A foundation, the architectures that run on it, the engineers who operate it, and an honest read on where you are today. Every one of them is built to the same Standard.
BuiltForProd is a production engineering company. It delivers four things: BuiltForProd Baseline, a production cloud foundation deployed into your own accounts; BuiltForProd Blueprints, production-ready workload architectures deployed into that foundation; BuiltForProd Managed, experienced engineers who operate and evolve the platform through your own access and pipelines; and the BuiltForProd Assessment, a measurement of your current system against the BuiltForProd Standard. All four are delivered as infrastructure as code in your repositories and your cloud accounts, and all four are built to the same eight properties.
Your product is unique. Your infrastructure problems aren’t. Every team eventually solves the same set of them; most solve them from scratch, one crisis at a time.
A multi-account cloud foundation in OpenTofu and Terragrunt: identity, network, guardrails, security services, compliance controls and CI/CD. Customized for your organization, deployed into your accounts by our engineers, then handed over with the repositories and the documentation.
Opinionated reference architectures for real workloads, deployed into the workload accounts of your Baseline. Each one is a working system, not a diagram: repositories, pipelines and a running environment.
Production engineers who operate, upgrade and evolve the delivered platform as an extension of your team. They work through your single sign-on groups, your pull requests, your CODEOWNERS and your pipelines. Nothing is applied from a laptop.
An assessment of your current environment against the eight properties of the BuiltForProd Standard, ending in a prioritized gap list. It is the cheapest way to find out whether you need any of the above, and the fee is credited toward a Baseline purchase.
Each product assumes the one before it. Nothing is bundled that you do not need.
The Assessment measures your environment against the eight properties and returns a prioritized gap list. Some teams skip it because the gap is obvious.
The Baseline creates the accounts, identity model, network, guardrails, security services and pipelines that every workload will depend on. This is the part that is expensive to retrofit.
A Blueprint deploys a complete workload architecture into the Baseline’s workload accounts. It reads account and network facts from the foundation instead of duplicating them.
Your team operates the platform using the runbooks and documentation, or Managed engineers operate it with you through your own pull requests and pipelines.
| Where you are | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Everything runs in one cloud account, built by hand | Baseline | The account model, identity and network are the expensive parts to change later. |
| A security questionnaire or audit deadline is in front of you | Baseline | Controls and evidence sources come from the foundation, not from a screenshot scramble. |
| You have a foundation and a new workload to launch | Blueprints | A working architecture in your accounts instead of a quarter of design work. |
| Production matters but nobody owns it full-time | Managed | Engineers who already know the standard the platform was built to. |
| Leadership wants an honest read before spending | Assessment | A gap list against a published standard, credited toward a Baseline. |
| You are not sure production is a problem yet | Read the Standard | Eight questions. If you answer all eight confidently, you do not need us. |
Your repositories, your cloud accounts, full source under the PolyForm Internal Use License 1.0.0. No runtime to rent and nothing in the code names BuiltForProd.
After handover, BuiltForProd holds no principal and no credential in your environment. Managed engineers work only through access you grant and can remove.
Secure, reliable, observable, scalable, automated, recoverable, compliant, operable — each mapped to shipped controls you can check. Read the Standard.
Deployments are quoted per engagement as a fixed fee and fully executed by our team. What shapes a quote.
Architecture decisions, how-to guides, runbooks, troubleshooting entries and upgrade guides, personalized to your own accounts, domains and region.
We publish who we are not for. If BuiltForProd is not the right fit, we will tell you. Compare the alternatives.
No. Most engagements start with one. The Baseline is the foundation everything else assumes, Blueprints need a Baseline to deploy into, Managed is optional, and the Assessment is a way to decide before committing to any of them.
The Baseline is the foundation: the organization, accounts, identity, network, security services, compliance controls and pipelines that every workload sits on. A Blueprint is one workload architecture deployed into that foundation, such as a web application or a data pipeline.
Only if you ask us to. The default is handover: the repositories and the cloud accounts are yours and BuiltForProd keeps no standing access. BuiltForProd Managed is a separate, optional service for teams that want engineers to keep operating and evolving the platform with them.
BuiltForProd Baseline comes in three editions: the AWS Enterprise Baseline, the Azure Enterprise Baseline and the GCP Enterprise Baseline. Each is engineered around its cloud provider’s own architecture framework, and all three are built to the same BuiltForProd Standard.
You own the repositories and the cloud accounts. The full source ships in your own version control under the PolyForm Internal Use License 1.0.0, built on open-source tooling such as OpenTofu, Terragrunt, Kubernetes and ArgoCD, and nothing in the code names BuiltForProd.
Every engagement is a fixed fee, quoted per engagement, and fully executed by the BuiltForProd team. You can buy directly against an invoice, or through an AWS Marketplace private offer so the purchase runs on your consolidated AWS bill.
