What if your traffic 3x'ed overnight?
Maybe your get on the frontpage of Reddit, HackerNews, or ProductHunt. Could your app handle it?
Be honest with yourself, pinocchio.
What would fail first? If you've been banging away at code for the past 6 months, you're probably not even sure. What parts of your infrastructure are SPOFs (Single Points of Failure)? Do you know exactly where your blind spots are?
If you don't have autoscaling or a pile of extra hardware laying around (read: burning investors money), you're probably screwed anyways. Will your users have graceful degredation of functionality or annoying timeouts and unprofessional 502 Bad Gateway errors?
Can your code and infrastructure meet the demanding needs of your business?
Together, we'll build a custom 3x, 5x, and 10x plan
I've scaled some of the largest PHP apps on the internet today. I was the CTO of Twitpic and scaled the app from 30K to over 50 million users and billions of HTTP requests with a small team and even smaller budget.
We'll work together to identify your major painpoints, single points of failure, and shortcomings of your architecture. After that, I'll work with you to design a custom 3x, 5x, and 10x plan to get you out of your dilemma.
Things I can help you with:
- Application architecture & tech stack
- Infrastructure layout (bare-metal or cloud)
- Your near-term Technology Roadmap
- Implementing security best practices
- Identifying and removing SPOFs
- Scaling your Database Infrastructure
- Bottlenecks in your code
- Process & making your team more effective
- Faster deployments
- Testing methodologies
Instead of hiring a (super expensive) full-time architect, let me fill those shoes, and provide technical leadership to you and your team.
