Enterprise cloud infrastructure & systems engineering

Vortix Global Dynamics designs, migrates and operates the platforms that carry production traffic. Multi-region AWS and Azure topologies, Terraform-governed infrastructure, Kubernetes workload orchestration and latency budgets agreed in writing — delivered by engineers who stay on the pager after cutover.

Capabilities

Four practices, one accountable engineering team

Vortix takes on the parts of a platform that cannot be allowed to fail. Every engagement is scoped against measurable outcomes — latency budgets, recovery objectives, deployment frequency — and reviewed against them at close.

01

Cloud Architecture & Multi-Region Migration

Landing zones, network topology and staged migration of production estates onto AWS and Azure without a maintenance window.

  • Multi-account / multi-subscription landing zones with SCP and Azure Policy guardrails
  • VPC and VNet peering, Transit Gateway hub-and-spoke, private service endpoints
  • Blue/green and strangler-fig cutovers with documented rollback gates
  • Terraform and Bicep modules under version control with plan-review CI
AWS Azure Terraform Bicep
02

Automated DevOps & CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

Deployment pipelines that are reproducible, auditable and fast enough that engineers ship on the day they finish the work.

  • GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps and GitLab pipelines with signed, immutable artifacts
  • Kubernetes orchestration on EKS and AKS with GitOps reconciliation via Argo CD
  • Progressive delivery: canary analysis, automated rollback on SLO regression
  • Ephemeral preview environments provisioned per pull request and torn down on merge
Kubernetes Argo CD GitHub Actions
03

High-Availability Database & Messaging Infrastructure

Stateful systems designed for a defined RPO and RTO, then proven against those numbers in scheduled failover exercises.

  • PostgreSQL and MySQL clusters with synchronous replicas and automated failover
  • Kafka, RabbitMQ and managed queue topologies sized to measured throughput
  • Point-in-time recovery with restore drills executed and documented quarterly
  • Connection pooling, read-replica routing and query-plan regression review
PostgreSQL Kafka Redis
04

24/7 Real-Time Observability & Threat Monitoring

Instrumentation, SLO definitions and an on-call rotation staffed by the engineers who built the platform.

  • OpenTelemetry tracing, RED/USE dashboards and error-budget alerting
  • Centralised log pipelines with retention aligned to audit obligations
  • Zero-trust network access (ZTNA), least-privilege IAM review and secret rotation
  • SOC 2-aligned control posture with evidence collection automated at source
OpenTelemetry Grafana ZTNA

Reference architecture

Zero-trust by construction, not by policy document

Every Vortix build starts from the same premise: the network is hostile, credentials are short-lived, and no workload is trusted because of where it sits. The topology below is the baseline we harden client platforms against.

  1. 01 Untrusted

    Client & Edge

    • Anycast CDN, WAF rulesets
    • TLS 1.3 termination
    • Bot and L7 rate limiting
    TLS 1.3

    — TRUST BOUNDARY —

  2. 02 Enforcement

    Ingress & Policy Enforcement

    • ZTNA broker, no implicit trust
    • mTLS between every hop
    • Short-lived scoped tokens
    mTLS + signed JWT
  3. 03 Private

    Private Compute

    • EKS / AKS, zero public ingress
    • Per-workload IAM roles
    • Egress through inspected NAT
    Private endpoint
  4. 04 Private

    Data & State

    • Private link only, no public route
    • KMS envelope encryption
    • PITR with quarterly restore drills

TELEMETRY PLANE

OpenTelemetry traces, structured logs, RED/USE metrics and error-budget burn alerts span every tier above, routed to a 24/7 on-call rotation staffed by the engineers who built the platform.

Engagement model

A fixed sequence, with an exit at every gate

Clients are not asked to commit to a multi-quarter programme on day one. Each phase produces a standalone artefact of value, and the engagement can conclude at the end of any of them.

  1. 01 1–2 weeks

    Discovery

    A structured audit of the existing estate: account topology, IAM posture, dependency graph, deployment path and current failure modes.

    Deliverable

    Written findings report with a prioritised risk register

  2. 02 2–4 weeks

    Architecture

    Target-state design with explicit trade-offs, cost modelling per environment, and recovery objectives agreed in writing before any build begins.

    Deliverable

    Reference architecture, RPO/RTO targets, migration runbook

  3. 03 4–16 weeks

    Deployment

    Staged implementation behind feature gates. Infrastructure lands as reviewed Terraform, workloads cut over incrementally, rollback tested at every gate.

    Deliverable

    Provisioned environments, CI/CD pipelines, cutover evidence

  4. 04 Ongoing

    SLA Support

    Continuous operation under a signed service level agreement — monitoring, patch cadence, capacity review and incident response with defined response times.

    Deliverable

    On-call coverage, monthly service review, quarterly DR drill

Service level commitments

Response targets under a signed SLA

Severity is assigned by production impact, not by the reporter. Targets below apply to clients under a retained support agreement; project engagements operate under business-hours coverage.

Incident severity definitions with acknowledgement, update cadence and coverage window
Severity Definition Acknowledgement Updates Coverage
Sev-1 Complete loss of a production service or confirmed data-integrity risk 15 minutes Every 30 minutes 24 / 7 / 365
Sev-2 Major functional degradation or breach of an agreed latency budget 1 hour Every 2 hours 24 / 7 / 365
Sev-3 Partial impairment with a documented workaround in place 4 business hours Daily Business hours
Sev-4 Scheduled change request, advisory question or planned maintenance 1 business day On progress Business hours

Incident notifications are delivered by email and, where a client has explicitly opted in, by SMS to the mobile number on the account. SMS alerting is transactional only and can be withdrawn at any time by replying STOP.

About Vortix

A small firm, built for the systems that cannot go down

Vortix Global Dynamics LLC is a newly established boutique infrastructure consultancy, and we intend to stay small. Engagements are staffed by senior engineers whose careers were spent carrying production systems through regional outages, migrations under load and audit cycles — not by a rotating bench.

We work with platform and SRE teams inside high-growth technology companies, and with engineering organisations at established enterprises modernising an estate they inherited. The work is unglamorous and specific: reduce the blast radius, shorten the deployment path, make the recovery time real.

The firm operates from Sheridan, WY, and serves clients across the United States remotely, with on-site presence available for cutover windows and audit engagements.

Infrastructure is code, or it is a liability

Nothing reaches a client production account through a console click. Every resource is declared, reviewed in a pull request and reproducible from an empty subscription.

The team that builds it carries the pager

There is no handover to a separate managed-services desk. The engineers who designed a platform are the ones paged when it degrades at 03:00.

Recovery objectives are tested, not asserted

An RPO written in a design document is a hypothesis. We schedule failover and restore drills, record the actual numbers, and publish them to the client.

Least privilege is the default, everywhere

Human and machine identities receive scoped, expiring credentials. Standing administrative access is treated as an incident to be remediated.

Active incident?

Clients under a support agreement should raise a Sev-1 through the on-call escalation path in their runbook rather than this form. Acknowledgement target is 15 minutes, 24/7/365.

Submissions are used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell contact data.
