Cloud & AWS Testing Services

A misconfigured security group, a broken auto-scaling policy, or an untested failover path can take your entire application offline in seconds. These bugs never show up in development. They surface under real production load, during a traffic spike, or worse, during an actual incident.

Your cloud works in staging. What about under real pressure?

We test your AWS infrastructure the way real incidents test it. Normal load, sudden spikes, component failures, region failovers, and full disaster recovery. If something is going to break, we find it before your users do.

That includes Terraform and CloudFormation validation, AWS service configurations, auto-scaling rules, security groups, IAM policies, and DR procedures. You get a clear picture of what holds up and what needs fixing.

Our Approach

How We Test This Platform

01

We review your architecture first

We go through your AWS architecture, IaC code, and security configuration to understand what you have, find the risk areas, and plan the test scenarios that actually matter.

02

We scan your IaC before it deploys

Static analysis of your Terraform and CloudFormation code catches security misconfigurations, deprecated resources, and best practice violations before anything hits a real environment.

03

We validate every AWS service config

We deploy into a non-production environment and verify each AWS service behaves the way it is configured. If a setting is wrong, we find it here.

04

We run chaos engineering experiments

We inject controlled failures: terminating instances, blocking network paths, simulating service outages. Then we watch how the system responds and document every gap.

05

We audit security groups and IAM policies

Both automated scanning and manual review of security groups, IAM roles, and network configs. We look for misconfigurations, overly broad permissions, and anything that could be exploited.

06

We test your disaster recovery for real

We simulate actual failure scenarios, fail over to secondary regions, restore from backups, and measure your real RTO and RPO against the targets you have set.

Real Bug Examples

Common Bugs We Catch on Cloud & AWS

!
Security group allowing 0.0.0.0/0 on sensitive ports
Impact:Complete public exposure
!
Auto-scaling not triggering until too late
Impact:Outage during traffic spikes
!
S3 bucket publicly readable
Impact:Data breach
!
RDS backup never tested, so restoration fails when needed
Impact:Data loss during incident
!
Lambda timeout too short for complex operations
Impact:Silent failure on large requests
!
IAM role with wildcard * permissions
Impact:Privilege escalation risk

We work in your non-production environments (dev, staging). For security testing we use a separate sandbox account. We never touch your production environment.
