Design Principles
Every system is designed on top of these four principles.
Stateless First
We keep state in the data layer and design services to scale horizontally.
Observable by Default
We build logs, metrics, and traces to be monitored in a unified view from day one.
Recoverable
We assume failure and design automated recovery flows and backup policies together.
Cost-aware
We track performance and cost simultaneously and factor operational efficiency into our decisions.
8 areas,
30+ operational tools
We list only the technologies we actually run every day. Technologies under evaluation for adoption are marked separately.
Security and monitoring,
built into the design from the start
Authentication, authorization, audit logging, and encryption — we define them all early in every system's design.
Identity & Access
An authorization model based on OAuth2 / OIDC / RBAC, with SSO integration.
Audit Logging
Every operational action and data access preserved in an immutable log.
Encryption
Data encrypted both in transit and at rest, with automated key rotation.
Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of anomalies, error rates, and latency, with automatic alerts.
Incident Response
Automated rollback, recovery, and post-incident analysis flows when failures occur.
Compliance
Regular reviews aligned with standards for handling personal and payment data.
