North America's largest home inspection franchise came to Armakuni for a Flexible Engineering POD embedded alongside the client's developers. Initial scope is an emergency infrastructure migration from a reseller-owned AWS tenant into a North America's largest home inspection company-owned AWS account. Ongoing scope covers DevOps, infrastructure-as-code, and a planned EC2 to ECS modernization.
The challenge
North America's largest home inspection company came to Armakuni on a hard migration deadline. The previous AWS partner had stalled because of gaps in DevOps experience. Armakuni's senior Solutions Architects engaged on the first calls, closed the engagement inside two days, and mobilized a Flexible Engineering POD within two weeks. The POD then delivered a working 8 to 10 week migration. The work has since expanded into an ongoing POD running alongside client developers. Terraform adoption and an EC2 to ECS modernization are scoped for the next phase, on the same retainer.
Scale: Approximately 600 GB of production PostgreSQL, plus EC2 compute, RabbitMQ messaging, Redis cache, and S3 storage. The entire stack ran inside a third-party reseller's AWS account before the migration. The platform supports the largest home inspection franchise in North America.
What we built
Armakuni delivered a Flexible Engineering POD embedded alongside the client's developers. Initial scope is an emergency infrastructure migration from a reseller-owned AWS tenant into a North America's largest home inspection company-owned AWS account. Ongoing scope covers DevOps, infrastructure-as-code, and a planned EC2 to ECS modernization. The engagement ran as two fixed-scope SOWs. Flexible Engineering POD Delivery SOW (effective 29 October 2025) covers the end-to-end migration from the reseller's shared AWS account into a North America's largest home inspection company-owned AWS account. Flexible Engineering POD January SOW (dated 24 November 2025) covers 80 hours per month of retained engineering capacity, plus additional on-call support through the January stabilization window.
The outcomes
8 measurable outcomes shipped across the engagement. The ones that moved the business the most:
Engagement closed within two days of first contact. Facing a hard migration deadline after losing reseller support, the firm got a workable plan and a signed SOW inside 48 hours while other options were still in discovery.
A Flexible Engineering POD was operational inside two weeks. The engagement moved from first call to a mobilized, senior-led POD in under fourteen days, the difference between hitting the cutover window and missing it.
Production workload migrated into an AWS environment the firm controls. Roughly 600 GB of PostgreSQL plus EC2, RabbitMQ, Redis, and S3 now run in their own account, no longer on infrastructure they do not own and cannot directly observe.
A stalled migration program restarted on a realistic 8 to 10 week path. Where no executable plan had existed, the CTO now had a signed SOW, a dated plan, and a mobilized senior POD inside the first two weeks.
Security posture preserved through cutover. ALB, WAF, and ACM were rebuilt in the new account before cutover, so the firm never operated below its existing compliance baseline during the move.
DevOps capability now embedded in the client team. Their developers work alongside an Armakuni POD covering Application, CloudOps, Data, and Solution Architecture, closing the gap that stopped the previous program.
An EC2 to ECS migration scoped and staged so compute cost bends down. Armakuni has a defined path from the lift-and-shift runtime to containerized workloads on Amazon ECS, designing the cost curve to decrease rather than plateau.
Armakuni established as the long-term engineering partner inside the account. What began as an emergency cutover became an ongoing POD, so further modernization now pulls against the existing retainer rather than a new procurement cycle.
Built on AWS
The production environment runs on 13 first-party AWS services. Delivered under our AWS DevOps Consulting Competency. Migration and Modernization Consulting Competency. competency.
What's next
EC2 to ECS migration to lower compute cost and modernize the runtime. Expansion of Terraform coverage across the new account. Continuation of the embedded Flexible Engineering POD alongside North America's largest home inspection company's developers. Further modernization is pulled against the same retainer.
