Agentic AI Engineering, GenAI & Developer Platforms

Production-grade Amazon Bedrock RAG systems, custom Model Context Protocol (FastMCP) tool servers, and our proprietary "Loop Engineering" operating model that turns engineering teams into 10x agentic organizations.

  • Enterprise GenAI & Hybrid RAG: Amazon Bedrock, pgvector, OpenSearch, reranking pipelines, deterministic eval harnesses, and PII/prompt-injection guardrails.
  • FastMCP & Text-to-SQL Data Agents: Domain-aware MCP servers connecting LLMs safely to enterprise schemas, metadata catalogs, and operational runbooks.

Practice 04 For CFOs · CTOs · Private Equity Operating Partners

Cloud FinOps, Commercial Licensing & LLM Economics

Architectural cost engineering that eliminates waste at the root: from AWS compute/storage rightsizing and Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) negotiations to commercial database core isolation and real-time LLM token budgets.

  • AWS FinOps & Unit-Cost Attribution: Multi-tenant cost allocation tags, Graviton migration, S3 intelligent tiering, NAT/egress surgery, and Savings Plans optimization.
  • Commercial Database Licensing FinOps: Hard-isolated virtualization and core consolidation cutting Oracle EE and SQL Server licensing liabilities by up to 85%.
  • Real-Time LLM Cost Governance (tokener): Pre-stream token budget enforcement per tenant, feature, and developer before runaway prompts hit your AWS or OpenAI invoice.

tokener: Pre-Stream LLM Cost & FinOps Control Plane

Cloud billing dashboards tell you what your AI agents spent yesterday. tokener sits in the request path in front of Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, and OpenAI, attributing every token to a tenant, feature, and developer while enforcing hard rolling USD budgets before an upstream stream opens.

  • Sub-millisecond Redis Lua atomic budget checks with automatic fallback model routing (e.g., Opus to Sonnet/Haiku).
  • Recovers ~22% of unattributed AI and cloud spend within the first 30 days of deployment.
  • Deploys inside your own AWS VPC on ECS Fargate or EKS via a single Terraform module; prompts never leave your boundary.

The Archeon Operating Doctrine

Why CTOs Choose Principal Craft Over Junior Pyramid Staffing.

Large system integrators sell with senior partners and deliver with rotating pods of juniors who learn on your bill. We engineered Archeon Cloud around four non-negotiable operating principles.

01 / PRINCIPAL-ONLY EXECUTION

The Architects on the Call Write the Terraform & C++.

We have no junior tier, no offshore body-shop bench, and no account-manager telephone game. Every engagement is led hands-on by a principal engineer with 20+ years of production scar tissue across petabyte-scale data and regulated cloud estates.

02 / SOLVE ONCE, EVOLVE CONTINUOUSLY

Our "Corporate Brain" Compounds Across Every Engagement.

Every architectural bottleneck we solve is codified into reusable Terraform modules, dbt macros, and FastMCP agentic skills. When you hire Archeon Cloud, you inherit two decades of pre-verified institutional engineering patterns on day one.

03 / ASYNC VIDEO RFCS & WRITTEN ADRS

High-Signal Executive Communication, Zero Meeting Bloat.

Prior to major architectural decisions, we deliver concise 5-to-10 minute asynchronous video walkthroughs paired with rigorous written Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and trade-off matrices so your leadership team can review asynchronously.

04 / DAY-ONE CLIENT OWNERSHIP

We Build Your Team's Independence, Not Our Retainer.

Every line of Terraform, Python, SQL, and runbook documentation is committed directly into your repositories from commit #1. We pair-program with your engineers and hand over a self-sustaining platform with zero proprietary black boxes.

Delivery Lifecycle

From Architectural Discovery to Self-Sustaining Production.

Inspired by the world's best specialist cloud consultancies, every Archeon engagement follows a disciplined five-phase engineering lifecycle with fixed milestones and transparent pricing.
