Architect-ledDevSecOps & Cloud consulting for platform leaders
Reduce delivery risk. Improve reliability. Ship secure platforms at enterprise scale.
Red Ruby partners with CTOs and platform teams to design, modernize, and operate cloud-native foundations — with security, automation, and observability built in from day one.
Security-first delivery
Zero-downtime migrations
SRE-grade operations
What you get in the first 2 weeks
A crisp architecture direction, a prioritized plan, and the guardrails to execute safely.
Platform assessment & risk map
Security control baseline
SLO/observability gaps identified
Migration path (if applicable)
Where initiatives break down
Cloud programs fail quietly—until reliability and cost become urgent
Most issues aren't tooling problems. They're architectural gaps: unclear ownership, missing guardrails, fragile delivery pipelines, and limited operational visibility.
Security bolted on
Controls added late create friction, rework, and audit risk.
Platform inconsistency
Every team solves the same baseline differently; variance grows.
No operational signal
Without SLOs and tracing, incidents become guesswork.
Migration risk
Cutovers slip because dependencies and rollback paths aren’t designed.
Capabilities
We deliver outcomes your platform org can measure
Not tool installs. Not dashboards. Outcomes: safer releases, faster migrations, lower toil, clearer ownership, and predictable operations.
Secure platform foundations
Landing zones, identity, network patterns, and guardrails that reduce variance across teams.
Delivery systems that scale
CI/CD + GitOps patterns with policy-as-code so releases stay fast without losing control.
Reliable Kubernetes platforms
Multi-tenant ops, progressive delivery, and operational runbooks that stand up in production.
Zero-downtime migration paths
Phased strategies with dependency mapping, rehearsals, and rollback design.
Observability with intent
Tracing, metrics, logs, and SLOs that drive better decisions—not just more charts.
Automation that removes toil
Reusable IaC modules and workflow automation to reduce manual work and risk.
Engagement model
A clear path from assessment to stable operations
We work like an extension of your platform team—bringing architecture, delivery, and operations together.
Step 1
Assess
Current-state review, risk and dependency mapping, platform maturity baseline.
Step 2
Design
Reference architectures, guardrails, operating model, and execution plan.
Step 3
Build
Implement foundations, pipelines, platform components, and migration waves.
Step 4
Operate
SLOs, incident response readiness, cost controls, and continuous improvement.
Technology
Tools are the means, not the strategy
We select and integrate proven building blocks that fit your org, constraints, and operating model.
AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI - landing zones, identity patterns, networking, and shared services.
Terraform/OpenTofu with reusable modules, policy guardrails, and pipeline-driven change.
Kubernetes and managed services (EKS/AKS/GKE/OKE), Helm/Kustomize, secure multi-tenant operations.
GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins/Azure DevOps with ArgoCD/Flux for declarative delivery.
OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Honeycomb — centered on SLOs.
IAM governance, secrets, network security, policy-as-code, compliance-aligned architectures.

How we work
Enterprise VMware → cloud migration
Challenge: Legacy workloads with tight change windows and high dependency complexity.
Approach: Wave-based migration plan, landing zone guardrails, and rehearsed cutovers with rollback design.
Outcome: Reduced cutover risk and established a repeatable migration factory for subsequent waves.
Multi-cloud Kubernetes platform
Challenge: Multiple teams shipping to inconsistent clusters with fragile delivery pipelines.
Approach: Standardized platform patterns, GitOps, multi-tenant controls, and SRE-aligned operations.
Outcome: Predictable releases, clearer ownership, and less operational variance across environments.
OpenTelemetry observability rollout
Challenge: Incidents required manual correlation across logs/metrics with low trace coverage.
Approach: Instrumentation strategy, collector topology, and SLO-driven alerting and dashboards.
Outcome: Faster triage and measurable reliability improvements driven by agreed service objectives.
Zero-downtime database migration
Challenge: Business-critical DB migration with no downtime tolerance and strict RPO/RTO expectations.
Approach: Replication-based migration, progressive cutover, and controlled rollback with rehearsals.
Outcome: Successful migration within change windows and a stronger long-term HA/DR posture.
Why Red Ruby
Architect-led delivery, built for platform reality
We optimize for durable systems: secure by default, observable, and operable by your teams—not dependent on us.
Architecture first
We start with constraints, operating model, and the patterns your org can sustain.
Security without theater
Pragmatic guardrails integrated into delivery—aligned to compliance expectations.
Reliability as a product
SLOs, incident readiness, and automation designed into platforms—not added later.
Migration discipline
Dependency mapping, rehearsals, and rollback design to reduce cutover risk.
Cost-aware engineering
FinOps-minded choices and automation to control runaway spend and waste.
Transferable outcomes
Documentation, runbooks, and enablement so your teams own the platform long-term.
Start with an architecture conversation
Planning a migration, Kubernetes modernization, or a platform reset? Let’s make it executable.
We’ll align on constraints, identify risk, and leave you with a clear plan — whether you engage us or not.
