Services

Practical services to design, build and operate resilient cloud-native systems — cloud architecture, DevOps & CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, containerization, observability, migrations and security.

Cloud Architecture

Design and implement scalable, secure cloud platforms with cost-optimisation and reliability best practices. Focus on multi-region and highly available architectures.

DevOps & CI/CD

Automate build, test and deployment pipelines with GitLab CI/Jenkins, enforce code quality, and reduce lead time to production.

Infrastructure as Code

Author reliable, versioned infrastructure using Terraform to provision cloud resources consistently and safely across environments.

Containerization & Docker

Container strategy and image optimisation using Docker, with orchestration guidance for ECS and Kubernetes, plus CI image pipelines.

Serverless & AWS

Design serverless functions and microservices on AWS (Lambda, ECS), including event-driven patterns and cost-aware deployments.

Microservices & System Design

Architect resilient microservices, define service boundaries, API contracts, and patterns for reliability, scaling and service discovery.

Observability & Monitoring

Implement logging, metrics and tracing (ELK/Elastic, Prometheus, Grafana) to improve incident response and system visibility.

Performance Optimization

Improve response times and throughput using caching strategies (Redis), query tuning, and backend optimisations (Laravel caching).

Database Design & Management

Design normalized and performant schemas, manage relational and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases, and implement backup & scaling strategies.

Web App Migration & Next.js

Lead migrations from legacy CMS (WordPress) to modern frameworks (Next.js + Starphi) for performance, SEO and maintainability.

API Design & Integration

Design robust REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks and integrations with third‑party services; create clear API contracts and SDKs for consumers.

Security & Identity (IAM)

Harden applications and cloud environments with IAM best practices, secrets management, vulnerability scanning and least-privilege access models.
