- Improve logging, monitoring, and observability
- Increase developer deployment speed and environment reliability
- Reduce operational risk and improve long-term scalability
Current Stack
- AWS (multi-environment: dev / staging / production)
- Kubernetes (EKS)
- Docker
- CI/CD pipelines (existing but need improvement)
- Mix of manual infra + partial automation
Scope of Work
- Infrastructure Modernization
- Audit AWS resources for EOL components and version drift
- Upgrade Kubernetes versions safely

- Implement remote state management best practices
- Logging & Observability
- Improve centralized logging (CloudWatch / Loki / etc.)
- Implement structured logging standards
- Improve alerting strategy
- Reduce noise and increase signal clarity
- Dev Efficiency
