⏚ Summary
What this engagement is, plainly.
Provisioning is easy; orchestration is what makes it survive growth. We design the substrate that lets you scale resources predictably while keeping operational complexity flat.
Problems we solve
Traffic spikes break your system and you can't reliably predict capacity needs.
Container workloads, batch jobs, and stateful systems coexist with no consistent model.
Scaling triggers fire too late or too eager, and the bill reflects it.
⏚ Approach
How we run this engagement.
- 01Phase
Workload taxonomy
We classify every workload by SLA, statefulness, and traffic shape. Different workloads get different runtimes — and we make that visible, not implicit.
- 02Phase
Autoscaling that means it
Predictive scaling for known patterns, reactive for surprises, scheduled for batch. We don't bolt CPU thresholds onto everything and call it a day.
- 03Phase
Capacity as code
Resource quotas, scaling limits, and budget guardrails live in IaC. Surprises require an approval, not a 3am page.
⏚ Deliverables
What you get, signed off.
Workload taxonomy + runtime selection
Autoscaling policies (predictive + reactive)
Capacity budgets + guardrails
Load testing harness
On-call playbooks for capacity events
⏚ Stack we typically use
Tools, not religion.
We pick on workload and team shape, not on fashion. Anything below is a default — swappable when your context demands.
- Kubernetes
- Karpenter
- KEDA
- Terraform
- Crossplane
- OpenCost
Outcome
Infrastructure that scales smoothly under load, capacity events that are anticipated not surprised, and a bill that scales sub-linearly with traffic.
