Q1 Recap

From Fragile Ops → Scalable Infrastructure

  • Migrated to managed Kubernetes
  • Adopted high-availability PostgreSQL
  • Automated deploys with CI/CD
  • Built centralized monitoring & alerting

Impact

  • 3× faster system performance
  • 99.99% uptime
  • Deploys in minutes (not hours)
  • Zero production incidents

Challenges We Faced

  • Legacy code slowed modernization
  • Tooling adoption required cultural alignment
  • Visibility into systems was previously limited

Q2 Priorities

Laying the foundation for product velocity at scale

  • Finalize frontend and backend modularization
  • Reduce infrastructure cost while improving elasticity
  • Prepare systems and teams for parallel feature delivery

Team Expansion Strategy

  • Hiring: 3 Backend, 3 Frontend, 2 DevOps, 1 Android
  • Focus: senior engineers who can scope and ship independently
  • Goal: support concurrent product streams with fewer bottlenecks

Risk Management

  • Hiring pipeline already active
  • Legacy systems isolated behind APIs
  • Architectural boundaries enforced to avoid scope creep
