The Challenge

Managing 200 microservices without losing engineers.

A hypergrowth startup was drowning in manual infrastructure ops. Every deployment was a 3-hour process involving 5 engineers. Downtime incidents were costing $40K per hour and on-call burnout was at its peak.

The Solution

GitOps-driven platform with self-healing Kubernetes clusters.

We introduced a GitOps workflow with ArgoCD, Terraform Cloud workspaces, and autoscaling Kubernetes node pools. A unified Prometheus + Grafana observability stack reduced MTTR from hours to single-digit minutes.

The Impact

Quantifiable improvements across technical and business metrics.

18min

Average deployment time, down from 3 hours.

−94%

Reduction in unplanned downtime incidents post-launch.

$2.1M

Annual infrastructure cost savings through right-sizing.

“Our engineers sleep at night now. That alone was worth the investment.”
