- Right-size and optimise infrastructure for cost without compromising reliability.
- Maintain environment parity across dev, staging, and production.
- CI/CD Pipelines
- Build, maintain, and continuously improveCI/CD pipelines acrossall services supporting a daily release cadence.
- Manage deployment triggering across multiple AWS availability zones;handle traffic routingbetween zones including manual intervention when required.
- Ensure fast, reliable, and safe deployments with rollback capabilities and pre/post-release health checks.
