Madera Web Services: Cloud & DevOps

Enterprise uptime. Without the enterprise headcount.

Cloud infrastructure and compliance experienced, DevOps for medium, small business, funds and healthcare practices. 99.999% uptime maintained in current infrastructure work, one accountable engineer instead of a ticket queue.

The Madera Method
A.D.A.P.T.

A disciplined approach to building and operating secure cloud infrastructure.

Every engagement follows the same operating model: align the business need, design the right architecture, automate what should be repeatable, prove it works, then transition it into an environment that can be operated and improved.

  1. A|Align
    Start with the outcome.

    Requirements, stakeholders, constraints, risk and what success actually means.

  2. D|Design
    Engineer before deploying.

    Architecture, security, resilience, recovery, cost and operational requirements.

  3. A|Automate
    Make it reproducible.

    Infrastructure as code, version control, CI/CD and AI-assisted workflows where they add value.

  4. P|Prove
    Trust evidence, not assumptions.

    Validate security, monitoring, backups, recovery, performance and expected behavior.

  5. T|Transition
    Leave it operable.

    Documentation, runbooks, ownership, monitoring and a clear path for continuous improvement.

The failure that doesn't show up until the audit does

Nothing above shows up on a status page. Until it does.

An unpatched instance nobody remembers spinning up. A failover that's never actually been tested. A vendor who goes quiet the week your compliance officer asks for documentation.

None of it shows up on a status page. It shows up in a due-diligence questionnaire, or an incident report, at the worst possible time. That's the risk being carried every day by a fund too lean to justify a full-time DevOps hire, or a practice running patient systems on whatever the last vendor left behind.

What exactly am I buying

Three ways to bring in enterprise infrastructure discipline, sized to what you need

Engagement model, not service category: for this buyer, how you commit matters more than a checklist of domains. A fund or a healthcare practice evaluating a vendor asks about scope, SLA, and exit terms before anything else.

TIER 01 / Managed

The DevOps hire you don't have to make

Ongoing management: monitoring and alerting, IAM/RBAC administration, automated backup and disaster recovery, CI/CD upkeep, incident response. Scoped and priced like a fractional hire, not a break-fix vendor.

TIER 02 / Project

Audit, harden, document, hand off

A fixed-scope engagement built around a specific deadline: a fundraise, an audit, a migration. Infrastructure hardening, disaster-recovery build-out, cloud migration, compliance documentation and SOPs, delivered on a set timeline with a clean handoff.

TIER 03 / Advisory

A second set of eyes, before you commit to either

Architecture review, vendor and MSP evaluation, pre-audit readiness check. For teams not ready for an ongoing or project engagement yet, or who want an outside read before a bigger decision.

Has this been done for someone like me

Proof, by vertical

For business that require regulatory compliance and can't afford downtime

Currently responsible for production Linux and Windows infrastructure supporting medium to small business and hedge fund clients across AWS and Azure: 99.999% uptime, IAM and Azure RBAC hardened for least-privilege access, and automated AMI/EBS-snapshot disaster recovery built specifically to cut recovery time.

For practices where downtime means a canceled visit, not a Slack message

Led facility operations for a multi-site healthcare organization: HIPAA, ADA, and OSHA compliance, MSP and vendor coordination, and IT upgrades executed with zero disruption to patient care.

Architecture, Security & Cost Model

How the System Works and What It Costs

An AI application built with AWS CDK, ECS Fargate, PrivateLink, guardrails, multi-AZ networking, automated deployment and detailed cost analysis.

9 VPC interface endpoints — $131.40/mo fixed, before data processing.

Fixed — billed regardless of trafficUsage-based — scales with requests / tokens / logs

Amazon Nova Lite$17.52/mo
CloudWatch & Flow Logs$5–20/mo
AWS WAF$8–10/mo
Public IPv4 addresses$7.30/mo

The largest predictable cost isn't compute or inference — it's the private connectivity layer. Nine interface endpoints across two Availability Zones run ≈$131.40/month before data processing, the fixed price of a no-NAT, isolated network design.

The largest variable cost is Bedrock Guardrails, which scales with prompt and response length rather than request volume. Nova Lite inference stays cheap at this traffic level.

Modeled at US East (N. Virginia), current AWS list pricing, ≈100 requests/hour at 2,000 input / 500 output tokens. Engineering estimate, not an AWS quote.

Is the AI part just hype

Where this is already heading

The same infrastructure discipline extends to the automated, AI-assisted workflows funds and practices are starting to ask about: reasoning, memory, and code execution, built on Amazon Bedrock and Claude. Not the reason to start this conversation. The reason it doesn't have to be the last one.

Madera Web Services: Schedule

One call. Thirty minutes.

A systems review, not a sales pitch: walk through what's running today, where the exposure actually is, and whether it's worth continuing the conversation. If it's not a fit, you'll know within twenty minutes, and you'll still have gotten something useful out of it.

Or email Adonis@maderaweb.net

For the visitor who isn't sure yet

Not sure any of this is the right fit, or even what to call the problem? That's fine. Nothing above requires diagnosing it first. A slow site, a climbing AWS bill, a vendor who's gone quiet, a nagging sense nobody's actually watching the infrastructure: say what's happening at Adonis@maderaweb.net. This is just permission to use it before you're certain.
