Real infrastructure. Measurable results.

How we've helped teams cut cloud costs, scale on Kubernetes, and ship faster — with the numbers to back it up.

Agentic Cost Optimization

Cutting a scaling startup's cloud bill by 60%

Right-sizing a fast-growing Kubernetes platform — nodes, autoscaling, staging, and storage — to reclaim ~60% of spend without slowing the team down. Built an agent to make optimisation autonomous.

Database Performance

Cutting database CPU by 83% without upgrading the instance

A busy payments database was pegging its CPU at peak hours. Instead of moving to a bigger instance, we found and removed the unused indexes eating the write capacity — average CPU dropped 83% on the same hardware.

13.4% → 2.3%

Cost Optimization

Cutting the managed Postgres bill without giving up RDS-class reliability

Moving a multi-tenant SaaS platform off AWS RDS and Aurora Serverless v2 onto self-hosted CloudNativePG on Kubernetes — lower database spend, HA and point-in-time recovery on par with managed Postgres, and zero downtime for live tenants.

AI-Native DevOps

Letting engineers query production with AI — without handing out credentials

Hosted MCP gateways so engineers can ask questions of production databases, logs, and metrics straight from their AI coding tools — behind SSO, read-only enforced on the server, and every query tied to a real person.

Read-only, enforced server-side

Cloud Migration

Moving a cross-border payments app to AWS with zero downtime

A phased, no-downtime migration from DigitalOcean to AWS for a cross-border payments company — live data kept in sync throughout.

Security

The small control that stopped a supply chain attack

A Route 53 DNS Firewall rolled out across a client's AWS accounts in days — malicious domains blocked at the resolver, alerts on anything suspicious. Months later, it stopped a real supply chain attack cold.

Observability

Cheaper logs, longer retention, no single disk to fail

Replacing a fragile, full-text-indexed logging stack with label-indexed, S3-backed Grafana Loki and Alloy — lower cost, near-real-time ingestion, and retention that isn't capped by one PVC.

Labels, not full-text index

Cloud Architecture

Serving every image size from one master file — at a fraction of the storage and compute

On-demand image resizing with AWS Lambda and CloudFront, so one source image serves every size the app needs — no pre-generated variants, no wasted storage or build-time compute.

Many → 1

Variants stored per image

Security

Setting up org-wide threat detection across an AWS Organization

Rolling out Amazon GuardDuty across a customer's entire AWS Organization from one delegated security account — centralized findings, real-time alerting, and every current and future account auto-enrolled.

Org-wide, auto-enroll

Making CIS AWS controls enforce, not just exist

Auditing a customer against the CIS AWS Benchmark and AWS FSBP, then closing the gap between controls that looked present and controls that were actually enforced.
