case studies
Kubernetes-as-a-Service with High Availability
Kubernetes is the obvious solution for building a cloud-native infrastructure. The client, a cloud provider, wanted a Kubernetes cluster management service that would provide the customer with a high level of quality and compete with other providers. At the time, there was an MVP of the service, but it was built in a hurry and did not have the necessary characteristics.
Geo-distributed Cloud Provider Infrastructure
The main assets of a cloud provider are managed services (IaaS, PaaS, FaaS, etc.) and a robust infrastructure that is resilient to both short-term problems and large-scale disasters.
While service development follows common processes, the design and implementation of cloud infrastructure require expertise in many related areas - data center equipment, resilient network infrastructure, redundancy to handle large-scale failures, multi-layered security, and compliance with standards and government regulations.
Cloud Migration of ETL Service
The client is a job search company that owns a large number of job boards. At a certain point, the company encountered a growth slowdown due to the complexity of administering its own infrastructure, as well as the inefficiency of the search engine used - ElasticSearch.
Importing data from partner systems was slow and unstable, and the search engine could not cope with the volume of data, while the consistency of search results suffered.
customer feedback
"Ilya is definitely the real deal. Was looking for a true, competent and experienced Cloud SW architect for a long time, someone who didn't just watch tons of webinars and read lots of white papers and articles that you cannot get anything concrete from, let alone finish a technical conversation without flying to lala land. Ilya is exactly the opposite of all that Jazz, brining actual knowledge, backed by experience, helping to guide the SW architecture and teams to the best solution."
"Working together with Ilya was a great pleasure. He’s very focused and committed, he works independently, is a quick learner and a great team player. He is very strong in the area of software development, but also there is a lot of potential for leadership and project management. His attitude towards work is perfect to be a successful professional."
