Container Orchestration & Cloud Infrastructure
The Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD foundation behind how we deploy and scale production systems
About this project
Every product in this portfolio runs on infrastructure, and that infrastructure is engineering work in its own right, not an afterthought bolted on after launch. TieTech designs and operates containerized, cloud-native systems: services packaged as containers and orchestrated on Kubernetes, autoscaling based on real load instead of fixed instance counts, and every environment staging, production, and everything in between defined as Terraform code instead of clicked together by hand in a cloud console. That last part matters more than it sounds: infrastructure as code means a new environment is reproducible in minutes, a misconfiguration is a reviewable pull request instead of a 2am mystery, and disaster recovery is a plan that's actually been tested, not a hope. This is representative reference architecture from our DevOps and platform engineering practice, built to show how we approach cloud infrastructure as a discipline not a diagram from a specific client's production environment.
From Edge Traffic to Data Layer
A single diagram of how a typical production system is laid out end to end: a CDN and load balancer at the edge, a Kubernetes cluster running independently-scaling services behind a service mesh, and a data layer built for durability managed databases, object storage, message queues, and automated backups, all provisioned as code.
- CDN and load balancer at the edge, terminating TLS and health-checking upstream services
- Kubernetes-orchestrated services, each scaling independently based on real load
- Service mesh handling internal routing and mTLS between services
- Terraform-managed environments networking, clusters, and config reproducible from source
This architecture diagram is a representative reference design used to demonstrate our cloud infrastructure practice it is not a diagram of any specific client's live environment.
