π§± What Scaling Looks Like (And Why It Breaks Most Startups)
Let's say you launched an MVP in 30 days. Congrats!
But now:
- Users are increasing
- Your dashboard takes 4+ seconds to load
- Devs are scared to push new features
- You're juggling frontend/backend/infra chaos
π This is not a tech issue, it's an architecture issue.
π§ How We Fix It (Across Any Stack)
We use proven strategies and cloud-native tools -- across Google Cloud, AWS, Vercel, Firebase, Supabase, Node.js, and more -- to stabilize and scale your product.
Here's how we do it:
πΉ 1. Scalable Architecture Design
Before: Single server, tightly coupled APIs, spaghetti DB logic
After: Modular services + environment separation + async processing
- β Microservices / API gateways
- β Cloud Run / Docker / Lambda-ready
- β CI/CD pipelines
- β No vendor lock-in
πΉ 2. Data Layer Optimization
We work with: Firestore, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Supabase, BigQuery
- β Indexing + query tuning
- β Separation of hot/cold storage
- β Event-driven systems (Pub/Sub, Kafka)
- β Backup, restore, and rollback automation
πΉ 3. Secure & Efficient Authentication
Whether it's Firebase Auth, Auth0, Supabase Auth, or custom OAuth...
- β Multi-provider support (Google, Apple, GitHub)
- β Role-based access
- β Session/token validation
- β SSO for B2B apps
πΉ 4. Real-Time + Queued Processing
- β Chat, presence, sync with Firebase/Supabase
- β Background jobs with Cloud Tasks, BullMQ, Sidekiq
- β Scalable queues with Pub/Sub or RabbitMQ
- β Webhooks, retries, and failure handling
πΉ 5. DevOps + Environment Automation
- β Dev/Staging/Prod setup
- β GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Terraform
- β Monitoring with Grafana, Prometheus, Sentry
- β Auto-scaling & global CDNs
