LLM Deployment Patterns for Enterprise: What Actually Works in Production
Deploying large language models in enterprise environments is fundamentally different from running demos. After shipping 15+ LLM-powered applications in the past 18 months, here's what we've learned about latency, cost, reliability, and the patterns that separate production-grade deployments from prototypes.
Implementing Zero Trust Architecture in Healthcare: A Practical Guide
Healthcare organizations face a unique security challenge: they must protect highly sensitive patient data while enabling seamless access for clinical staff across dozens of systems. This guide walks through how we've implemented Zero Trust architecture for health systems without disrupting clinical workflows.
React Server Components in Enterprise Applications: Lessons from the Trenches
React Server Components promise faster page loads and simpler data fetching — but adopting them in large enterprise codebases comes with real complexity. Here's what we've learned after migrating three production applications.
Why Every Engineering Team Over 20 People Needs an Internal Developer Platform
Developer experience is a competitive advantage. Teams that invest in internal developer platforms ship faster, have lower cognitive load, and retain engineers longer. Here's the business case — and a practical roadmap for building one.
The Legacy Modernization Playbook: How to Retire a 20-Year-Old System Without a Big Bang
Big-bang legacy replacements fail more often than they succeed. After helping dozens of enterprises modernize aging systems, we've developed a strangler fig approach that reduces risk, maintains business continuity, and delivers value incrementally.
Feature Stores in 2026: When You Need One and How to Build It Right
Feature stores have gone from cutting-edge to table stakes for mature ML platforms. But many teams build them too early — or too late. This post covers the signals that tell you it's time, and the architecture patterns that scale.
AWS Multi-Account Strategy: The Architecture That Scales from Startup to Enterprise
A single AWS account is fine when you're starting out. But as your organization grows, a well-designed multi-account strategy becomes essential for security, cost visibility, and operational isolation. Here's the architecture we recommend — and why.
API Security in 2026: Addressing the OWASP API Top 10 in Modern Microservices
APIs are the attack surface of modern applications. With microservices architectures exposing hundreds of internal and external endpoints, API security has never been more critical — or more complex. Here's how we approach it.
PostgreSQL at Scale: Query Optimization Techniques That Actually Move the Needle
PostgreSQL can handle enormous workloads — if you know how to tune it. This post covers the query optimization techniques, indexing strategies, and configuration changes that have had the biggest impact on production performance across our client engagements.
GitOps with ArgoCD: Moving Beyond the Basics in Enterprise Environments
Most GitOps tutorials cover the happy path. Enterprise environments are messier — multi-cluster deployments, complex RBAC, secrets management, and compliance requirements. Here's how we handle the hard parts.
Technology Due Diligence for M&A: What Acquirers Miss and How to Find It
Technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and architectural landmines can turn a promising acquisition into a costly mistake. After conducting 30+ technology due diligence engagements, here's what we look for — and what most acquirers overlook.
