Why teams choose FactualMinds
AWS Expertise Built for Business Impact
Certified AWS consultants. Proven methodologies. Measurable outcomes across six high-demand practice areas.
Go from prototype to production AI in weeks—not months. We deploy Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker to power intelligent automation, document search, and customer-facing AI features.
Stop breaches before they happen. We implement IAM least-privilege, KMS encryption, GuardDuty threat detection, and Security Hub dashboards—so you stay audit-ready, always.
Turn raw data into revenue decisions. We architect Glue-powered pipelines, Kinesis real-time streams, and QuickSight dashboards your leadership team actually uses.
Ship faster, break less. We build CI/CD pipelines with CodePipeline, automated testing gates, and CloudWatch observability so your team deploys with confidence.
Reach inboxes, not spam folders. We configure Amazon SES with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC—and monitor sender reputation to maximize deliverability for both transactional and marketing email.
Serve every user at peak speed, globally. CloudFront CDN, Lambda@Edge personalization, and Global Accelerator routing mean sub-100ms load times wherever your customers are.
