Cloud & Serverless Architecture

Enterprise AWS infrastructure defined end to end as infrastructure as code: event-driven microservices and cost-optimized serverless designs that stay 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 delivers principal-level software engineering, cloud architecture, and technical advisory for organizations building mission-critical systems. Based in the Greater Denver Area, we serve clients nationally through remote engagements and on-site executive briefings.

Founded on high-throughput design principles and hands-on technical leadership, we help teams solve complex distributed computing challenges and modernize core cloud infrastructure on AWS. Every engagement is led 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.
