Infrastructure Scaling + Stabilization

Contrary to popular belief, scalability is not a simple box to check. It’s an ongoing task, and it’s never complete.

The answer to the question of scalability is can only be found by knowing the context: what’s your next growth phase—reaching 100 users, 100,000 or 1,000,000? What are the usage and load patterns? What are the workloads?

Perhaps most importantly, what’s your infrastructure budget, and your team’s capacity to maintain it?

These questions must be answered and re-answered regularly if you want to keep your stack scalable. If you don’t address scalability, your software will exhibit erratic behavior, random issues and cascading failures that result in downtime. But if you optimize too early, you’ll pay for infrastructure before you need to, and you may optimize the wrong things.

I'll conduct a thorough review of your infrastructure and code performance. I’ll find the root causes of cascading failures, document the areas where optimization is the most beneficial, and the infrastructure and code adjustments to get your application stable.
