AWS-Certified. Battle-Tested. Built to Work Alongside Your Team.
We’re one of a small number of European AWS Advanced Tier Partners holding three validated AWS Competencies — in AI Services, Migration & Modernization, and DevOps. Not because we collected badges. Because we’ve shipped production systems in all three.
Three Competencies. One Small Team.
AWS Advanced Tier is not a self-certification. It requires external validation of technical depth, customer outcomes, and operational maturity — including 50+ individual AWS certifications across the team and audited customer case studies.
We’ve earned three of the most technically demanding AWS Competencies available: AI Services, Migration & Modernization, and DevOps. For a boutique consultancy, that’s unusual — and intentional.
AI Services Competency
Most teams can build a demo. The AWS AI Services Competency validates that we can ship what comes after.
AI projects fail most often not in the idea phase, but in the transition to production: security gaps, cost explosions, unreliable outputs, no observability. The AWS AI Services Competency — validated through a rigorous external audit — recognizes partners who have successfully navigated exactly that transition with real enterprise customers.
We help European engineering teams build AI systems they can actually run, own, and evolve — using Amazon Bedrock, Strands, and SageMaker, alongside open-source tooling where it fits.
What We Deliver
Assistants & Knowledge Systems RAG pipelines, internal knowledge chat, document intelligence — AI that works with your existing data, not around it.
AI Platform Engineering Model orchestration, observability, cost controls, guardrails — the infrastructure layer that makes AI reliable in production.
LLM Integration & Governance Integrating foundation models into existing products and workflows, with security and compliance built in from day one.
Why It Matters
Fewer than 40% of organizations have moved AI beyond the experimentation phase. The competency validates that we’ve helped teams cross that threshold — not just build prototypes.
Migration and Modernization Competency
Migrate to AWS — and arrive with better architecture than you left with.
Moving to the cloud is not the goal. It’s the opportunity. We use migration as the moment to modernize — so you don’t land in AWS with the same technical debt you started with.
The AWS Migration & Modernization Competency distinguishes partners with deep expertise in advanced replatforming and refactoring — not just rehosting. It validates that we’ve helped real enterprise teams transform legacy applications and infrastructure into cloud-native workloads, while keeping the business running throughout.
We don’t treat migration and modernization as sequential phases. We do both simultaneously — identifying which parts of your system can be modernized in transit, and using the migration itself as the trigger to break up monoliths, introduce managed services, and establish the patterns your team will build on for years.
What We Deliver
Application Portfolio Assessment We start with an honest picture: which workloads are worth modernizing now, which can be rehosted temporarily, and which should be retired. No migration theatre — just decisions grounded in architecture, cost, and team capacity.
Replatforming & Refactoring in Transit We modernize applications as they move — containerizing services, replacing self-managed components with AWS-managed equivalents (RDS, ECS, EKS, SQS), and decomposing monoliths where it delivers real value. No big-bang rewrites. Incremental, zero-downtime, auditable.
Cloud-Native Foundation Landing zone design, account structure, networking, and IAM — built for what comes after migration, not just for the migration itself.
Knowledge Transfer Throughout Your engineers work alongside us at every stage. When we’re done, your team understands every architectural decision — not just the outcome, but the reasoning.
Why It Matters
A lift-and-shift moves your problems to a different postcode. The AWS Migration & Modernization Competency — specifically in the modernization services category — validates that we’ve done the harder work: transforming how applications are built, deployed, and operated on AWS, not just where they run.
AWS DevOps Competency
The best CI/CD pipeline is the one your engineers understand well enough to change themselves.
The AWS DevOps Competency validates partners who have demonstrated — through external audit and customer evidence — that they can design and operate automated, production-ready AWS environments at scale.
We build CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, and IaC setups not just to work, but to be owned. That means we document decisions, explain tradeoffs, and pair with your engineers — so you’re not dependent on us to make a change next quarter.
What We Deliver
Delivery Pipelines CI/CD with CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or ArgoCD — designed around your team’s workflow, not ours.
Platform Engineering Self-service infrastructure, service catalogs, internal developer platforms that make your teams faster without creating new bottlenecks.
Observability & Reliability Monitoring, alerting, and incident response setup — so you know what’s happening before your customers do.
Infrastructure as Code Terraform or CloudFormation — versioned, reviewed, and understood by your team.
Why It Matters
Engineering velocity is not just about automation. It’s about confidence. The AWS DevOps Competency demonstrates that we’ve helped teams ship faster and more reliably — not by removing humans from the loop, but by making the loop tighter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner mean? It is the second-highest tier in the AWS Partner Network and requires 50+ individual certifications, demonstrated customer success, and external technical validation by AWS.
What is the difference between an AWS Competency and a certification? Certifications are individual credentials held by specific people. Competencies are organisational validations — they prove that the company as a whole has successfully delivered projects in a given domain, backed by documented customer evidence and an external audit.
Why is it notable that a small team holds three Competencies? Competencies require not just knowledge, but audited customer projects and rigorous external review. For a boutique consultancy, that’s unusual — and a sign of genuine, broad depth rather than surface-level specialisation.
Does superluminar work exclusively with AWS? Yes. That focus is deliberate — it means we know the AWS ecosystem deeply enough to give you real recommendations, not just resell features.
