The goal: boring operations
A healthy platform is predictable: deploys are repeatable, alerts are actionable, and you can answer “what changed?” quickly. I help teams get there—whether you’re building fresh or inheriting a messy setup.
What I typically improve
Principle of least privilege, secret handling, secure networking, and sane access patterns.
CI/CD, staging vs prod, migrations, rollbacks, and safe release practices.
Structured logs, metrics, traces where needed, and alerts you can trust.
Caching, WAF, rate limiting, bot mitigation, and DNS that’s managed deliberately.
Remove waste, right-size, and implement simple guardrails so cost doesn’t drift.
Runbooks, incident response, backups, and operational ownership.
FAQ
Often it’s missing operational foundations: observability, deploy safety, and clear ownership. Cloud services don’t automatically create good ops.
Yes. DNS, caching strategy, WAF/rate limiting, bot mitigation, and edge behavior should support your threat model and product needs.
Yes. A short audit can produce a prioritized plan: quick wins, medium fixes, and longer-term improvements.
