Architecture Review & Roadmap

2–3 weeks

Deep assessment of AWS + Kubernetes foundations (cloud or hybrid/on-prem): multi-account setup, security baselines, CI/CD, observability, and cost controls.

  • Findings deck with priorities
  • 30–90 day roadmap with quick wins
  • Reference architectures and guardrails

Best for: teams preparing to scale or facing reliability/cost risks.

Reliability & Delivery Uplift

4–8 weeks

Stabilise production and speed up releases: safer pipelines, rollout strategies, SLOs, runbooks, and observability baselines.

  • CI/CD hardening (feature flags, canary/blue-green)
  • SLOs, alerts, dashboards, and on-call hygiene
  • Incident playbooks and operational runbooks

Best for: teams shipping but firefighting incidents or slow releases.

AI / LLM Infrastructure

3–6 weeks

GPU-ready cloud environments for inference/training: Kubernetes or ECS with secure networking, cost controls, and real monitoring.

  • Cluster design with autoscaling and GPU scheduling
  • Observability for latency, cost, and model quality signals
  • Infra-as-code templates and deployment runbooks

Best for: teams productizing AI features and need production-grade ops.

Targeted Incident Support

Short, focused help for production issues: Kubernetes reliability, AWS networking, performance bottlenecks, or sudden cost spikes.

Response-time and scope agreed per engagement.
