We asked our team what makes this place different.

The way a team treats each other is the way they'll treat your environment.

Ours clearly doesn't need babying every step of the way and get things done the right way. There's also a passion to be found when everything feels genuine and people are valued.

Looking for an AWS partner who shows up like that? Let's talk.

Data lake, data warehouse, or lakehouse?

Most teams pick the wrong one first.

They're not three tiers of the same thing. They answer three different questions:
🪣 A data lake is a massive, low-cost storage pool that holds data in its original, raw format.
🏛️ A data warehouse stores data that is already cleaned, organized, and ready for business use.
🏠 A lakehouse runs both jobs off one copy of the data.

The architecture should follow the question you actually need answered, not the trend.

Which one are you running right now and is it the one you'd choose again?

Behind the scenes with our Autumn Leafers!

Some of us run three screens, some run one. Some need the mechanical keyboard, some need their noise cancelling headphones, most need their coffee. 😉

What they all have in common is the amazing work they do, no matter which corner they do it from.

Which setup looks most like yours?

Anyone can build a cloud. Running it is the hard part.

Go-live is day one. Everything after is operations... and in most teams that quietly becomes nobody's job.

Eight modules: Strategy & Advisory, Service Transition, Logging & Monitoring, Billing & Cost, AWS Infrastructure, Access Control, Security and Well-Architected Reviews

Swipe through all eight.

Let us do the job nobody is doing.

What would you be doing if you weren’t working in IT?

We asked some of our team and turns out, there was quite a few alternate careers in mind ... from mechanical engineering to e-sports and even being a house husband. 🧹

We might have found our calling in tech, but it’s the people, personalities and interests outside the job that make Autumn Leaf what it is.

Six gates stand between a commit and your customers. We design them, automate them, and keep them running.

🔁 Git as the single source of truth — GitLab, Bitbucket
📦 Docker images at scale on Kubernetes, EKS and ECS
🧪 Continuous end-to-end tests inside the pipeline
🔒 Test-driven security for industry compliance and governance
📊 End-to-end traceability — Istio, Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch

Plus continuous FinOps-driven cost improvement across the account.

Deploys become routine. Your engineers stay on features.

Where does your pipeline slow down... testing, approvals, or the deploy itself?

Your data isn't broken. It's just never been through a pipeline.

Most teams don't have a data problem, they have a trust problem. Nobody argues about the dashboard when they know where the number came from.

Swipe for the steps that turn raw ingestion into something your exec team will actually believe.

We asked the team: what's your favorite productivity tool?

The list came back split.. Terraform, Cursor, Kiro, Ansible, Notepad++ on one side, and on the other: Spotify, YouTube Music, a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

⚙️ The engineers who build things named the thing that builds
🎧 The engineers who solve things named the thing that clears their head
🧠 Both answers are about the same thing: focus 🤝

Give people quiet, autonomy and good tooling, and the work takes care of itself.

What's the one you couldn't work without — software, or even a playlist?

Anyone can build a cloud. Running it is the hard part.

Go-live isn't the finish line, it's day one. By month 14, without operations: tags drift, the bill climbs, the person who built it has left, and the security baseline has quietly eroded.

Nobody decided that. It's just what happens when running it is everyone's job in theory and nobody's in practice.

CloudOps is the fix ! Governance, observability, FinOps and security, on an SLA.

Lets get month 14 looking like day 1 today
