Go from monthly deploys with war rooms to daily deploys with rollback.
Your .NET platform ships monthly, incidents take hours to diagnose, and the AI roadmap is blocked because there’s no place to put new capabilities. We fix that in a fixed-scope sprint: containers, CI/CD, observability, and security hardening — with before/after metrics you can show the board.
.NET 8+, Azure App Service / Container Apps / AKS, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, Aspire.
What’s included
Architecture review
We assess your codebase, dependencies, hosting, and deployment pipeline. You get the shortest path to production-grade — with a clear cost/benefit for each recommendation.
Containerization
Docker builds, multi-stage images, health checks, and orchestration on Azure Container Apps or AKS. Right-sized for your traffic — not over-provisioned "just in case."
CI/CD pipeline
Build, test, lint, security scan, and deploy stages with zero-downtime rollouts. Most clients go from manual deploy scripts to automated pipelines in the first sprint.
Observability
OpenTelemetry tracing, structured logging, Application Insights dashboards, and alerting. Debug production issues in minutes, not hours. Typical MTTR reduction: 60–80%.
Infrastructure as Code
Bicep or Terraform for repeatable, version-controlled provisioning. No more "works on my machine" for infrastructure.
Security hardening
Managed identities, Key Vault integration, network isolation, and dependency vulnerability scanning. Pass your next security review without scrambling.
Why modernize now?
Your AI roadmap is blocked
You can’t bolt AI onto a monolith that deploys monthly and has no observability. Modernization unblocks the AI feature roadmap — and pays for itself in reliability gains within the first quarter.
Ship faster with less risk
Monthly releases with weekend war rooms become daily deploys with automated rollbacks. Less risk per deploy, faster feedback loops, and your team stops dreading release day.
See what you’re spending
Right-sized containers, auto-scaling, and resource tagging give you clear spend visibility by service, by environment. Most clients find 15–30% in immediate savings from right-sizing alone.

What we need from you
- • Source code access and a walkthrough of the current architecture
- • A staging or dev environment we can safely modify
- • A designated tech lead for architecture decisions and code reviews
- • Weekly 30-minute check-ins during the sprint
Security & guardrails your CISO will approve
Every AI system we ship includes these controls — in the first deploy, not a future phase.
Tool-call allowlists
The AI can only call tools you explicitly approve. Every external integration is registered with typed schemas — no unapproved operations, no unstructured side effects.
Schema-enforced outputs
Every response to a downstream system is validated against a JSON Schema before delivery. Malformed output is caught and logged, not silently propagated.
Eval suites in CI/CD
Regression tests, red-team prompts, and accuracy benchmarks run on every pull request. If eval scores drop below threshold, the merge is blocked.
Production observability
Latency P50/P95, token costs, error rates, and output drift — all in dashboards with configurable alerts. You see problems before users report them.
Human-in-the-loop gates
Configurable confidence thresholds route low-certainty decisions to a human reviewer before execution. The threshold is tunable without a code deploy.
Immutable audit trail
Every LLM call — inputs, outputs, token counts, tool invocations, cost, latency — is logged in an append-only store. Ready for compliance review or incident forensics.
Stop funding pilots that never ship.
