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.
A production-ready Rust + Axum service on AWS Lambda, delivered in a sprint. 10–50ms cold starts, a fraction of the memory footprint of Python or Node — with infrastructure-as-code via AWS CDK and a two-stage CI/CD pipeline ready for your team to extend.

What the term actually means, why logs alone leave you debugging in production, and the bar an application has to clear before you can say it has observability.

Lambda's free stdout-to-CloudWatch path stops being enough as soon as you want metrics, traces, or any other backend. Every alternative trades duration billing against dropped signal.

How fast safe changes reach production, whether a regression stays contained, and whether problems are observed before customers see them. Each maps to a category of business risk.
