DevOps & Cloud

DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure

We don't just advise on DevOps — we deploy our own products daily. CogniGraph, IronFlow, and IronCrew ship as single Rust binaries. PLU Finder runs across 4 domains with managed databases. This website is Bun SSR. When we architect your infrastructure, the patterns come from operating our own.

How We Deploy Our Products

Real deployment patterns from our own production infrastructure.

Single Binary Deployment

Rust tools — zero dependencies

CogniGraph, IronFlow, IronCrew, Cognitive-OCR, and CogniGraph Chunker all compile to a single binary with no runtime dependencies. Deploy to Linux, macOS, edge servers, or air-gapped environments. No Docker required — though we provide Dockerfiles when containerization adds value.

Edge & Serverless

Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, Railway

PLU Finder's static assets on Cloudflare Pages, API functions on Workers. Railway for fast service deployment with automatic scaling. Netlify Functions for git-deployed serverless endpoints. We pick the platform that minimizes operational overhead for the workload.

Database Infrastructure

ArangoDB clusters, S3 Vectors, SQLite

ArangoDB in clustered production deployments for CogniGraph and PLU Finder. S3 Vectors for RAG pipeline storage via IronFlow. CozoDB for embedded zero-config deployments. SQLite for lightweight IronFlow workflows. We manage what we deploy.

Cloud Platforms

We're opinionated about where to deploy — and honest about when each makes sense.

Cloudflare

Our default for edge and web

Workers for serverless functions, Pages for static sites, R2 for S3-compatible storage, D1 for edge SQLite, Workers AI for inference. Sub-millisecond cold starts across 300+ locations. Where we start for most web-facing workloads.

AWS

When you need the full ecosystem

EC2, Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, and the rest. IronFlow's S3 nodes integrate natively with AWS storage and S3 Vectors. We use AWS when the project needs services Cloudflare doesn't offer — managed Kubernetes, GPU instances, or deep AWS-native integrations.

Azure & Others

Enterprise and multi-cloud

Azure DevOps, AKS, Functions, and Cognitive Services for Microsoft-aligned enterprises. Oracle Cloud for specific enterprise workloads. We architect multi-cloud when the business requires it — not for its own sake.

CI/CD & Pipeline Automation

From code push to production — automated, repeatable, auditable.

GitHub Actions

Custom Docker-backed workflows for complex builds
Matrix builds for multi-platform testing
Cron-scheduled tasks and automation
Reusable actions across repositories

Containers & Orchestration

Docker for development and production
Kubernetes for container orchestration at scale
Helm for package management
Docker Compose for local multi-service stacks

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform for multi-cloud provisioning
Pulumi for IaC with real programming languages
ArgoCD and Flux for GitOps delivery to Kubernetes
Taskfile for local and CI task automation

IronFlow for Pipelines

DAG-based workflow automation in a single binary
Shell commands, HTTP calls, file operations
S3 operations, database queries, notifications
Runs in CI/CD or standalone — no dependencies

Observability & Security

You can't operate what you can't see. You can't ship what isn't secure.

Monitoring & Observability

Prometheus for metrics collection and alerting
Grafana for dashboards and visualization
ELK Stack for centralized logging
Jaeger for distributed tracing

Security & Compliance

Security scanning in CI/CD pipelines
Container image vulnerability scanning
Secrets management and rotation
GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 infrastructure

Proven Track Record

20+ years of infrastructure experience across enterprise and startup.
