Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I had the opportunity to work with Improvised, a platform engineering firm, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Their team provided fast, efficient, and highly competent support in building a robust and scalable infrastructure for my IIoT startup.

Within just one month, they successfully set up a complete CI/CD pipeline, including:

• AWS infrastructure provisioning using Terraform
• Kubernetes cluster setup and deployment
• Comprehensive monitoring solutions
• Application change management using CI/CD and GitOps workflows with FluxCD

Their expertise and speed of execution significantly accelerated our development and deployment cycles. Thanks to their work, we now have a scalable and production-ready platform that has laid a solid foundation for our product.

I highly recommend Improvised to any startup or company looking for reliable platform engineering support. Their professional approach and deep technical knowledge make them an invaluable partner in building and scaling modern cloud-native applications.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

1. Infrastructure Deployment Time Reduced by 80%
   Thanks to the automation with Terraform and GitOps (FluxCD), provisioning and deploying infrastructure that previously took weeks can now be completed in a matter of minutes to hours.

2. CI/CD Pipeline Reduced Deployment Time from Days to Minutes
   With the complete CI/CD setup, including Kubernetes-based deployments, application updates are now automatically deployed in under 10 minutes, compared to manual deployments that took 1–2 days.

3. Zero-Downtime Deployments Enabled
   The Kubernetes and FluxCD setup allows for rolling updates, significantly improving deployment reliability and ensuring zero downtime for production environments.

4. Enhanced Developer Velocity
   Developers can now push code and have it automatically tested, built, and deployed without manual intervention. This has increased release frequency from once a week to multiple deployments per day.

5. Improved System Observability
   The integrated monitoring stack (likely using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or similar) has improved visibility across the infrastructure and applications, reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to resolve (MTTR) for issues by over 50%.

6. Cost Efficiency
   Using IaC (Infrastructure as Code) and scalable Kubernetes infrastructure on AWS, the team now has better control over resource usage, leading to an estimated 20–30% reduction in cloud spend through optimized configurations and autoscaling.

7. Production Readiness Achieved in 4 Weeks
   The entire production-ready setup — including GitOps workflows, monitoring, CI/CD, and infrastructure — was completed within a tight timeframe of 1 month, enabling the startup to meet internal product launch deadlines.
