Frequently asked questions about AWS Consulting in Hamburg
In the DACH medium-sized companies, we primarily see EC2 (virtual servers), RDS for PostgreSQL/MySQL, S3 for storage, CloudFront as a CDN, and increasingly Lambda for event-driven workloads. For GDPR-relevant data, Frankfurt (eu-central-1) is the standard. Industry-specific in Hamburg, IoT Core (logistics), AWS RoboMaker (industry), or SageMaker (AI projects) are often added.
We work with transparent daily rates instead of nested fixed-price structures. A typical initial consultation (architecture review, roadmap, effort estimation) costs 2,000-5,000 EUR and lasts 2-4 days. Longer engagements are billed on a daily or sprint basis. Travel to Hamburg is included if needed – we are located in Hamburg and can be on-site in 1-2 hours.
Both hyperscalers meet most mid-sized business requirements. AWS has a broader service variety and a more mature tooling landscape, while Azure benefits if the company is already Microsoft-focused (Office 365, Active Directory, .NET stack). We provide vendor-neutral assessments – including multi-cloud options if vendor lock-in is a risk.
