Backend Systems Consulting
Fulgurion Systems helps technology teams architect, optimize, and scale high-performance backend services — from greenfield design to critical production systems.
What we do
We work with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks, improve throughput, and build systems that hold up under real load.
End-to-end review of your service architecture with actionable findings on bottlenecks, coupling, and scalability.
Profiling, load testing, and targeted optimization for backend services — latency, throughput, and resource efficiency.
Ongoing advisory for CTOs and engineering leads making infrastructure, platform, and tooling decisions.
Designing for failure: fault tolerance, observability, graceful degradation, and incident reduction strategies.
AWS Marketplace
Fixed-scope engagements available directly through AWS Marketplace — clear deliverables, expert execution, no open-ended commitments. Charges appear on your existing AWS bill; no separate invoicing or new vendor relationship needed.
A 10-hour read-only audit of your running AWS backend. We map bottlenecks across compute, storage, networking, and data services and deliver a prioritized written report with cost-savings estimates, plus a live walkthrough with your team.
From the blog
Engineering notes on backend performance, serverless architecture, and the tradeoffs we see in the field.
DynamoDB now runs similarity queries natively, and the embedding is an ordinary attribute on an ordinary item. The row and its vector commit in the same PutItem, collapsing a two-system architecture into one write.
Read post →Any request that can be retried eventually will be, against a handler that already succeeded. At-least-once delivery comes for free; exactly-once is something you build, here with DynamoDB conditional writes.
Read post →Lambda's autoscaling is bounded on two axes: how many invocations run at once and how fast capacity is added. What concurrency really means, the requests-per-second trap, and the levers to mitigate it.
Read post →About
Fulgurion Systems was founded to give engineering teams access to senior expertise in high-performance backend systems — without the overhead of a large consulting firm.
We specialize in distributed systems, service performance, and the hard problems that emerge at scale. Our work is hands-on and technical, focused on outcomes that matter in production.
