Challenge
Growing SaaS platform running on unoptimized AWS infrastructure. Manual deployments, no standardized environments, inconsistent scaling policies, and infrastructure costs spiraling at 40% month over month. Engineering team blocked by infrastructure constraints.
Solution
I designed and implemented a production-grade Kubernetes cluster on EKS with standardized deployment pipelines via GitHub Actions and Argo CD. I built infrastructure as code with Terraform for reproducible environments, implemented autoscaling, resource quotas, and cost controls, and migrated workloads with zero downtime.
Outcomes
- 60% cost reduction through resource optimization and rightsizing
- 95% deployment reliability, up from a 70% manual success rate
- 5 minute deployments, down from 45 minutes with manual intervention
- Zero unplanned downtime for 6 months post implementation
