Full service descriptionIn numbers: Mid-sized companies with AWS setup typically spend between 3,000 and 30,000 EUR per month on AWS, depending on the workload size. With FinOps methods, it is possible to save 20-40% of those costs without performance loss. The most common services in the DACH mid-market: EC2, RDS (PostgreSQL/MySQL), S3, CloudFront, Lambda – in that order.

Frequently asked questions about AWS Consulting in Hannover
In the DACH SME sector, 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 Hanover, we often encounter IoT Core (logistics), AWS RoboMaker (industry), or SageMaker (AI projects) as well.
We work with transparent daily rates instead of nested fixed-price constructs. A typical initial consultation (architecture review, roadmap, effort estimation) costs €2,000-5,000 and lasts 2-4 days. Longer engagements are billed on a daily or sprint basis. Travel to Hannover is included if needed – we are based in Hamburg and can be on-site in 1-2 hours.
Both hyperscalers meet most mid-sized business requirements. AWS has a larger variety of services and a more mature tooling landscape, while Azure benefits if the company is already Microsoft-focused (Office 365, Active Directory, .NET stack). We assist with vendor-neutral assessments – including multi-cloud options if vendor lock-in is a risk.
