POC Offering: Self-Service File Transfer Automation

Enterprises often rely on manual, ad-hoc file transfers (SFTP ↔ S3) to exchange critical business data with partners, vendors, or internal teams. This leads to:

• High onboarding time for new partners (weeks instead of days).

• Manual errors and lack of monitoring.

• Compliance & audit challenges (no logging or alerts).

• Limited scalability when onboarding multiple partners.

​

💡 Our Solution (POC Scope)

BayAreaLa8s will deliver a working Proof of Concept in 1–2 weeks to demonstrate how self-service automation solves these challenges:

1. AWS Transfer Family (SFTP) Setup – Secure server with role-based access.

2. Automated File Movement – Lambda moves files from SFTP → S3.

3. JSON-based Partner Onboarding – Simple config file to onboard new folders/files.

4. Monitoring & Alerts – CloudWatch alert for file arrival + logging to S3.

5. Demo Partner Flow – End-to-end test for a “sample partner” to validate automation.
