Cloud and DevOps that deploy on command and recover without a call
AWS architecture, CI/CD, monitoring, and cost control for teams who want to ship on a Friday without dreading the weekend.
We learned scale the hard way, running a video platform that delivered billions of views. That kind of load teaches you which parts of a system fail first and how expensive it is to find out in production. The lessons carry down to smaller systems: put the slow work in queues, cache the things that don't change, know your failure modes before they happen, and make every deploy identical to the last one.
Most of what we do here is unglamorous and worth a lot. Infrastructure defined in code so environments match. A pipeline that runs tests, builds, and deploys without a human clicking through consoles. Alerts tuned so an engineer only wakes up when something is genuinely broken. Backups that have been restored at least once, because an untested backup isn't a backup. And a hard look at the bill, where idle instances, forgotten environments, and unbounded log retention quietly eat budget every month.
- Infrastructure as code for every environment, so staging actually resembles production
- A CI/CD pipeline with automated tests, one-command deploys, and a rollback path that's been rehearsed
- Monitoring, logging, and alerting configured for signal instead of noise, with dashboards your team will read
- Backup and disaster recovery with a documented, tested restore procedure and a stated recovery time
- A cost review that finds waste: oversized instances, orphaned storage, unused environments, egress surprises
- A written runbook covering deploys, incidents, scaling, and on-call, so knowledge isn't stuck in one person's head
How we work
Map what exists
We document the current architecture, deploy process, failure points, and monthly spend before changing anything.
Automate the deploy
Getting releases repeatable and reversible comes first, because it makes every later change safer.
Add visibility
Metrics, logs, and alerts go in next, so we're improving the system based on evidence rather than intuition.
Harden and optimize
Scaling, redundancy, security posture, and cost reduction, prioritized by what's most likely to hurt you.

For years, the internet's #1 video site. We built and ran it — ingest, transcoding, edge delivery, and a front end that survived every viral spike.

Usually, yes. Most growing accounts carry oversized compute, storage nobody claims, environments that were meant to be temporary, and data transfer patterns nobody has looked at. We audit it, show you the line items with the largest gap between cost and value, and implement the fixes.
We provide monitoring, escalation, and support arrangements that fit your risk tolerance and budget. For many clients, the better outcome is a system stable enough that on-call is quiet, plus a runbook their own team can follow. We'll be direct with you about which you need.
Yes, and we do it in stages with a rollback plan at each step. We prove the new environment with real traffic before cutting over DNS. Migrations go wrong when they're one big irreversible event, so we don't run them that way.
