Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Default Approach: Our standard practice is to define the entire infrastructure as code using Terraform.
Do you currently use Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?*
If yes, which tool(s) do you use?

TerraformCloudFormationOther
Which type of Git do you use?

GitlabGithubBitbucketOther
Multi-Environment Setup

Default Approach: We provision two environments—Development (Dev) and Production (Prod).
Do you operate or require multiple environments (e.g., Dev, Staging, Prod)?*
Networking (VPC)

Default Approach: We create an isolated VPC for each environment.
Do you use a dedicated VPC instead of the default one?*
If you maintain multiple environments, do you require connectivity between them (e.g., Dev VPC to Prod VPC)?*
Do you require custom subnet configurations and routing policies?*
Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

Default Approach: We deploy all essential Kubernetes (K8s) components, including networking, storage, monitoring, logging, scaling tools, certificate management, secret management, NGINX ingress controller (AWS network load balancer), and FluxCD.
Which additional services or tools do you need installed in your Kubernetes cluster?

RedisRabbitMQGitLab RunnerSonarQubeOther
Database Setup

Default Approach: We use Amazon RDS Serverless v2 with Aurora PostgreSQL.
Which database are you currently using?

MySQLPostgreSQLDynamoDBOther
Monitoring, Alerting, and Logging

Default Setup: We implement the Prometheus-Grafana-Loki stack for Kubernetes and AWS CloudWatch for cloud services.
Do you currently use infrastructure monitoring tools?*
Security & Access Control

Default Approach:

- We create a dedicated AWS service user for Terraform management.

- We define three AWS user groups:
Admin: Full read/write access to AWS.
Read-Only: Read-only access to AWS resources.
Service Accounts: only for listing services, permissions are provided separated for each service account

- We define two Kubernetes (K8s) user groups:
Admin: Full read/write access to Kubernetes.
Read-Only: Read-only access to Kubernetes.

- We implement security groups (SGs) for every service and restrict public access.
Do you need additional security configurations?*
Secret Management

Default Approach: We use AWS Secrets Manager to securely store sensitive information and manage variables via the External Secrets Operator in Kubernetes.

Root database passwords are securely stored and rotated.
Do you need to migrate existing secrets to AWS Secrets Manager for Kubernetes integration?*
Caching Solutions

Default Approach: We set up Amazon ElastiCache (Redis Cluster).
Do you require caching for high-performance applications?*
Which caching solution do you prefer?

RedisMemcachedAmazon ElastiCache
Documentation

Default Approach:

We provide the following documentation:
- General infrastructure overview
- Questionnaire
- Installing and connecting to AWS CLI
- Setting up and working with Terraform
- Setting up kubectl and connecting to Kubernetes
- Working with Kubernetes (basic knowledge)
- Working with FluxCD
- CI/CD approach overview
- GitHub Flow best practices
- Notification flow (during the support period)
- Disaster recovery plan (only for the infrastructure we set up)
- Connecting to the database
- Connecting to ElastiCache
- Using AWS Secrets Manager and External Secrets Operator in Kubernetes
- Working with monitoring tools (Grafana-Prometheus-Loki)
- Describing applications (base knowledge with an example)
- Using LENS (Kubernetes management tool)
Do you require any additional documentation?*
Ongoing Maintenance & Support (1 month for FREE)

- Provide technical maintenance, system monitoring, and troubleshooting as needed.
- Perform updates and patches to ensure system security and efficiency.
