reliability work, set & delivered to specification

No. 1Kafka Reliability Audit

fixed fee · 1–2 weeks

A structured review of your event pipeline: offset and commit semantics, poison-message handling, partitioning and ordering, consumer-lag posture, and replay readiness. You get the failure modes before production finds them.

No. 2Telemetry / IoT Ingestion Build

project · 4–8 weeks

No. 3Enterprise Module Sprint
