Distributed Systems Architecture

Building Distributed Systems That Scale

From microservices to autonomous operations. I architect and build distributed systems that handle millions of requests, self-heal from failures, and scale seamlessly with AI-powered intelligence.

What I Build

End-to-end distributed systems with modern architecture patterns and AI integration

Microservices Architecture

Decompose monoliths into independent, scalable services. Each service owns its data and business logic.

  • Service decomposition strategy
  • API gateway design
  • Inter-service communication
  • Data consistency patterns

Kubernetes Orchestration

Container orchestration at scale. Automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

  • Cluster architecture & setup
  • Helm charts & GitOps
  • Auto-scaling & load balancing
  • Service mesh integration

Event-Driven Architecture

Build reactive systems that respond to events in real-time. Async processing for ultimate scalability.

  • Message queue design (RabbitMQ, Kafka)
  • Event sourcing patterns
  • CQRS implementation
  • Saga pattern for transactions

Distributed Data Layer

Multi-database strategies. SQL, NoSQL, caching layers, and search indexes working in harmony.

  • Database-per-service pattern
  • Redis caching strategies
  • Elasticsearch integration
  • Data synchronization

AI-Powered Operations

Self-healing systems with predictive analytics. AI monitors, predicts failures, and takes corrective action.

  • Anomaly detection
  • Predictive scaling
  • Automated remediation
  • Intelligent alerting

Resilience & Fault Tolerance

Systems that keep running when components fail. Circuit breakers, retries, fallbacks, and bulkheads.

  • Circuit breaker patterns
  • Graceful degradation
  • Chaos engineering
  • Disaster recovery

System Building Process

From concept to production-ready distributed system

1. Architecture Design

Domain modeling, service boundaries, and data flow design

2. Implementation

Service development, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines

3. Deployment

Kubernetes orchestration, monitoring setup, and scaling config

4. Optimization

Performance tuning, AI integration, and continuous improvement
