Cloud architecture and engineering for systems that have to scale

Three ways to engage, each led by a principal engineer and grounded in production experience.

01 · cloud

Cloud & Serverless Architecture

Design and review of AWS platforms built on serverless and event-driven patterns, defined end to end as infrastructure as code, so environments are reproducible, auditable, and cost-aware from day one.

Event-driven serverless reference architecture A client request flows through an edge CDN and API gateway to a serverless function, which publishes to an event bus that feeds a queue and object storage. Everything except the client is defined as infrastructure as code. infrastructure as code client edge · cdn api gateway λ function event bus queue object store

About

Principal-level judgment, applied directly to your systems

Sage Bauer Technologies LLC is a software engineering and cloud architecture consultancy based in Castle Rock, Colorado. We partner with engineering leaders who need senior technical depth: designing a new platform, untangling a system that has outgrown its architecture, or adding principal-level leadership without a full-time hire.

Every engagement is led hands-on by a principal engineer. Recommendations come with the reasoning behind them, and the work is documented so your team owns it after we step away.

  • Architecture review

    A focused assessment of an existing system or proposed design, with a prioritized, written set of recommendations.

  • Embedded delivery

    Hands-on engineering alongside your team to build or modernize critical services and cloud infrastructure.

  • Fractional leadership

    Ongoing principal-architect and advisory support for technical strategy, roadmaps, and engineering standards.
