PILLAR 2
AWS, EKS, Terraform — without a full-time DevOps hire.
Fractional DevOps for SaaS startups and scaleups. We build, migrate, and maintain AWS infrastructure for teams that aren’t ready to hire a senior DevOps engineer yet.
PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Three things our clients hire us to fix.
Your AWS bill keeps growing.
RDS instances over-provisioned, idle EC2s, S3 lifecycle gaps, no Reserved Instances. We audit, right-size, and ship Terraform that prevents the regression.
Your deployment takes 4 hours.
Manual SSH, brittle scripts, no rollback path. We migrate to GitHub Actions + ArgoCD with proper staging and one-click rollback. Deploys in under 15 minutes.
Your Canadian users can't reach your servers.
We've fixed this exact bug — IPv6 routing, Route 53 AAAA records, regional CDN gaps. Real war story we can tell on the call.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Infrastructure work we ship.
From a one-week audit to a full multi-tenant SaaS platform on EKS — capabilities we deliver for SaaS founders.
- AWS account setup, IAM, billing alerts, multi-account organization
- EKS / Kubernetes cluster setup with ArgoCD GitOps
- Terraform infrastructure-as-code (account-wide, repeatable, reviewed in PRs)
- GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / CircleCI pipelines with proper staging
- Database migrations: self-hosted → RDS, RDS → Aurora, MongoDB → DocumentDB
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture (the Novagems playbook)
- Observability: CloudWatch, Grafana, Loki, Sentry, PagerDuty
- Cost optimization: Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, S3 lifecycle, RDS right-sizing
- Disaster recovery + backup automation

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions from SaaS founders and CTOs
Veekunth holds AWS partner status and the team has shipped multi-tenant SaaS on EKS at production scale (Novagems). Certifications are useful signals but the real proof is in the production deployments — happy to walk you through the Novagems infrastructure on a call.
Yes. We’ve moved teams off Heroku Postgres → Aurora, Render → EKS, and Vercel-only setups to hybrid Vercel-frontend + AWS-backend architectures. Quote depends on data volume and downtime tolerance.
Both, depending on team stage. If you’re at less than 3 services and a single team, we usually recommend ECS Fargate or Compose. If you’re multi-tenant or multi-team, we move to EKS with ArgoCD.
We’ve built HIPAA-adjacent infrastructure (Arrellio EHR integration) and SOC 2-prep stacks. We don’t sign as your auditor, but we ship the technical controls (encryption at rest, audit logs, IAM with least privilege, backup automation) that pass audits.
On retainers above $5K/mo, we provide business-hours-of-the-client on-call coverage with PagerDuty integration. 24×7 coverage is available at higher tiers but most early-stage clients don’t need it.

30-minute call. No sales pitch. We audit, give you a real-numbers cost-saving estimate, and write a fixed quote within 3 working days.
