps making empty promises, and no handover to a junior team after the first call. You talk to the tenured engineers doing the work from start to finish.

Who We Work With

We work primarily with nonprofits and small and medium businesses (SMBs) with monthly AWS bills ranging from $2k to $150k

Clearance and Compliance

We are 100% US citizens and able to work on ITAR-restricted systems running in GovCloud accounts.

Where We Work

Our primary working hours are EST (US East Coast), and we can work with anyone whose day overlaps with that timezone; primarily the Americas, Africa, and western Europe.

Bios

After seeing thousands of customers brought to us broken, we take those production fires and expensive 'oopsie' bills and turn them into a stronger environment for you.
