PoC → Production

Ready to Go Live?

You've built a promising Proof of Concept and the pressure is on to ship. But is it ready for real users? We specialize in transforming innovative PoCs into robust, production-grade systems, ensuring you launch with confidence.

Who is this for?

• Startups: You have a working PoC but need to ensure it's secure, scalable, and reliable before going to market.
• Product Teams: You're under pressure to ship to real users, but your PoC isn't production-safe.
• CTOs: You want to empower your team to innovate, but don't want PoC authors designing infrastructure at scale.

Does this sound familiar?

Many PoCs start as a single VM or laptop deployment, with no Infrastructure as Code (IaC), no CI/CD pipeline, and a non-existent security or backup strategy. It's a 'we'll fix it later' situation that can lead to costly downtime and security vulnerabilities.

Our Process

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): For repeatable, automated deployments.
• CI/CD Pipelines: To accelerate your development lifecycle.
• Observability: So you can monitor your system's health and performance.
• Security & Backups: To protect your data and your users.

Timeline (Simple Project)

4–6 weeks end-to-end

• Discovery & Production Gap Analysis: 3–5 days
• Architecture & Production Design: 4–6 days
• Infra & Platform Foundation: 1.5–2 weeks
• CI/CD, Observability, Runbooks: 1–1.5 weeks
• Hardening, Handover & Go-Live: 3–5 days

What You Get (Deliverables)

No vague “consulting slides” — this ends with something running.

• Production-ready cloud architecture
• Infrastructure-as-Code baseline
• CI/CD pipelines
• Observability (metrics, logs, alerts)
• Security & access model
• Runbooks & operational ownership model
• Clear production handover

Step-by-Step Delivery

Our delivery process is transparent and structured to ensure a smooth transition from PoC to production.

1. PoC Reality Check (Week 1)

Goal: Identify what will break in production.

• Activities: Review PoC architecture & code assumptions, Identify SPOFs, scaling risks, security gaps, Define non-functional requirements.
• Outputs: Production Gap Report, Risk-ranked backlog, Target SLA/SLOs

2. Production Architecture Design

Goal: Design just enough production, not overengineering.

• Activities: Choose runtime model (VMs / containers / serverless), Define environments (dev / staging / prod), Networking & security boundaries, Cost-aware scaling model.
• Outputs: Architecture diagrams, Infra decision log, Cost & reliability trade-offs documented

3. Platform & Infrastructure Foundation

Goal: Make infra reproducible and boring.

• Activities: Cloud accounts & IAM baseline, Terraform (or equivalent) setup, Networking, compute, storage, Secrets & configuration management.
• Outputs: IaC repository, Reproducible environments, Deployment-ready foundation

4. CI/CD & Operational Tooling

Goal: Safe, repeatable releases.

• Activities: Build & deploy pipelines, Rollback strategy, Environment promotion, Basic policy enforcement.
• Outputs: CI/CD pipelines, Deployment documentation, Release checklist

5. Observability & RunOps

Goal: Know when things break — and why.

• Activities: Metrics, logs, traces, Golden signals defined, Alerts aligned to SLOs, Runbook templates.
• Outputs: Dashboards, Alerting rules, Incident response runbooks

6. Production Hardening & Go-Live

Goal: Avoid the first “we shipped and everything is on fire” moment.

• Activities: Load & failure testing, Backup & recovery verification, Security review, Knowledge transfer.
• Outputs: Production sign-off checklist, Go-live support window, Ownership handover
