AVAILABLE FOR NEW ENGAGEMENTS

Infrastructure that runs itself,
so your team doesn't have to.

AK Cloud is a DevOps-as-a-Service practice for startups and product teams. We design, automate, and operate your infrastructure across AWS, Azure & GCP — from first deploy to 3am pages that never come.

What we do

Pick a problem. We own the fix.

Six ways we take infrastructure off your plate — from a single audit to fully managed operations, so your engineers ship product instead of firefighting servers.

Multi-Cloud Architecture

Environments designed for the traffic you'll actually get — not a diagram that only survives the pitch deck. AWS, Azure, or GCP, whichever fits your stack.

AWSAzureGCPVPCRDS

Kubernetes & Containers

Production-grade EKS clusters with autoscaling, resource limits, and rollout strategies that don't wake anyone up.

EKSDockerHelm

CI/CD Automation

Push-to-deploy pipelines with tests, approvals, and rollback built in from day one, not bolted on after an incident.

GitHub ActionsJenkinsGitLab CI

Infrastructure as Code

Every resource in version control. No console clicks, no "who changed this" — just a diff and a plan.

TerraformCloudFormationAnsible

Observability & Monitoring

Dashboards and alerts tuned to signal, not noise — so the pager only rings for things worth waking up for.

Security & Reliability

Hardened networking, least-privilege IAM, and incident runbooks written before you need them, not during.

Under the hood

What a request actually touches.

Not a slide-deck box diagram — this is the real path traffic takes in production, plus the pipeline that ships changes and the loop that watches it all.

Compute path — where the request actually runs

Delivery path — how a merged PR reaches production

Feedback path — how we know it's healthy at 3am

The process

Four steps, in order. No shortcuts.

The same sequence every time — because the fastest fixes are the ones that don't come back as an outage two weeks later.

Assess

We audit your current infrastructure, pipelines, and incident history to find what's fragile before it fails on its own.

Architect

We design the target state — network, compute, and deployment model — sized for your real traffic and budget.

Automate

We codify it: Terraform for infrastructure, CI/CD for delivery, so every future change is a reviewed diff, not a live edit.

Operate

We stay on as your on-call DevOps partner — watching dashboards, tuning alerts, and handling the pages so you don't have to.

Proof, not promises

Shipped. Running. Still up.

Real systems in production right now — under real traffic, on the same stack we'd build for you.

0ms

downtime on release

Boss of the World

Game backend

ChallengePlayer counts spike without warning during live events — the old single-server setup needed a human to scale it in time.

ApproachMoved to EKS with horizontal pod autoscaling wired to real player-count metrics, plus blue/green rollouts for releases.

ResultReleases ship with 0ms downtime, and peak-hour spikes scale themselves — no on-call page required.

Buyss Pass

Marketplace platform

ChallengeA monolithic marketplace meant one risky deploy could take down checkout, listings, and search all at once.

ApproachSplit the platform into 15+ independently deployed microservices, each with its own pipeline and scaling policy.

ResultTeams ship to one service without touching the rest, and a bad deploy stays contained to its own container.

concurrency spikes absorbed

Dominos

Multiplayer backend

ChallengeSessions can 10x in seconds when a match goes viral, and cold-started pods were too slow to keep up with the rush.

ApproachPre-warmed node pools and tuned load-balancer health checks so Kubernetes absorbs the spike before players feel any lag.

Result10x concurrency spikes absorbed with no dropped connections and no manual scaling.

Wagmi

Hybrid compute

ChallengeSteady baseline traffic and unpredictable bursts don't fit one compute model — over-provisioning either wastes budget or under-serves peaks.

ApproachRouted workloads by shape: EKS handles the steady state, Lambda absorbs the bursts, sized and deployed with Terraform.

ResultRight compute for every workload shape, without paying full-cluster prices for burst capacity.

How we operate

When something breaks, here's what happens.

No vague "we'll get to it" — a defined response time for every severity, and a standing list of what gets done every month whether anything breaks or not.

Sev 1 — Production down

< 15 min

to acknowledge & engage

Site or API is down, data is at risk

Paged immediately. We're in your infra within minutes, not waiting for a stand-up.

Sev 2 — Degraded

< 1 hr

to acknowledge, same-day fix

Slow responses, partial outage, failing job

Not everyone's blocked, but it's getting worse. Triaged same day, fixed before it becomes a Sev 1.

Sev 3 — Improvement

Next sprint

scheduled, not forgotten

Cost, performance, or hardening work

Nothing's on fire. It goes into the backlog and gets shipped on the regular cadence, not "someday."

Every month, whether or not anything breaks

Patch & CVE reviewEvery node and container image checked against current CVEs, patched on a schedule — not after an audit finds it.

Cost auditIdle instances, oversized nodes, and orphaned volumes flagged with a rightsizing recommendation attached.

Backup restore drillBackups get tested by actually restoring them — a backup nobody's restored is just a hope.

Access reviewWho has prod access, why they still need it, and whether least-privilege still holds.
