Infrastructure
This section documents our infrastructure architecture, implementation, and management practices. We've built a robust, scalable infrastructure that supports our applications and services across multiple environments.

Kubernetes Platform
- Kubernetes Overview: Architecture of our Kubernetes platform.
- Security: Security implementations, including SSL certificates.
- Deployments: Guides for deploying applications and organizations.
Infrastructure Philosophy
Our infrastructure is designed around several core principles:
- Infrastructure as Code: All infrastructure is managed through code, enabling version control, testing, and automation.
- GitOps: Git repositories serve as the source of truth for infrastructure and application deployments.
- Scalability: Systems are designed to scale horizontally to handle varying workloads.
- Reliability: Multi-AZ deployments and redundant components ensure high availability.
- Security: Defense-in-depth approach with multiple security layers.
- Cost Optimization: Resources are sized appropriately and monitored for cost effectiveness.
Environment Strategy
We maintain multiple environments to support the development lifecycle:
- Development: For active development and early testing
- Staging: For pre-production validation
- Production: For live customer-facing systems
Each environment follows the same infrastructure patterns with appropriate scaling and security considerations.
Getting Started
New team members should start by understanding:
Before making changes to production infrastructure, consult with the infrastructure team and follow our change management processes.
