AWS vs Azure vs GCP
Why AWS is the best choice for your startup in 2026
We're not cloud-agnostic. We're AWS specialists because it's objectively the best option for most startups.
AWS Activate: up to $100K in free credits
If you're in an incubator or have funding, you access AWS Activate with up to $100,000 in credits. Azure and GCP offer similar programs but with less availability and more bureaucracy. We help you apply and maximize credits.
Most mature service ecosystem
Lambda serverless has 10 years in production vs Azure Functions (2016). DynamoDB is the de facto standard for NoSQL. S3 is synonymous with object storage. AWS has first-mover advantage translating to stability, docs, and community.
Best for AI/ML and AI agents
SageMaker, Bedrock, Lambda GPU, ECS Fargate for AI agents. AWS has the best infrastructure for deploying AI systems in production. Cursor, Devin, and main AI-first tools optimize for AWS.
Transparent and predictable pricing
AWS has accurate calculator, clear Savings Plans, and flexible Reserved Instances. Azure has confusing naming and billing surprises. With AWS you know exactly what you pay, and we optimize from day 1 to avoid bill shock.

What we do in AWS (and what we DON'T do)
We're not generalists who do everything. We specialize in serverless architectures, cloud migration, and optimization for startups. If you need on-premise hybrid cloud or Windows/.NET, we'll recommend specialists.
Serverless Architecture
Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, EventBridge. We design architectures that scale automatically, cost $0 with zero traffic, and support millions of requests without rewriting code. CDK or Terraform for reproducible IaC.
Cloud Migration (Lift & Shift + Refactor)
We migrate legacy systems to AWS with zero downtime. Phase 1: lift & shift to EC2/RDS. Phase 2: incremental refactor to serverless. Includes rollback plan, exhaustive testing, and knowledge transfer to team.
Cost Optimization
Complete infrastructure audit. We identify over-provisioning, poorly sized instances, unnecessary storage. Implement Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, Spot for non-critical loads. Typical ROI: 40-60% reduction.
AI Agents Infrastructure
ECS Fargate for multi-agent systems, SQS for task queues, DynamoDB for agent state, S3 for code artifacts. Reference architecture for deploying Devin, Cursor agents, and custom agentic systems in production.
CI/CD & DevOps
GitHub Actions + AWS CodePipeline. Automatic deployments to ECS/Lambda. Blue-green deployments, canary releases, automatic rollbacks. Monitoring with CloudWatch + DataDog. Infrastructure as code with CDK/Terraform.
Security & Compliance
IAM policies following least privilege, secrets in Secrets Manager, encryption at rest/transit, VPC network isolation, CloudTrail audit logs. GDPR compliant, prepare for SOC2/ISO27001 if on your roadmap.
How we work: AWS consulting process
Proven methodology across 50+ AWS projects. We adapt based on your stage (pre-seed, seed, series A+) but core remains the same.
1. Discovery & Assessment (1-2 weeks)
Audit current architecture (if exists), understand product roadmap, identify technical bottlenecks. Output: recommended architecture document + estimated AWS budget + prioritized quick wins.
2. Architecture & Planning (1-2 weeks)
Design detailed AWS architecture. Diagrams, tech stack, cost estimation per service, migration plan (if applicable), risks & mitigations. Joint review until total alignment before writing code.
3. Implementation (4-12 weeks)
Deploy infrastructure with IaC (CDK or Terraform). Setup CI/CD, monitoring, alerting. For migrations: phased approach with rollback plan always ready. Weekly sprints with progress demos.
4. Optimization & Handoff (2 weeks)
Performance and cost tuning. Load testing. Complete documentation (runbooks, architecture decision records). Knowledge transfer to your team. Optional: ongoing support package.
Real AWS projects
AWS projects we've implemented for startups and scale-ups. NDAs prevent revealing names but numbers are real.
Migrated Ruby on Rails monolith from Heroku to AWS. ECS Fargate + RDS Aurora + S3. Initial Heroku cost: $4,200/month. AWS post-migration cost: $1,400/month (-67%). Performance +40% on p95 latency. Zero downtime during migration.
Serverless architecture from scratch. Lambda + API Gateway + DynamoDB + SQS. Current monthly cost: $280/month with 50K users. Automatic scaling without intervention. Complete stack in CDK for total reproducibility.
Existing AWS cost optimization. Audit identified EC2 over-provisioning, oversized RDS, unmanaged snapshots. Implemented Savings Plans + rightsizing. Reduction: $8,200/month → $3,100/month (-62%).
AWS infrastructure to deploy 50+ AI agents in parallel. ECS Fargate with auto-scaling, SQS for task distribution, DynamoDB for agent state. Cost: $890/month with $100K AWS Activate credits. Architecture ready to scale to 500+ agents.
Specialized AWS expertise vs. generalist consulting
Large consultancies are cloud-agnostic (jack of all trades, master of none) or platform-locked (Azure/GCP bias). NERVICO is AWS-specialist by choice, not by accident.
Big consultancies: cloud-agnostic approach
Firms like Accenture, Deloitte Digital offer AWS + Azure + GCP. Sounds good but means surface-level knowledge, no deep optimization expertise, and consultants rotating across platforms. Generic playbooks, not AWS-specific best practices.
Platform vendors: conflict of interest
Google Cloud or Azure partners have incentive to push their platform even when AWS is better fit. They'll downplay AWS advantages (Activate credits, mature Lambda, DynamoDB) and emphasize their platform features even if not relevant to your needs.
NERVICO: AWS specialists for startups
10+ years exclusive AWS experience. We know AWS Activate, optimization for low burn rate, architectures that scale without over-engineering. Work with startups pre-seed to series B. Senior team, no offshore junior developers.
Frequently asked questions about AWS consulting
Why choose NERVICO for AWS consulting instead of large firms?
Unlike big consultancies (multi-cloud generalists or platform-locked), NERVICO specializes in AWS with 10+ years experience. We work with startups and scale-ups, not just enterprise. We know AWS Activate, cost optimization for early-stage, and architectures that scale without over-engineering upfront.
How much does AWS consulting typically cost?
Depends on scope. Architecture audit: from $3,000. Full migration to AWS: $10,000-$40,000 depending on complexity. Greenfield architecture: $6,000-$18,000. Cost optimization: flat $1,800 + % of savings generated. We offer free 30-min assessment to estimate exact budget.
Do you work with early-stage startups or only established companies?
We work with startups from pre-seed to series B+. We know AWS Activate (up to $100K in credits), how to design architectures that cost <$500/month at MVP stage and scale to millions of users. 60% of our clients are early-stage startups.
What's the difference between AWS consulting and hiring a freelance DevOps?
A freelancer implements what you ask for. Consulting includes: current architecture audit, recommendations based on AWS best practices, technical roadmap, implementation, documentation, knowledge transfer, and post-project support. It's the difference between "doing AWS" and "doing AWS right from day one".
Do you offer ongoing support after implementation?
Yes. We offer monthly support packages (from $1,500/month) including: 24/7 monitoring, incident response, continuous optimization, security updates, and access to our senior team. Also works as "CTO as a service" for startups without in-house technical team.
How long does a complete AWS migration take?
Depends on current system. Simple monolithic app: 3-6 weeks. Complex legacy system: 3-6 months with incremental migration and zero downtime. Greenfield architecture: 4-8 weeks. We always plan zero-downtime migrations with rollback plan.
Ready to do AWS right from day one?
