Your Applications Are Ready for Containers.
Your Platform Needs to Be Ready First.
Moving to containers without a production-grade Kubernetes platform, GitOps pipeline, and observability layer produces the same result as running on a VM — plus the overhead of managing containers. The platform is the hard part. Symhas builds it correctly from day one.Symhas designs and deploys Amazon EKS with Fargate profiles, Lambda for event-driven workloads, and API Gateway — with ArgoCD or Flux GitOps, service mesh, KEDA auto-scaling, and ECR Enhanced Scanning blocking vulnerable deployments before they reach the cluster.

Production-Grade on AWS.

Every capability designed, deployed, and documented by Symhas AWS-certified architects. Fixed price. SLA-backed from go-live.

Amazon EKS Cluster ArchitectureEKS · Node groups · Fargate · IRSA · Multi-AZ · Add-ons
Production EKS clusters — multi-AZ, managed node groups for stateful workloads, Fargate profiles for serverless pods, and IRSA giving each pod its own IAM role without sharing node-level credentials.
EKS cluster — version, API endpoint access controls, and control plane logging
Managed node groups — instance family, on-demand and Spot mix, scaling policies
Fargate profiles — namespace and label selectors for serverless pod scheduling
EKS add-ons — VPC CNI, CoreDNS, kube-proxy, EBS and EFS CSI Drivers managed and versioned
IRSA — per-pod IAM roles replacing shared node instance profiles for least-privilege
EKS cluster that scales reliably and costs predictably — not one that surprises at month-end
GitOps Deployment PipelineArgoCD · Flux · ECR · CodePipeline · Image scanning · Progressive delivery
GitOps pipeline — images built, scanned, and pushed to ECR, with ArgoCD or Flux synchronising Kubernetes manifests from Git. Every deployment is a Git commit, every rollback is a Git revert, every environment is reproducible.
Amazon ECR — private registry per service, Enhanced Scanning, lifecycle policies
CI pipeline — CodePipeline or GitHub Actions building and pushing images with test gates
ArgoCD or Flux — GitOps operator keeping cluster state synchronised with Git at all times
ECR Enhanced Scanning — critical CVEs block deployment before image reaches cluster
Progressive delivery — canary and blue/green strategies per workload criticality
Every production deployment traceable to a Git commit — audit trail, rollback, and change history included
AWS Lambda & Serverless ArchitectureLambda · API Gateway · SQS · EventBridge · Step Functions
Event-driven serverless on AWS — Lambda triggered by API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, or S3, with Step Functions for complex multi-step workflow orchestration and CDK or SAM for infrastructure-as-code deployment.
Lambda design — runtime, memory and timeout optimisation, cold start mitigation strategy
API Gateway — REST and HTTP APIs with authoriser, throttling, and WAF integration
SQS and SNS — queue-based decoupling and event fan-out for asynchronous invocation
EventBridge — event bus routing AWS and custom events to Lambda consumers
Step Functions — state machine orchestration replacing fragile Lambda-chain patterns
Zero infrastructure cost at zero traffic, automatic scale to peak — no capacity planning required
Service Mesh & ObservabilityApp Mesh · X-Ray · Container Insights · KEDA · Prometheus
Production Kubernetes requires observability below the node level. Symhas deploys service mesh for mTLS and traffic shaping, X-Ray for distributed tracing, Container Insights for pod-level metrics, and KEDA for event-driven auto-scaling to zero.
AWS App Mesh or Istio — mTLS, retries, timeouts, and traffic shaping between services
AWS X-Ray — end-to-end trace from API Gateway through every microservice to the database
CloudWatch Container Insights — pod-level CPU, memory, and network metrics
Prometheus and Grafana — custom metrics and engineering dashboards alongside CloudWatch
KEDA — SQS depth, Kafka lag, or custom metric-triggered scaling from zero to peak
Every inter-service call traced, every performance issue attributed to a specific pod — not guessed
Delivery Model
Assessment to Production.
Fixed Price. Fixed Timeline.

Four phases with go/no-go gates. Scope and price agreed before week one.

01
Platform Design & Workload AssignmentWeeks 1–2

Containerisation assessment. Workload assignment — EKS vs Fargate vs Lambda vs Fargate Spot. Cluster topology and GitOps pipeline design. Service mesh and observability requirements. IaC module design approved.

02
Platform Build & PipelineWeeks 3–5

EKS cluster deployed via Terraform. Node groups and Fargate profiles configured. ECR and CI pipeline built. ArgoCD or Flux deployed and syncing from Git. ECR Enhanced Scanning enabled and CVE gates set.

03
Workload Deployment & ObservabilityWeeks 6–7

Application workloads deployed via GitOps. Service mesh with mTLS enabled. X-Ray tracing active. Container Insights and KEDA configured. Load test run, auto-scaling validated under simulated peak.

04
Go-Live & Team CertificationWeek 8

Production traffic switched to EKS or serverless platform. Auto-scaling validated on live traffic. Platform engineering team certified on GitOps workflow and cluster operations. Symhas moves to advisory.

Financial Services · EKS Platform$25B AUM Asset Manager.
23 Services on EKS via GitOps. 60% Cost Reduction. 8 Weeks.

The asset management firm was running 23 microservices on EC2 — manual SSH deployments, no auto-scaling, and no inter-service observability. The engineering team wanted Kubernetes but had no EKS operational experience.

Symhas designed and deployed a production EKS platform — multi-AZ with Fargate for batch, ArgoCD GitOps, X-Ray distributed tracing, and KEDA scaling on SQS queue depth. Infrastructure cost reduced by 60% through Spot node groups and Fargate.

What was delivered

Amazon EKS Platform — Financial Services Production

EKS 1.29 — 3-AZ, managed node groups (on-demand + Spot), Fargate profiles for batch
ECR — 23 repositories, Enhanced Scanning blocking critical CVEs from reaching the cluster
ArgoCD — all 23 services deployed via GitOps, zero manual kubectl apply in production
AWS App Mesh — mTLS between all 23 service pairs, retries and timeouts per pair
X-Ray — end-to-end trace from API Gateway through all 23 services to RDS Aurora
KEDA — SQS queue depth scaling for trade processing, 0 to 50 pods in under 20 seconds

“We went from SSH deployments to fully GitOps in 8 weeks. Every deployment is a commit, every rollback is a revert, every call is traced. That is a mature engineering platform.”

Why Symhas
AWS Expertise Built from Production Deployments.
Platform Designed for Your WorkloadsGeneric EKS ignores workload patterns. Symhas profiles CPU, memory, and burst characteristics before selecting instance types and Fargate profiles.
GitOps From the First WorkloadGitOps retrofitted onto manual-deploy teams is resisted. Symhas makes GitOps the only deployment path before the first workload is deployed.
Observability Before Production TrafficDistributed systems without tracing cause hour-long incidents. Symhas deploys X-Ray, Container Insights, and service mesh before production traffic switches.
Cost Optimisation Is an Architecture DecisionSpot node groups and KEDA scale-to-zero are design decisions, not FinOps afterthoughts. Symhas designs cost efficiency into the platform from day one.
Critical CVEs Blocked at the PipelineVulnerable images reaching production are preventable. Symhas configures ECR Enhanced Scanning to block critical CVEs before images reach the cluster.
Engineering Team Independent at Go-LiveBy go-live your team deploys via GitOps and manages cluster upgrades independently. Certified and operating solo before Symhas steps back.
