AI & cloud consulting · Virtual

Focused AI and cloud projects, priced by outcome.

Larson Development takes on well-defined work: a smaller AWS bill, image and text search that works at scale, and developers who are productive with Claude Code. You pay a fixed price or a negotiated percentage of the savings, with no open-ended retainers.

AWS cost optimization

If your AWS bill has outgrown your business, we find out why and bring it down. The fee is a negotiated percentage of the savings, so it stays tied to results you can see on the invoice.

FAQ

Good questions to ask first

How are AWS savings calculated?

Before any work starts, we agree on a baseline from your AWS billing data and on how changes in usage will be handled. The percentage is negotiated for each project, and it goes in the written agreement along with the period it applies to.

What access do you need to our AWS account?

Analysis starts with read-only access to billing and resource data. Any changes to your environment are planned with your team and made only with your approval.

Is our company too small for vector search?

Probably not. The same approach works for thousands of images or millions, and the design and fixed price are matched to your data.

Do you work on site?

Our work is virtual, which keeps projects focused and costs down.

Do you take on long-term or staff-augmentation contracts?

We focus on smaller projects with a defined finish. If a larger program needs dividing up, we are happy to start with one well-scoped piece.

Are you affiliated with AWS, Google, or Anthropic?

No. Larson Development is an independent consultancy.
