Availability targets that are disconnected from budget and team capacity.
Cloud Architecture
Plan cloud infrastructure for realistic demand, recovery objectives, and team capacity. Architecture decisions cover where workloads run, how they connect, and how failures are detected.
Focus area
Define availability and recovery needs
Focus area
Choose workload and data patterns
Focus area
Review access, scaling, and observability
Primary output
Architecture decision record
Teams weighing cloud designs against operating constraints
For engineering leaders choosing how applications, data, and operational responsibilities should fit together in a cloud environment.
- Architecture decision record
- Deployment topology
- Implementation priorities
Problems to address
Scaling and recovery assumptions that have never been exercised.
Treat identity, network boundaries, failure domains, and backups as connected design decisions. Recovery objectives should be agreed and tested; they are not uptime guarantees.
How We Work
- 01
Discovery & Research
Define workload characteristics, data constraints, recovery needs, and operational ownership.
- 02
Architecture & Design
Evaluate deployment and data patterns with their reliability and cost tradeoffs.
- 03
Iterative Development
Specify workload topology, networking, access, and deployment boundaries in architecture decisions.
- 04
Testing & QA
Review capacity assumptions, failure scenarios, and recovery objectives with workload owners.
- 05
Launch & Optimize
Maintain architecture decisions and revisit them when demand or operating constraints change.
Technologies We Master
Candidate technologies and tools for cloud architecture. The final selection follows discovery, existing systems, and agreed operating requirements.
- AWSCloud
- AzureCloud
- TerraformInfrastructure
- DockerContainers
- CloudWatchObservability
Security Built Around This Service
Each engagement is shaped around the risks, data flows, access patterns, and operational realities of cloud architecture.
Strong Domain Knowledge
Scope covers cloud architecture in the context of existing systems, user responsibilities, and operational constraints. For engineering leaders choosing how applications, data, and operational responsibilities should fit together in a cloud environment.
Security Controls Built In
Address poorly defined recovery needs and unsuitable workload placement through explicit access boundaries, review checkpoints, and verification criteria.
Business-Aligned Protection
Review capacity assumptions, failure scenarios, and recovery objectives with workload owners.
Operational Readiness
Maintain architecture decisions and revisit them when demand or operating constraints change.

Cloudflare Workers and Pages Have No Per-Resource Access Control — And There Is No Real Workaround
A first-hand account of hitting Cloudflare's structural RBAC gap: there is no way to scope a member role or API token to a single Worker or Pages project. This post documents the problem precisely, what the community is doing to work around it, why those workarounds fall short, and what Cloudflare needs to build.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need multiple cloud providers?
Only when the requirements justify the added operational complexity. Provider choice should follow a concrete business or technical need.
Can architecture be reviewed without a migration?
Yes. A review can identify decisions and risks while leaving implementation to a separately agreed scope.
