Productionize Your SystemAndrew Steffey
I help companies productionize their systems — making them faster, more reliable, and more cost-effective. At Amazon Prime Video, I optimized tier-1 services handling 200M+ users at massive scale — cutting costs 76%, improving uptime to 99.9999%, and increasing throughput 3X.
Common work includes production-readiness assessments, cost optimization, reliability improvements, performance tuning, actionable monitoring with dashboards and runbooks, and improving code maintainability through meaningful tests, CI/CD, and clean architecture practices. You get hands-on fixes with measured results — not just recommendations.
Who this is for:
Companies preparing for launch or rapid growth
Teams dealing with rising infrastructure costs
Organizations experiencing reliability or performance issues
Businesses needing production readiness before scale
My approach:
Deep technical investigation to identify root causes
Prototype and test improvements to validate results before rolling out production changes
Deliver working code with proper documentation
Measured results — not guesswork
Everything is tailored to your actual needs and constraints — we only implement what meaningfully improves reliability, performance, and cost
Technology: Java/Kotlin/JVM primary, but can also work across different tech stacks (Python, Node, React, etc.)
What's included
System Assessment Report
A comprehensive analysis identifying performance bottlenecks, reliability risks, cost optimization opportunities, and production-readiness gaps — with prioritized, actionable recommendations based on your real scale and business needs.
Hands-On Implementation
Working code fixes for critical issues including proper error handling, optimized resource usage, performance tuning, and reliability hardening — implemented safely and tailored to your system.
Load Testing & Validation
Performance and scale testing with before/after metrics to demonstrate real-world improvements in speed, reliability, and cost efficiency.
Observability, Monitoring & Incident Readiness
Implementation of meaningful logging, metrics, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks so your team can detect issues early and troubleshoot quickly.
Technical Documentation & Handoff
Clear documentation of changes, architecture decisions, operational guidance, and on-call procedures, plus knowledge-transfer sessions to ensure your team is fully equipped going forward.
