EC2 to EKS Migration
Migration of legacy Java-based microservices from EC2 instances to Amazon EKS. Designed Helm charts for standardized deployments, implemented horizontal pod autoscaling, and achieved zero-downtime migration with blue-green deployment strategy.
Serverless Infrastructure Framework
Architected and built a custom serverless framework on AWS using Terraform modules. Orchestrated Lambda functions, API Gateway, RDS, S3, and SQS to create event-driven architectures with auto-scaling capabilities and cost-optimized compute resources.
CI/CD Pipeline Transformation
Modernized legacy Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions workflows, reducing deployment time from hours to minutes. Implemented automated testing, and multi-environment deployments with approval gates. Integrated Slack notifications for real-time deployment visibility across development teams.
Unified Observability Platform
Built comprehensive monitoring solution using Prometheus and Grafana for Kubernetes pod metrics and cluster health. Implemented Datadog for serverless Lambda functions and Apache Airflow DAG monitoring with custom dashboards, log aggregation, and intelligent alerting.
Serverless Jenkins on AWS Fargate
Transformed standalone Jenkins infrastructure into a fully serverless, cost-optimized CI/CD platform using AWS ECS Fargate. Migrated build agents to on-demand Fargate tasks, eliminating idle server costs and achieving 70% infrastructure cost reduction. Implemented auto-scaling build capacity with dynamic agent provisioning, significantly reducing build queue times and improving developer productivity.
AWS Security & Compliance Automation
Designed and implemented enterprise-grade AWS security compliance framework leveraging AWS Config rules, CIS Benchmark standards, and AWS Security Hub for continuous compliance monitoring. Automated security assessments with custom Config rules, and established real-time compliance dashboards with automated remediation workflows for security violations.
